Judicial Watch Releases Special Report: "The Rebranding of ACORN"

[The T]

Guess what dupes? All those scandals amounted to a hill of beans, and you're brainwashed racist ? morons...LOL!

You are a waste of band-width. Grow up and try harder. Remember to Vote each Category only once per Election. That's not too demanding, is it. Try not to poke anything out or electrocute yourself in the Ballot Booth. I'm concerned about you.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about.

How is the governor of NC Obama's "underling"?

You guys connect dots that simply don't exist.

He is the top dog in the Demoncat party.... like it or not

That's what you're going to go with? Every Democrat is now Obama's "underling", and anything anyone does is Obama's fault?

Works for you democrats and liberals chanting Bush Bush Bush.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Scandal-Ridden Activist Group Lives on in the Form of "Bullet Proof Community-Organizing Frankensteins" Created Across the Country

Judicial Watch, the public interest organization that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today released "The Rebranding of ACORN," a special report on the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) network, following an extensive investigation of the organization's transformation into various "spinoffs" and affiliated organizations.

The ACORN-affiliated groups existing today are ACORN in all but name. These groups tend to occupy ACORN's former offices, are staffed in many cases with former ACORN employees, and remain committed to ACORN's mission. Overall, Judicial Watch has documented 17 ACORN-affiliated organizations in the following states/regions: Arizona, Arkansas, California, District of Columbia, Florida, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, New England, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington.

Among the conclusions of Judicial Watch's special report:

ACORN lives on in the form of numerous state entities and in such affiliated organizations as Affordable Housing Centers of America (AHCOA), The Advance Group, The Black Institute, and Project Vote. In the words of Bertha Lewis, former chief executive officer of ACORN, "... these entities are carrying on ACORN's work of organizing low- and moderate-income folks... [We have created] bullet-proof community-organizing Frankensteins that they're going to have a very hard time attacking."

Tens of millions of dollars in ACORN's funds and other assets are still unaccounted for. The attorney general's office for the state of Louisiana and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, as well as Judicial Watch, continue to investigate what happened to these missing resources.

Judicial Watch discovered that the Obama administration continues to bankroll ACORN and its affiliates in defiance of the federal government's funding ban. For example, on March 1, 2011, ACORN Housing Corporation--renamed Affordable Housing Centers of America (though it retained the same headquarters and many of the ACORN officers)--received a $79,819 grant from the Obama Department of Housing and Development (HUD).

It is like trying to stop a Federally Funded Virus from Killing the Host. The Host is the Republic. The Cost of repairing the damage done here? The Obama Administration appears to have a very serious Ethics Issue. These Clowns are gearing up for 2012 now. We do not appear to have any support from the Authorities. Why is that again?

The extent that you guys just simply don't understand how things work boggles the mind. This vision of ACORN as the boogeyman is hilarious to me.

I'm thinking Miss-appropriation of Federal Funds, Tampering with the Voter Registration Process, Fraud. ID Fraud. Who do you think pays to have the messes these clowns make, get straightened out??? Put the Damn Voter Registration Forms in the DMV's, the Post Offices, the Welfare Offices, the Banks. What kind of Bullshit are you shoveling?

Amazing isnt it?

This Dem/Obama continuation of the Acorn Voter Scam that had FBI criminal indictments for Voter Fraud or Voter Registration Fraud in approx 15 States is nothing but arrogantly blatant disregard for correct Public Policy perpetrated by an Administration that obviously doesn't give a shit for Law & Order.

This ******* Felonious Obama Adm with Obama's stooge Holder are simply defecating on the rights of he American Public with flagrant impunity. Whatever these arseholes can get away with ...... they do.

They are trying as Ms. Warren to state what Obama refuses to admit.

Fraud Map :: Rotten Acorn ::

Let me help you out a little, maybe you'll understand a little better.

ACORN, along with a number of affiliated organizations, works to register low-income people to vote. I understand that that concept is repugnant to you (because they don't vote the way you think they should), but it's not against the law, and many would say that it's a good thing.

The way those campaigns are run, ACORN hires a bunch of unemployed people for a short time. Each of them is sent out each day, unsupervised, and told to come back at the end of the day with all the registrations they've collected. (They're not allowed, legally, to set a "quota" of registrations per day, but they'll fire anyone who doesn't get around 10 a day). At the end of the day, the staff is legally obliged to turn EVERY SINGLE REGISTRATION to the county clerk's office - even if they're clearly fake.

Now, which is more likely? An international conspiracy, involving thousands of people, or a bunch of lazy canvassers filling out fake registration cards in a Denny's and spending the rest of their shift playing video games at home? Once again, I'll come back to my police analogy - it's pretty much a given that there are plenty of corrupt cops, everywhere. Is that the fault of all the police departments across the country as a whole, or the few bad cops themselves?
