Corruption in Congress or indications of “Ethically Challenged Disorder”:

Votes for Sale:

According to The Albany Project, Gillibrand recieved Acorn's endorsement for her re-election, stating "I am honored to have the endorsement of ACORN and proud to partner with them on an agenda...".

She then delivered payment for the endorsement by voting to funnel taxpayer money into ACORN even after the videos surfaced showing a pattern of illegal, immoral, anti-American activity within the ACORN organization.
