House Judiciary Committee member Steve King (R-Iowa) is demanding congressional hearings about the twisted finances of the radical activist group ACORN.
“This spider web, this myriad web of ACORN dollars and revenue streams, every bit of them should be looked at, all the corporations that they are networked with all of the boards of directors of those corporations, the inner locking connecting, the faces that are the same from board to board,” King said.
I explored this very topic at length in the November Foundation Watch.
King’s call came the same day that Judicial Watch released a pile of documents from the Department of Commerce. The documents show internal communications at Commerce regarding ACORN and the U.S. Census Bureau.
Meanwhile, Kevin Mooney of the Washington Examiner tried to attend a meeting at the Center for American Progress Action Fund and was denied entry by an ACORN spokesman. The meeting attended by representative of various left-wing groups was organized to come up with a PR strategy to deflect attention from ACORN’s corruption.

ACORN: Open your damn books! We want to see where our tax money is going. Why won't you let the people see your books? Hiding something?

I think every state AG in this country should have been looking into ACORN and Planned Parenthood with an eye toward bringing RICO lawsuits against them.
Or can only the feds do that?

Obviously any probe in to ACORN is akin to the KKK burning a cross on the lawn of a local minority. We all know ACORN is standing up for the little LBGT minority female person. Whiny republican losers who listen to Christian ministers like MLK can't stand the fact that people should be rewarded for their minority victimhood status. Only whiny republican losers expect people to abide by the law and judge people for their content. Just because whiny republican losers don't approve of the vote fraud perpetuated by ACORN doesn't mean ACORN was wrong. Whiny republican losers need to wake up to the fact that the era of MLK is dead.

Wow, Mr. Vadum, what yeoman's work you have done on the ACORN story. Your exhaustive article for Foundation Watch was truly an eye opener. The web of ACORN, the genesis of ACORN, the Obama connection to ACORN are all so clearly laid out. Further proof that the mainstream media either abdicated their responsibilities to vett Obama as a candidate for president or they were complicit in this far-left agenda. I'm not certain which is worse, but in either case, our Pravda Press should be given no respect or the public's trust until they either come clean or see the light.
Thank you, sir.

Yea, "WHATEVER"! Scream like a banchee when some terrorists get their heads doused with water, but when election corruption and fraud exists, let just sweap it under the carpet and move on, right? Let see, the constitution and our laws pertain to the former, but not the latter, right??????

Murphy, why don't you take your homosexual, moronic, one-word-labeling, brain-celled-deficient self and go where you're wanted, which isn't on this site ["Oldefarte -- You are a stupid, incoherent foolish old bigot. What's the matter? The John Birch Society kick you out?"]. Do yourself and all of us a favor and go to nyt.com instead of here. No one want you here---don't you understand that? I'm not sure whose more disgusting and putrid---you or Olbermann [ or maybe your fellow homosexual, Rachel]????

ACORN - Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - is the refinement of Lenin's invention of soviets perfected for American conditions by Davis and Alinsky, both high functionaries od the Communist Party USA. In Russian community organization translates as soviet. Abu Hussein's only "working" experience was as a) community organizer, b) lawyer for community organizer, and c) law instructor for future lawyers for community organizers. Davis and Alinsky were his teachers - in Indonesia and in Chicago. ACORN brownshirts (they "sold" 1110,000 houses to "underserved minorities" now almost all in foreclosure) are getting $9 billion from the ongoing "stimulus" bill, plus more for their "work" in the 2010 census.
