Did anyone see Glenn Beck today? He had on two of the Acorn 8. Very brave women. At the end of show Glenn was almost in tears. The two women we already receiving death threats for speaking out on his show.

I think it would be a great idea to have an email/phone bomb thanking them for their bravery.

Thank you for coming to the ACORN 8 website. It's a work in progress, and you'll undoubtedly notice lots of new information and features appearing over the coming days and weeks, so be sure to check back often.

In the meantime, let's talk for a moment about what we are and are not. We've recently heard a lot of confusion regarding our purpose, and part of the reason we started this website is to clear it up.

ACORN 8’s purpose is simple: reforming the community activist group known as ACORN. We're not here to participate in rhetoric or mudslinging. Our one and only goal is to stop the systematic fraud and corruption going on inside the leadership of ACORN.

How?

First and foremost, we will use this website to post evidence of ACORN fraud and corruption. We're going to provide you with an entire library of documents, pictures, videos, and links to outside sources to back up our claims.

We will also form a community of people dedicated to reforming ACORN. We'll do this by creating a public forum, a blog where anyone can comment, and a podcast where we interview members of the labor community.

We've heard from those involved with ACORN that dissension, or even disagreement, seems to be equal to treason, even in the face of obvious problems. We believe that every voice should be heard, and on this site they will be heard. We invite everyone to engage with us so we might get past the name-calling and mudslinging and discuss how we can save this great organization.

Our beliefs about what must be done to save it may be different, but our purpose is the same: to make ACORN the most incredible, honorable, respected organization it can be. Once we realize that, then we can truly begin fixing what’s wrong.

Thank you for your attention,

Marcel Reid
Chair, ACORN 8
Executive Board Member, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now

Glenn Beck: "What kinda of organization where the chair and the board can't look at the books?"

My Answer: The US Government ie the Federal Reserve is not audited.

Does this surprise ANYONE?

And BTW, how does Obama get away with giving federal money to an organization like this, when they helped to elect him??

They are a group of ACORN insiders (and ex insiders) that are blowing the whistle.

There is a group of Acorn workers who have tried to audit the books for a few yrs, and instead of allowing an audit the big dogs at Acorn fired them. They were explaining how originally Acorn had great intentions but when then began to have some political power and then receive millions of dollars the organization became corrupt.

Yes. The ACORN 8 seem to be the good guys as the are the whistle blowers within ACORN. Please don't confuse them with the corrupt folks within that organization.

wow over 300 organizations under ACORN getting tax dough...

A ceremonial board...which means..an honorary position...NON PROFITS MUST have a board of directors to get the tax exempt status 501 (c) 3..some boards can be paid and some are not paid...this is clearly a front in order to get tax exempt status so they can get all this grant money from the taxpayers. SIc the RICO people on them and shut em down....it's a scheme. TONES
