Here's another ACORN video. Watching her eyes move is distracting.

YouTube - ACORN Housing -- Katherine Conway Russell (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QjyIiDUyoY)

Somebody needs to create and post a sobbing "leave acorn alone!" video as a response.

The founders are clever weasles though. They might close it down and open back up under another name. They are also very tightly woven with SEIU, which is a union that has a stranglehold on a lot congresspeople. The house of cards is falling, but will rise out of the ashes?

Of course it will. ACORN *is* the SEIU. The investigation will take years, go no where, and in the interim the people at the top will form a new organization, and resume sucking resources away from the very people they claim to be helping.

I've noticed that nothing is being said about the fact that Obama was a lead attorney for them, and that he credits them for getting him elected. And ACORN has been under investigation in 14 states (with over 30 arrests) for VOTER fraud during the election!!! I think these issues are more important than the hooker tapes. But not a word!!

Okay so they were being investigated BEFORE the election. Check out this vid:

I imagine they have a huge tangled web of subsidiaries from which they can operate.

We'll just have to be vigilant. Obama and friends are not going to abandon their ground troops because Glenn Beck is putting the heat on them.

I want Beck to expose Obama's ties to this organization!! Like FOX did in the above interview before he was even elected!!!

They are in the process of doing just that.

From June 21, 2009:


Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (ACORN) leaders are using the threat of a law suit to silence and intimidate critics, according to current and former members of the liberal activist group.

In a letter dated June 11 an attorney for ACORN advised top whistleblowers that their unauthorized use of the organization’s name could make them liable for monetary damages and injunctive relief.

ACORN executives have also changed their organization’s name, which was tarnished by investigations in at least 14 states of allegations of voter registration fraud during the 2008 presidential campaign, and charges by current and former members of financial mismanagement and misrepresentation.

The new name will let ACORN leaders continue their operations without worrying about prior bad publicity, according to Marcel Reid of ACORN 8, a group of present and former members.

“We’ve known for many months now that the name ACORN is going to be retired,” Reid said. “The name has been so damaged to the point where the leadership knows it simply can’t go on as it has with the ACORN label out front and center, especially after all of the reporting.”
In fact, the process has already begun, she noted. Wade Rathke, who founded the organization, announced on his blog (http://chieforganizer.org/?s=acorn+international) that ACORN International has officially changed its name to “Community Organizations International.”
