Unions gave ACORN nearly $10 million
Washington Examiner ^ | 7/9/09 | Unions gave ACORN nearly $10 million

Posted on 07/09/2009 9:55:00 PM PDT by Nachum

Almost $10 million in union contributions went to the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (ACORN), and its affiliates according to U.S. Department of Labor financial disclosure forms called LM-2’s.

The bulk of the donations came from the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), which contributed $7.4 million between 2005 and 2008 to the national organization, state chapters and allied groups. SEIU’s single largest donation of $1.5 million went to the ACORN Community Labor Organizing Center (ACLOC) in 2006. SEIU also made a $1.3 million donation to ACORN International in 2005.

SEIU = ACORN. ACORN = SEIU. No difference.

SEIU and ACORN are really the same group. SEIU is the illegal alien union. Both were started by Wade Rathke(?) another marxist pal from Chicago(???).

SEIU represents mostly government workers, does it not? My wife was getting a check from our state DSHS for being a caregiver to her mother while she was still alive and the damned SEIU was deducting dues from it. My wife had no choice but to join. Of course, she didn’t keep the pay but gave it to her folks to help with her mom’s other medical expenses as they were on social security. At least the money wasn’t going to some stranger as a caregiver.
