ACORN II

Sorry, apparently ACORN stands for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, not Organizers. That is the power of this group, that they are at the center of an interconnected web of nefarious villains. Apparently, the brother of the founder of ACORN stole around a million dollars from the group, and the board covered up his theft. Michelle Malkin has a whole series of Articles about the criminal enterprise, so you should probably look there if you want a comprehensive list of the problems. The census bureau had originally wanted to use ACORN to collect data, but they decided to look elsewhere due to the various accusations lobbied against it.

ACORN

I'd hazard to say that I'm a relatively well-informed person. But all I've been hearing lately is the problems associated with this liberal entity, ACORN. That phrase stands for the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now. Initially, I didn't really know a thing about the group. ACORN bills itself as the nation's largest advocate for lower and middle income families. I have to admit, that sounds pretty noble. On the other hand, the things I have found this far have been shocking. Apparently, obama started out by working for this group in Chicago, as a community activist. When I typed the name into google news today, I found a bizarre news story about ACORN giving advice to a foreign prostitute ring. That was just the first item on a long list of strange charges. Apparently Glenn Beck broke the story, and even CNN is reporting on the liberal organization's disregard for the rule of law. A whole connected web of blogs exist for the sole purpose of exposing ACORN's alleged criminal enterprises. Vote-rigging, tax-evasion, and intimidations are some of the accusations routinely thrown at these 'liberal grassroots activists', who seems (to me) to be little more than a direct-mail front company to illegally use taxpayer money to promote a liberal agenda outside the realm of government. And yes, they receive a significant amount of taxpayer money every year. I'll try to get up to speed on the topic, and if anyone knows anything feel free to post.
