Why are they not charging ACORN with crimminal activity under the RICCO Act? They have taken our tax payer money and are advising people how to start an illegal enterprise and cheat the government out of more money. If I did that in three different states I would be put under the jail not just in it.

The thing is in the past few days if we really look at the sound bites from the undercover videos the workers really seem to have been trained by a single person or by a script. Also this could have been in Acorn and any of it's fingers for a long time (say back when Obama was working with Acorn or longer). Someone needs to also look into this very carefully.

I can't wait for this to reflect more on Obama. We need a direct hit on his judgement and involvement in ACORN. What a scam and with tax dollars.

Rahm Emanuel
Fundraiser for Bill Clinton's campaign
Aid to President Clinton
Served on the Board of Directors for Freddie Mac
Congressman for the 5th congressional district of Illinois
Chairman of the Democratic Caucus
President Barack Obama's Chief of Staff
Shortly after Clinton’s victory in 1992, Emanuel began pushing the new President to exploit the issue of immigration for his political advantage.
Clinton stayed in contact with Emanuel on this matter; Solis and Emanuel soon coordinated a scheme -- which was titled “Citizenship USA” and was headquartered in Vice President Al Gore’s office -- to fast-track the naturalization process for both legal and illegal immigrants before the 1996 election.
“The goal was to speed up the process and turn as many legal residents and illegals into Clinton voters as possible.... Rahm was doing it under the guise of Al Gore’s Reinventing Government program. He [Emanuel] was definitely the point man and was past his neck in the scandal at INS….
He got every rule changed in the hiring of adjudicators so they could naturalize more Mexican nationals to vote for Bill Clinton, not to mention getting the rules changed to naturalize anyone [regardless of their immigration status or criminal history]….
They had immigration ceremonies at stadiums with DNC (Democratic National Committee) staff registering them as voters right there.”
At one Chicago ceremony held inside the Soldier Field 11,000 were sworn in.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) is presiding over three groups of Democrats.
The Congressional Progressive Caucus will push the rhetoric of class warfare and work with a network of left-wing advocacy groups to coordinate attacks on corporations and “the rich.”
The conservative Blue Dogs will emphasize fiscal restraint and a balanced budget.
And the business-friendly House New Democrat Coalition will back trade deals and tax credits for business innovation and more government support for research and development.
Pelosi pledges that Democrats in Congress will consolidate their power and prepare for the 2008 elections by staying away from controversial issues such as impeachment and radical policy proposals such as a military draft.
Pelosi pushed her 100-hour agenda, but many House Democrats and their allies among activists and in the media did not interpret the November election as a chance to merely tinker with public policy.
The Congressional Progressive Caucus was founded in 1991 by Socialist Bernie Sanders, the mayor of Burlington, Vt., who, in 1990, was elected to the House of Representatives as an Independent.
The foundation’s mission—to “bring together the collective wisdom of progressives inside and outside of Congress”
and to “serve as a communications, fact-finding, research and education center”—
suggests that it will follow the usual practices other 501(c)(3) advocacy groups use to avoid IRS scrutiny..

The CPC Agenda
What to expect from the Congressional Progressive Caucus?
“The Progressive Promise,” the caucus master plan for killing the U.S. economy, vows to nationalize the health care industry, raise the minimum wage and index it to inflation, preserve Social Security, re-build schools and infrastructure, and “promote environmental justice.”
The caucus promises to gut the 1st Amendment by fighting “corporate consolidation of the media.”
It would also build more affordable housing and strengthen unions and union organizing rights. In foreign policy, progressives would bring American troops home from Iraq, re-build U.S. international alliances, combat global warming and support debt relief for poor countries.
The CPC is likely to propose a program similar to its “American People’s Dividend” of 2001”
CPC may also engage in political theater stunts such as its “Economic Human Rights Bus Tour.”
During a 2001 tour, the CPC delegation (including Pelosi, Lee and Conyers) traveled to rural and inner-city sites in California where activists choreographed hearings on injustice and the need for more grassroots organizing and federal government programs.
Don’t be fooled by their districts.
The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) is not a tiny faction of lawmakers representing radical university towns and chardonnay sippers on the Left Coast.
With the control of Congress shifting to the Democratic Party the CPC is growing in size and influence.

The Socialist Connection
CPC may soft-pedal its Socialist ideology in the new Congress, but a 1999 position paper on economic inequality makes clear its rejection of capitalism.
“Economic inequality is the result of two and a half decades of government policies and rules governing the economy being tilted in favor of large-asset owners at the expense of wage earners.
Tax policy, trade policy, monetary policy, government regulations and other rules have reflected this pro-investor bias.
We propose the introduction or reintroduction of a package of legislative initiatives that will close America’s economic divide and address both income and wealth disparities.”
“The Progressive Promise,” CPC’s new political manifesto, recites the left’s usual complaints:
Taxes are too low, capitalism is unfair, Americans are racists, and U.S. foreign policy can’t be trusted.
But if CPC’s ideas are trite, its power is fearsome.
Here are the Democratic CPC members who control many of the most powerful committees in the new Congress: New York’s Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel (N.Y.), Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank (Mass.), Government Reform Chairman Henry Waxman (Calif.), Homeland Security Chairman Bennie Thompson (Miss.), Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (Mich), Education and Workforce Chairman George Miller (Calif.), and International Relations Chairman Tom Lantos (Calif.)..

Acorn should not get another dime of our money. We have know all along they were using it for illegal things. They all need to be thrown in jail. It won't be long until we find out alot more about Obama's ties to all this. This is a crooked administration.

I tell ya it makes me want to work for ACORN, it really does. I could probably just get high all day, obviously meet some smokin' hot "hookers", I could find out all kinds of ways to cheat taxes, start illegal businesses, finally GET a home loan, siphon money from the poor, the gov't, the homeless, the hungry, and as long as I'm just willing to sell my soul I'd go far with that organization.

The Justice Dept needs to tear Acorn apart and see what really makes it tick. But, that won't happen because too many extreme liberals/progressives are sleeping with it and would try to block any investigation Only if Americans would start screaming bloody murder and recall elections would anything happen.

Yeah - Eric Holder is gonna jump RIGHT on that. Probably after he's done prosecuting the Black Panthers for their "poll watching" techniques.

Here's a thought. How about getting the IRS to audit every ACORN employee's taxes? Geithner and Blarney want to catch all tax cheats, bet ACORN is full of them.

It all began with Motor Voter under Bill Clinton; erroneous voter registrations, illegal voting and improper absentee practices, then on to intimidation at the polling places. We know now that ACORN and other left wing groups banded together and found a "group home" headquartered in a vacated funeral home, where they have worked to destroy our country. Now ACORN is funded with our tax dollars while telling folks how to avoid paying taxes on illegal business operations. When will all this corruption STOP???
