President Obama has quietly moved behind the scenes to restore
full funding to the radical group ACORN, which was his former
employer and legal client.
In a move ignored by the media, OMB director Peter Orszag
circulated a directive to federal agencies ordering them to begin
funding ACORN again. ACORN is the hyperpartisan lead group in the
Health Care for America Now (HCAN) coalition and has long
supported a government takeover of the U.S. health care system.
The fiscal floodgates will soon
re-open for ACORN despite a congressional ban on
funding the activist group that has long been a practitioner of
election fraud.
In a March 16 memo Office of Management and Budget (OMB) director
Peter
Orszag ordered federal agencies to resume funding the
group whose employees were caught on hidden camera videos last
year condoning and encouraging a variety of crimes including
child prostitution and tax evasion.
The memo came a week after
renegade federal judge Nina Gershon of the Eastern
District of New York made permanent her temporary injunction
prohibiting Congress from cutting off funding for ACORN.
The memo also came despite the fact that the Department
of Justice is planning to appeal Gershon's ruling and seek a stay
pending appeal.
ACORN is under indictment in Nevada for election fraud. Jury
selection in set to begin in the summer in Las Vegas.
ACORN is also teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. The New
York Times noticed this fact only today and got around
to reporting it four months
after I reported it right here at TAS.
