Is ACORN a toxic organization? Illinois Congressmen Mark Kirk and Peter Roskam, along with North Carolina Congressman Patrick McHenry, made the case today at a press conference in Chicago.
Below is a press release handed out by the office of Congressman Mark Kirk (R-IL).
Research reveals web of financial ties between ACORN and SEIU;
SEIU Local 880 formed by ACORN, rents office from ACORN front group while another finances ACORN “election efforts”;
U.S. Census recently cut ties with ACORN but partnership with SEIU remains
CHICAGO – Illinois Congressmen Mark Kirk and Peter Roskam today urged the U.S. Census Bureau to end its relationship with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), a sister group to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) – a relationship intended to recruit SEIU workers for the 2010 census. Also joining Congressmen Kirk and Roskam was Congressman Patrick McHenry (N.C.-10), Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform’s Subcommittee on Information Policy, Census, and National Archives.
The U.S. Census Bureau delegated work to outside groups for the federal 2010 census. Following the release of undercover videos showing ACORN workers helping a fake pimp and prostitute illegally secure housing, the Census Bureau terminated its partnership with ACORN. The House and Senate voted to block federal funding for ACORN and ACORN-related affiliates, including SEIU. While the Census Bureau terminated its partnership with ACORN, it left its close connection with SEIU intact.
“Given SEIU’s co-location with ACORN in Chicago and SEIU’s intimate financial relationship with ACORN, we should take action to protect the public from the corruption of the 2010 census,” Congressman Kirk said. “To defend the integrity of the process, the Census Bureau should end its close relationship with ACORN’s close sister organization, the SEIU.”

ACORN Ping!

Heads up
It is time for the U.S. Census Bureau to also cut their ties with the thugs at SEIU.
Both ACORN & SEIU are first and foremost, partisan political arms of the DNC. That they are also corrupt, is no great surprise.
IF these ‘groups’ take one thin dime of taxpayer dollars are they NOT accountable to US taxpayers? Why NOT a class action lawsuit, as I have NO faith that BamaKennedy will allow the light of day to get anywhere near his pets?
Holder won’t go after Blacks threatening White voters in front of a polling place, he certainly won’t do anything about these criminal enterprises. There needs to be a way to get rid of him.
Which is why I would like to know why we who are fleeced to fund these people to work against US cannot file a class action lawsuit? It is as if the 'right' side is devoid of lawyers who are willing to defend the Constitution in a literal court of law. I am tired of lawyers writing books on what the Constitution says, means, and how the liberals have managed to pervert the Constitution.
Yes I mean to prod some of these lawyers who call themselves conservative or even maybe republican to get off their cans and start doing the legal leg work to end the madness.
Toxic?Its deadly
Yep.
FWIW, I did look for stories with COI in Google news search. All results brought up acorn stuff. The community organizations international is not catching on yet.
“Yes I mean to prod some of these lawyers who call themselves conservative or even maybe republican to get off their cans and start doing the legal leg work to end the madness. ‘
Be careful what you ask for. Remember Larry Klayman.
I never had sex with that ACORN!
