ACORN's gone nuts

A comment in IMAO's How to be romantic on a budget patrick(I don't think he is the starfish from SpongBob) made a comment about ACORN.org. So you don't have to read it:

ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, is the nation's largest community organization of low- and moderate-income families, working together for social justice and stronger communities. Since 1970, ACORN has grown to more than 175,000 member families, organized in 850 neighborhood chapters in 75 cities across the U.S. and in cities in Canada, the Dominican Republic and Peru.
Now on their opening page they're denouncing President Bush's budget, saying it will cut out benefits to those people most in need. If you look a little further into ACORN's web site and find out how to join it will only cost you $10 month. Now is it me or wouldn't $10 a month help pay some of the bills, thus reducing their members governmental dependence? One final question, why should Bush care that people from Canada, the Dominican Republic & Peru don't care for his budget?
