Brand Spanking New ACORN Scandal-Illegally Using Tax an SEIU Dollars To Support Progressive Agenda

In the mid 1990s, ACORN and the SEIU partnered with other progressive organizations to help form the Marxist New Party, a political coalition. In 1995, Obama sought out their nomination. He was successful in obtaining that endorsement and used a number of New Party volunteers as campaign workers.

The fact that Obama received the New Party’s endorsement in his first run for office cannot be dismissed as insignificant. On the contrary, Obama’s ties to the New Party and the New Party’s backers at ACORN and the SEIU are long-standing, substantial, and reveal a great deal about his personal political allegiances.

The New Party’s biggest wins in the country were in Chicago, including Obama’s victory in his 1996 run for the Illinois Senate. Chicago’s New Party was formed around two core elements, ACORN and the SEIU’s local 880. SEIU 880 was itself an ACORN offshoot.

The partnership between the POTUS, SEIU, and ACORN is glued together by this rule from Saul Alinsky:

I wonder if they’ve looked at the fact that Jenny Granholm gave an unprecedented 2 million dollar tax credit to the SEIU?

These people are scum. I see there are also websites out there about the SEIU busting unions as well and will check those out.

Despite its ardent public support of higher wages and union membership for all workers, ACORN has made repeated attempts to block the unionization of its own workforce while paying below-minimum-wage salaries to its employees. In addition to the extensive union-busting detailed by the NLRB (see Appendix A), ACORN unsuccessfully sued the state of California to be exempted from the minimum wage. In its appeal of that suit, ACORN argued that the reduction in the number of employees resulting from the minimum wage would violate its First Amendment rights. ACORN’s claims were labeled “absurd” by the presiding judge (see Appendix B).

I think we all know that tey work together and with the white house.
what we need is for someone to connect all the dots.

This is the kind of work for Beck or big Govt to look at and report , that is if Beck can stop putting down those who question why obama will not show his B/C.

I heard that they are now going to get 4 bil and if so then why are they and why have they not been closed down yet ?

The coast guard is being cut on it’s budget and so is the military and yet this corrupt group and SEIU are getting my and your money
