Hmmmm.

Now why would anyone want to get rid of a provision that prevents taxpayer dollars going to orgs that commit acts of fraud?

What ACORN needs is RICO charges.

Glenn has been doing a great job putting the info out there. The guy he had on today seemed to know a lot about the shenanigans within this organization. Seems to me some reporter would want the chance to break this wide open. Maybe not, it may make the dems look bad.

Did you listen to Glenn Today or Yesterday?

Staff members trembling from conversations with anonymous ACORN members.

A Funeral home as a front and almost 200 organizations within an organization. And hints from Glenn that if he goes missing or hurt....

I get the impression their are teeth behind this beast and no one wants to go near it. Like Glenn said, where is todays Woodward and Bernstein?

We need to get Glenn to edit the last 3 shows into 1, plus get the Acorn 8 together and do a show, let us know so we can record and copy it to evert talk show host and all that will listen. I recorded his gorebal warming show and have made 50 or so copies that I have given away Bwarny, Nancy and crew need to go

I don’t think most FReepers, let alone the rest of America have any clue how serious this ACORN situation is.

They’re going global.

"What ACORN needs is RICO charges."

And, all it's tennacle organizations.

Folks, we'd better do something about this thug organization...they're 'in-line' to receive $8 billion more taxpayer dollars (per someone on Glenn Beck's program).

Let me restate that:

A political party, voted to continue funding one of it's most important appendages, the street recon and coercion gang (ACORN) with the other parties tax dollars.

ACORN: American Coercion Or Recon Network

There.

The ACORN executive who was on Beck’s show last week has called for all members not to pay dues until the books are opened and can be examined.

Where in the Constitution does it authorize government to subsidize political activities? Particularly here, where the subsidy is only to one party’s instrumentality?

I believe they already took over and RICO laws need to be applied to ACORN and the fools on the hill.

Getting rid of Pelosi, Frank and Dodd would probably make a big dent in the DC stench factor.

If somebody takes out Soros, maybe they can save the world.

File for a different amendment with slightly different wording and keep after it. You just make such a stink about it and you never back down, and you’ll be successful. But no, our side backs down at the slightest challenge, the slightest road block, the slightest criticism. Well, at least we have one strong individual on our side, a 22-year old beauty pageant girl........

We are in a heap of trouble.

ACORN is the infant of the Brownshirt Army Obama wants to foist on us.

I don’t think that 53% of America realizes how Dangerous the Obama situation is

SEIU is one of the ACORN tennacles.

Obama Grants SEIU Wish At Expense Of Golden State

SEIU Paid Out $60.7 Million To Get Obama Elected
