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.
