NEW YORK – The head of activist group ACORN says the group has been left with a "scarlet letter" from controversies that caused it to shed most of its funding and employees.

Bertha Lewis, chief executive officer for the group, spoke to The Associated Press outside a federal appeals court hearing Tuesday in New York. A government lawyer had asked the court to block a judge's ruling that found that Congress unconstitutionally blocked ACORN's funding. The court did not immediately rule.

As if we believe the clown. ACORN will just morph into another organization or two.

“.....Congress unconstitutionally blocked ACORN’s funding...”

Unconstitutionally? My head just exploded.

My question is, "what did you do for a living BEFORE obama?"

The guy you "ushered" into the presidency has killed all the jobs, and put us into enormous debt...he has killed the golden goose that once "funded" you.

When the rest of the worlds organizations and businesses get on "life support", they shut down and find new jobs...well, HERE'S YOUR SIGN"

Get a job and quit sucking off the National TEAT...our Tax Money.

ACORN’s damage will live long after they're dead and gone.
Claire McCaskill’s victory in the US Senate race against Jim Talent is directly traceable to ACORN’s ballot stuffing in St. Louis.
