Taxpayer Funded Serve.gov Filters Activists to ACORN
BigGovernment.com ^ | 17 Sep 2009 | Dana Loesch

The Obama Administration has placed a large premium on what it calls “national service.” It has launched a website, www.Serve.gov, that is reported to act as a clearing house for Americans eager to “give back” to their communities. Unfortunately, Americans looking for an opportunity to volunteer may get something they weren’t expecting.

By typing “ACORN” into the search field entitled “What interests you” at Serve.gov, you’re transported to allforgood.org where you can choose from a list of volunteer opportunities, including “healthcare activist.” This particular “volunteer” opportunity is with the Tuscon ACORN office: ________________________________________________

Also, Obama has set up http://www.servir.gov/, the Spanish version of the website.

I find the whole concept of a “health care activist” to be absurd. Truth in labeling would call such a creature a “socialized medicine advocate.”

Corruption is so deep 0bama cannot divert and blame others any longer. Federal money goes to ACORN/COI. Enough is enough.

Obama was only eight years old when a WHgov website linked ACORN to pimp healthcare for him AND he didn’t even live in the same neighborhood when this happened.

You knew that "defunding" ACORN was a load of crap. The money will simply be rerouted to one of its affiliates.

We have nearly an entire government that is incapable of telling the people the truth. About anything.

When will the rest of the publik wake up?

Is there a single rule on that list that ACRON hasn’t broken?

This is hardly likely to be the last controversy involving ACORN. Corrupt from top to bottom.

local Housing Authorities and mayors are in league with them. Including my mayor. Irving TX’s Herbertt Gears who is a “friend of ACORN”.

I hear that in some places ACORN and the Democrats share offices. That should be an outrage for a “non-partisan” organization. So too the fact they own the Working Families Party.
