well, no extra credit for youWhat work was the chartiable aspect of ACORN performing? Even though this wasn't your original question.
here is from YOUR earlier post:
embarrassing, isn't itNPOs are often charities or service organizations;
or have you yet been able to recognize that a NPO has no obligation to fulfill charity work. the non-profit clients i serve typically are lenders. extending loans - by non-profits - is NOT issuing charity
free your mind and your ass will follow
this is sure to be rich
well, there you go. it should be very easy for you to show us where ACORN has been prosecuted for operating outside the law and/or had its 501(c)3 status revoked by the IRS. but - surprise - you didn't
hopefully, by now you are able to ascertain that a NPO does not necessarily equate to a charity.Which would disqualify them for any funds that appropriated to them for the purpose of charity.
and, neither have you offered us evidence that ACORN has been denied funds appropriated to them. had you done so, that would indirectly indicate your assertions against ACORN have some foundation. but again, you didn't because you can't
of course, we now return to your prior inability to show that ACORN received directed appropriations. and you continue to evidence that inability to offer such proof
yep, you nailed me. because if you are correct with those violations then ACORN must necessarily have lost its NPO status and had its 501(c)3 tax exemption withdrawn by the IRS because it has acted outside the lawAs far as them influencing elections, here you go....

ACORN agreed to pay King County $25,000 for its investigative costs and acknowledged that the national organization could be subject to criminal prosecution if fraud occurs again.
More Acorn Voter Fraud Comes to Light - WSJ.com
On Monday, Nevada officials charged Acorn, its regional director and its Las Vegas field director with submitting thousands of fraudulent voter registration forms last year.
I guess your reading comprehension is on par with your thinking skills, they both need great improvement.
but you haven't shown that. because you can't. because ACORN has not violated its eleemosynary status
in short, you are pissed because ACORN is a good contractor. it was hired (NOT by government) to get more voters registered and it did that effectively. and your guy lost, in no small part, due to the effectiveness of ACORN's operations. losing hurts doesn't it. you have reason to blame that on ACORN ... to some degree ... in addition to a pitiful republican campaign
The crimes ACORN has been charged with are in my previous post, damn are you really this dumb or are you acting? If your acting you should go to Hollywood, you would make a lot of money. Now if ACORN is performing work for the government, then there would be a governmental contract. In which, the contract would contain consideration on both sides. It wouldn't be a one sided giving of money. Hence, why I am sure you used the word "contractor" when you referred to ACORN.
This is the Hud website that lays out money that ACORN received under non-profit grantees .

grant definition | Dictionary.com
grant
 
1. to bestow or confer, esp. by a formal act: to grant a charter.
Just to make this clear as water and so that you don't misunderstand. I will use the example of college grants.
Free College Grants to Pay for Your Higher Education
Grants are distinctly different from both scholarships and student loans in that they are free gift money—so unlike student loans that must be repaid—and primarily need-based, compared to traditionally merit-based scholarships.
By this example, we can conclude that ACORN provided no consideration which would preclude this from being any form of legal contract.
Again I want to make sure you understand each and every aspect of what I am saying so....
consideration definition | Dictionary.com
con⋅sid⋅er⋅a⋅tion
8. Law.
a. something that suffices to make an informal promise legally binding, usually some value given in exchange for the promise.
Therefore your conclusion that ACORN somehow performed a contract is simply not true and is completely ignorant. Dumbass...
