ACORN Crime Family Shutting Down Nationwide: Launching Renaming Effort
by Matthew Vadum

ACORN is attempting to perpetrate yet another spectacular fraud on the American people in order to keep tax dollars and foundation grants flowing into its coffers.

With the fallout from the hidden camera videos last fall, congressional funding of ACORN’s election fraud and racketeering business is no longer guaranteed, so ACORN is trying to pass off various state chapters as ”new” groups

acorn_logo_NYCCAs part of the radical group’s fraudulent rebranding scheme, ACORN has renamed its New York chapter New York Communities for Change. Unlike on the West coast where ACORN is at least pretending its renamed California chapter (Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment or ACCE) is not part of the ACORN network, New York Communities for Change shares the same Nevins Street address as ACORN’s Brooklyn office.

A March 4 fundraiser for New York Communities for Change is being hosted by Debra Cooper.

Meanwhile, the Massachusetts branch of ACORN has been renamed New England United for Justice.

More state-level name changes are expected soon while the basic structure of ACORN, which is controlled from the top using interlocking directorates, remains essentially intact.

The ACORN network’s interlocking directorates are deliberately organized to help ACORN escape legal and public scrutiny. “ACORN hides behind a paper wall of nonprofit corporate protections to conceal a criminal conspiracy on the part of its directors, to launder federal money in order to pursue a partisan political agenda and to manipulate the American electorate,” according to a report from the Republican investigators of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

Under indictment in Nevada for election law violations, ACORN feels it can do all this in the light of day because the Obama administration and the Democratic-controlled Congress have no interest in a real investigation of its criminal activities.

These improprieties include but are in no way limited to:

*a nearly $1 million embezzlement by the founder’s brother that was covered up for eight years while the brother (Dale Rathke) remained on the ACORN payroll

*misuse of pension funds

*commingling of public funds

*illegal loan from ERISA-covered pension fund

*failure to pay excise tax on illegal loan

*use of public funds on partisan activities

*money laundering

ACORN doesn’t care about the growing mountain of credible allegations against it because ACORN thinks it is politically untouchable.

FYI...

Keep your ears peeled for new groups.

I expect them to spin off into a couple dozen newly named groups, rather than a giant ACORN-like organization with 1 name to track.  Make it harder to spot the graft, or derive accountability or damage to related groups.

The KKK did this in the early 20th century:  Disbanded the national org in the face of law suits that would have decimated it, then re-corporated as state and county level groups across the country.

Communities that need to be "organized" are dysfunctional to begin with.  You don't organize failure.

But you do need organized corruption.   =D

Now that we know that the whole Jimmy O'keefe pimp story was a lie that FOX news aided and abetted, I wonder why we're not seeing any apologies from republicans for voting to strip Acorn's government contracts because of it.

I guess it's for the best, poor people shouldn't vote anyway. /sarcasm

I guess it's for the best, poor apathetic, poorly educated people that make decisions based on emotion rather than logic shouldn't vote anyway. /sarcasm

Fixed that for you.

and a few poorly-trained, low-level workers giving bad advice to O'Keefe and Co.

A FEW?! A FEW?!!!

Mickey Mouse, and out of state NFL football teams shouldn't vote, either.

Yes, because without ACORN's bussing and instructions on exactly who to vote for, "poor people" are completely incapable of getting their asses to the polls and voting. And it's damned near impossible for dead people to vote without ACORN's help.

If you need to have the ballot process explained to you 24 hours before the election because you're incapable of understanding it on your own, don't vote.
