ACORN is not dead.
In fact it is working hard in Pennsylvania to elect Joe Sestak and other Democrats to Congress.
To stay out of the media spotlight this year, ACORN converted its Pennsylvania chapter into two new nonprofit corporations. The two tax-exempt affiliates are Pennsylvania Neighborhoods for Social Justice (PNSJ) and Action United. Both nonprofits filed their incorporation documents in January. Both groups operate out of ACORN’s offices at 846 North Broad Street in Philadelphia.
The two “new” ACORN groups have been very active in the current election cycle.
For example, on Oct. 20, before a candidates’ debate, Action United loudly protested Republican Senate candidate Pat Toomey’s support for Social Security reform. The demonstration took place outside Philadelphia’s National Constitution Center before the Toomey-Sestak debate got underway.
Pat Worrell of Action United said Pennsylvanians oppose Toomey’s “reckless” proposal to let taxpayers have greater control over their retirement plans. Worrell was chairwoman of ACORN’s chapter in Chester, Penn.
Inside ACORN sources say PNSJ has been conducting a get-out-the-vote drive exclusively in Democratic strongholds, including public housing facilities.
I wrote about this latest development in the never-ending ACORN saga at the Daily Caller. Read the whole article here.

ACORN is in Indian Territory, Chester & North Philly.
The real action is in The Collar Counties of Bucks, Montgomery & Delaware Counties.
Republican Pat Toomey still holds a small lead over Democratic Congressman Joe Sestak in the closing days of Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate race.
The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters shows Toomey picking up 50% of the vote to Sestak's 46%. One percent (1%) like some other candidate, and three percent (3%) remain undecided.

De-funding ALL of these "Community Groups" should be the FIRST THING the Republican Controlled House does. Not the 2nd thing. Not the 3rd. THE 1st!
The 2nd should be a TOTAL INVESTIGATION of GEORGE SOROS. I'm talking - RICO.
Deborah D | 11.2.10 @ 9:08AM
Amen, on both counts. These people are like spies who have wormed their way into our country, only they are supposed to be Americans. Or terrorists who want to bring the nation down. What is treason? Since we're putting up definitions, here's one:
trea·son
/ˈtrizən/ Show Spelled[tree-zuhn] Show IPA
–noun
1.
the offense of acting to overthrow one's government or to harm or kill its sovereign.
2.
a violation of allegiance to one's sovereign or to one's state.

While we most definitely need to bring back active prosecution for treason, if the people of Pennsylvania are duped by the Democrats and Sestak, with or without Acorn's help, they will get the government they deserve. Tribalism + democracy + stupidity = racist idiocracy.
DRed| 11.2.10 @ 10:18AM
Wow-they protested loudly, and ran a get out the vote campaign. In public housing! What a scandal! Thank God someone is keeping the spotlight on these unamerican traitors.
Irish22| 11.2.10 @ 1:57PM
Voter fraud should be included in the crime of treason. I can think of nothing, short of espionage or the outright taking up of arms against one's country, that better fits the definition. Perhaps a few executions would give these traitors pause.

Nothing makes my blood boil faster than the thought of partisans creating votes for their party by registering the dead, or stealing votes from the elderly through vote-by-mail schemes. Registration of known illegal aliens is just as bad. And to think it's being paid for with my tax dollars????
