‘Dissolved’ ACORN Still Hitting Up Supporters For Funds

My God! I knew it was to good to be true. You cannot kill a Hydra as massive as ACORN.


The organized crime syndicate known as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), which has been making much ado about its feigned withdrawal from the national political stage, continues doing business as usual.

Proof comes in the form of an email, which went out to ACORN supporters on April 16 and which came two weeks after ACORN’s faked dissolution on April Fool’s Day as a national organization.

Writes ACORN chief organizer Bertha Lewis:

ACORN is not dead!

ACORN is alive because you are alive and still fighting for justice. Over the past 40 years, ACORN members have been through a lot in the fight to empower working families and families of color — and it has been the commitment of people like you, regular folks doing extraordinary things, that has made it possible...

Meanwhile, the Obama administration has already restored full funding to ACORN, which used to employ President Obama.

The fiscal floodgates are opening for ACORN, the president’s former employer and legal client, 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 quietly ordered federal agencies to resume funding the group whose employees were caught on hidden camera videos last year condoning 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 appealing Gershon’s ruling and seek a stay pending appeal.

It’s unclear why the Obama administration isn’t doing the responsible thing and waiting for the case to work its way through the judicial system.

They can't survive without money and Obama has ensured that this corrupt and criminal organization continues to be fed with our money. Absolutely Amazing!!!

WOW!

First Bertha Lewis says ACORN is not dead and now she claims that they are on life support and only have a staff of 4 people down from 350 to 600 people.

Poor Bertha...

ACORN CEO outside court: 'We're on life support'

This woman and ACORN as a whole are just deplorable.


Lewis said the legal fight was critical to ACORN's recovery.

"If we can survive this, inch by inch, little by little, this organization can build itself back up," she said. "We're going to fight like hell to stay alive."


Just when you thought they were going away. THey are fighting to maintain ground long enough to influence the 2010 elections and beyond!!!

Once an organization like ACORN is born, it is hard to kill it. But I bet the 'reborn' ACORN will be under constant scrutiny.

Acorn Says It Continues Its Work


After months of budget problems and criticism from the right, the community organizing group Acorn plans to release a letter next week clarifying its path forward and stating that its local chapters may be closed, but the national organization is alive and well.

“You will continue to hear from Acorn — in the mail, on the Web, and in the media,” says the letter, a draft of which was provided to The New York Times. “And we need your continued support to counter the vicious antifamily, antiminority, anti-immigrant attacks of the Republican right.”


Lawmaker Releases Report Claiming ACORN Operates Under Different Names


A Republican lawmaker released a report Thursday that he says proves the controversial community activist organization ACORN is alive and well, contrary to its announcement that it is disbanding.

The report from California Rep. Darrell Issa, the top Republican on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, includes details of a recent business transaction between ACORN and a California affiliate that broke away this year and changed its name in a bid to start anew.

The transaction details how membership lists, computer equipment, employees and other assets will be transferred from ACORN to the new organization.


I bet ACCE, the 'reborn' ACORN, will be receiving taxpayer money via the Obama regime in no time flat. The Democrats really need their field agents to stay in power.

Is Acorn still being funded by the Catholic church and other religions as well? If you missed seeing the operating handbook, it's here:

Them ACORN people, they're NUTS!!!!

I bet you my last dollar that Obama and his merry henchmen are all over the country assessing the viability of each in danger state (which is all of them hehe) and determining what life support is needed to help with the massive fraud they will need to commit come November.

Don't you close your eyes to these Nuts, they are more like Weeds-can't get rid of them. They are too corrupt and entrenched-over years. It will take some time to come up with some additional wool to pull over the eyes of the US people-again. S&F
