Saturday, September 19, 2009 Rush Holt Voted to Continue Funding ACORN Yesterday, Rush Holt voted to continue to fund the left wing organization known as ACORN. We released the following statement: Fair Haven Mayor Michael Halfacre, a candidate for Congress in New Jersey's 12th Congressional District, today harshly criticized Rep. Rush Holt for being one of only 75 members of Congress to vote against a measure de-funding ACORN, the controversial left wing group whose workers were recently caught on videotape giving advice on how to set up a brothel, avoid paying income taxes from prostitution, lie on a mortgage application and how to claim 13 year old foreign prostitutes as dependents.: “Once again, Rush Holt has shown how out of touch he is with the people of the 12th Congressional District and that his attempts to portray himself as a moderate are just that- a portrayal”, said Halfacre. “He was to the left of even his own party on cap and trade; he is to the left of his own party on healthcare reform and now, when 70% of his own party voted against giving any more funding to this controversial group, once again, Rush Holt stood with the far left of his party to continue funding them with taxpayer money. We seem to have a representative who thinks he represents San Francisco and not central New Jersey.” Halfacre closed by saying “Simply put, Rush Holt's positions on a variety of issues of importance to the American people are outside the political mainstream and do not reflect the values of the 12th Legislative District. I intend to spend the next 15 months making sure that the people of the District know exactly who Rush Holt is and what he stands for, and proving that my positions on those very same issues are much more reflective of the people we both want to represent.”
