In the late 1990s, Erik Prince spent part of his inherited wealth to purchase about 6,000 acres (24 km2) of the Great Dismal Swamp, a vast swamp on the North Carolina/Virginia border, now mostly a National Wildlife Refuge. Here he created his state-of-the-art private training facility, and his contracting company?Blackwater?is named for the peat-colored water of the swamp.[18] Blackwater USA was formed in 1990 to provide training support to military and law enforcement organizations. In 2002 Blackwater Security Consulting (BSC) was formed. It was one of several private security firms employed following the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. BSC is one of over 60 private security firms employed during the Iraq War to guard officials and installations, train Iraq's new army and police, and provide other support for occupation forces.[19] Blackwater was also hired during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina by the United States Department of Homeland Security, as well as by private clients, including communications, petrochemical and insurance companies.[20] Overall, the company has received over $1 billion USD in government contracts.[21] Blackwater consists of nine divisions, and a subsidiary, Blackwater Vehicles.

We only give $1 Billion to a private security firm, yet we gave $8 Billion in stimulus to ACORN so they could continue their consulting operations for whore house development and the international sex slave trafficking of minors. Yey another obamanation!

Cite your reference for the 8B in stimulus (or any other) funding for ACORN.

And Michelle Bachmann claiming that it is true doesn't count.
