Key Democrat calls GSE provision unacceptable - Yahoo! News: "Frank said the Republican compromise would restrict church groups and others involved in low-income housing and voter registration activities from receiving funds under the bill for affordable housing initiatives.

'The provisions in the bill by the Republican leadership and the members of the Republican Study Committee represent an assault on faith-based groups and other organizations involved in low and moderate income housing,' Frank said in a prepared statement.

'What started as a fiscally responsible, off budget and non taxpayer-financed way of providing affordable housing has turned into a political football,' he said."
