Yesterday came the news that ACORN was ‘dissolving’ its national structure, allowing many of its local chapters to go ‘independent’. ACORN’s destruction of its brand had threatened the existence of every ACORN office in the country. Shedding the ACORN brand will give them a chance restart the flow of public money and leftist donors.
Make no mistake, however, that while their names may change, the personnel groomed by ACORN and the tactics they employ will remain the same. To paraphrase a famous verse, “A Rose by any other name…has just as many thorns.”
Below is an invite to New York ACORN’s first ‘re-branding shindig.’ This Thursday, long-time political allies of ACORN and its Working Families Party will host a high-dollar fundraiser, in Manhattan, for “New York Communities for Change,” the presumptive heir to ACORN NY.
I wonder what would happen if a bunch of liberty and freedom loving activists showed up on this. I mean, it doesn’t look that hard to get to:
I bet it would be interesting. Definitely, keep me posted.
Ping.
If anyone believes that the local chapters are now independent, then they should call me about a great deal on a bridge that I can sell to them.
“New York Communities for Change,”
