Is ACORN On The Brink of Collapse???
Newsmax/The Lid | 11/12/09 | The Lid

Posted on 11/12/2009 6:02:41 PM PST by Shellybenoit

As reported earlier today, ACORN filed suit against Congress in federal court to overturn the congressional act cutting off their funding. The timing of the law suit was very strange, unless Congress acts again the government spigot turns back on in the middle of December. Why didn't they wait a month before spending the legal fees?

One reason is that the ACORN suit isn't only asking for the spigot to be turned back on, it asks for the government to give back the money that it would have received if they weren't cut off in the first place.

The Lawsuit also claims the Congressional funding cut-off has lead to cut-offs from banks and its private foundation donors, raising the possibility that it will not have the cash to survive.

In its current form it may be at the brink of collapse but never underestimate the ability of infection to lay dormant.

“.....raising the possibility that it will not have the cash to survive.”

Is that a problem?

Is ACORN on the brink of collapse?

After NY District 23, I'd say they've been relegated to out of the way districts to practice their voodoo politics.

But there's a pregnant question here, JJ; Is the MSM part of ACORN

Hmmmm.....

They will go into sleep mode until the zero people need to use them for voter fraud come 2010. Zero and the marxists will use our tax dollars to feed them thru the back door.
