The ACORN nuts don't fall far from the tree... the money tree in Washington, D.C.
MM has another excellent entry exposing this corrupt, leftist, voter fraud organization that sponges off the tax payers (rede: you & me) as it shills for the democratic socialist party.
What voter fraud, you ask?
~Last July, ACORN settled the largest case of voter fraud in the history of Washington State. Seven ACORN workers had submitted nearly 2,000 bogus voter registration forms. Three ACORN election hoaxers pleaded guilty in October. A King County prosecutor called ACORN's criminal sabotage "an act of vandalism upon the voter rolls."
~The group's vandalism on electoral integrity is systemic. ACORN has been implicated in similar voter fraud schemes in Missouri, Ohio and at least 12 other states. The Wall Street Journal noted: "In Ohio in 2004, a worker for one affiliate was given crack cocaine in exchange for fraudulent registrations that included underage voters, dead voters and pillars of the community named Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy and Jive Turkey.
Etc., etc., etc.... Do a search on this blog for 'acorn', and you'll learn plenty.
And guess which Chicago politician did major 'activist work' with this corrupt, leftist, voter fraud organization before tossing his hat in the presidential ring?
But wait. There's more! ACORN has its hand deeper into other parts of the tax payers pockets:
~Under the guise of "consumer advocacy," ACORN has received money from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. HUD funds hundreds, if not thousands, of left-wing "anti-poverty" groups across the country led by ACORN.
As the Consumer Rights League points out in its new expose, the ACORN Housing Corporation has worked to obtain mortgages for illegal aliens in partnership with Citibank. It relies on undocumented income, "under the table" money, which may not be reported to the Internal Revenue Service.
Your tax dollars at work. Rede it all.
