Something tells me the unemployment rate within the ACORN network is about to continue rising.

ACORN is caught with its pants down yet again by reporter Hannah Giles and filmmaker James O'Keefe in a new video at Big Government

The new undercover sting video shows ACORN employees at ACORN chief organizer and CEO Bertha Lewis's home office in Brooklyn, New York, trying to help the pair set up a prostitute business. This is the same office from which ACORN is selling out the poor it claims to represent by backing the Atlantic Yards redevelopment project.

As I've said for the last year (and in a new article today), ACORN is a criminal organization devoted to undermining the American system of government.

Bit of a pattern emerging...but they NEVER engage in election fraud.

I and a group of concerned North Carolina citizens are putting together letters to our North Carolina congressmen and Sen. Hagan to put pressure on them to seek investigations of ACORN, including with stopping their funding. We are also going to ask them to write and provide evidence he has asked Pres. Obama to initiate action at his level for DOJ investigations along with HUD OIG’s office.
Have you put together a timeline of the ACORN and Obama actions over the years? If so, please send me a link to it. We intend to include your articles and others in these requests.
They already have $53 million of our tax money and we do not want them to get a dime of the $8.5 billion of stimulus money.

Go Hannah and James... We need to picket the
offices of the commie media and demand they tell the truth.... Us Alinsky rules against them and bring them down... they are already tanking... so maybe a "Nudge" in right direction!!!

I agree that there are crooked people in Acorn, but this doesn't make the whole organization crooked. I could use the same arguments in trying to get the army/police/hospitals etc shut down. If you're going to look for crooked people you'll find em in every organization. What you need to expose are policies that promote corruption. I haven't seen this yet.

"What you need to expose are policies that promote corruption."

You mean like the "incentive program" they run for fraudulent voter registrations?

ACORN has been criminalizing the way in which the government and housing programs are supposed to work. ACORN has flexed it's muscles and made the possibility of Obama as president, almost in control of our census and commited fraud in about every way possible. Discuss it at www.speakoutforfreedom.com
