Blunt: News of FBI's Investigation of ACORN a Welcome Development

House Republican Whip Roy Blunt issued a statement on the news that the FBI was launching an investigation of ACORN, accused of orchestrating a widespread voter fraud campaign in key battleground states.

"News today that the Department has heeded that call and begun the process of unraveling ACORN's widespread program of alleged voter registration fraud is a heartening development -- and one all Americans ought to take notice of as they prepare to exercise their most basic civic duty next month," Blunt said. "I want to applaud the Department of Justice for taking this important step, and associate myself with the efforts of Leader Boehner to ensure not one more dime of taxpayer money is diverted into the coffers of this organization until Justice completes its review and determines whether ACORN's actions merit criminal prosecution."
