what was that that Obama used to do again… before the lawyer thing… Community Organizer?
chieforganizer.org = ACORN (No. Really.)
When on that site ^ and we clcik on “Bio” at the top, this takes us to a whole new site. Oh what a web we weave!
That site is - waderathke.com
Low and behold all of those sites above are listed on Wade Rathke’s site. Wade Rathke is the founder and Chief Organizer of ACORN International and SEIU Local 100.
Golly - Wade is like … Mr. Union! Yet… he wants to close the very companies that provide jobs - a whole LOT of jobs, and products at affordable prices (Walmart). It’s like he’s trying to take over the country or something. A communist.

Tides.org = Acorn as well; however something seems amiss. Site isn’t loading. Went to cache and I see they took the extra step of making images clear.
“Founded by Drummond Pike in 1976, Tides is a nonprofit that promotes social justice, broadly shared economic opportunity, robust democracy and sustainable ”
These are radio stations that belong to ACORN. I noticed they each gave to Obama to support his campaign, and even more dough to oppose McCain:
kabf.org
knon.org
Another Union that is Acorn - seiu880.org
Project Vote (projectvote.org) where have we heard that before? = ACORN

Mortgage Programs
Through ACORN Housing, homebuyers can gain access to mortgage programs with lower interest rates, lower down payments, flexible underwriting guidelines and lower origination fees. With AHC, you can refinance for better terms through the innovative agreements we’ve formed with lenders.
With AHC you get:
-Lower down payments and closing costs.
-No Private Mortage Insurance.
-Banks generally require 3 months of mortgage payments in the bank at settlement.
With our program, they don’t, which allows you to buy a home sooner.
-Most banks won’t count public assistance or voluntarily child support in determining if you’ll qualify for a mortgage.
With our program, all steady income counts.

Who: Busloads of shocked and angry taxpayers and affordable housing advocates
What: Lifestyles of the Rich and Subsidized Tour: Homes they never wanted the poor to see
Where: The parking lot across from ACME Comedy Club (708 N 1st Street)
When: Saturday, October 20th, 1 p.m.
Why: The city neglects affordable housing while subsidizing luxury developments
In recent years members of ACORN and other affordable housing advocates have watched with growing concern as Minneapolis rental prices have skyrocketed and housing prices have put homeownership beyond the reach of many low and moderate income families. This affordable housing crisis has reached such enormous proportions that over half of the people in homeless shelters have jobs and many more are being forced to move out of the city by rising housing costs.
In this context it came as a complete shock when ACORN discovered that our city government was not just ignoring this crisis, the city was making the problem worse! As it turns out 358 million dollars of city taxes are being funnelled into the pockets of luxury developers. These developers are in turn building totally unaffordable housing along the Mississippi river. This housing includes upscale loft condominiums, riverfront mansions and luxury apartment buildings. These units carry up to a one million dollar price tag and an average tax subsidy of $69,000.
ACORN members, taxpayers and those bearing the brunt of rising housing costs are understandably outraged that the city government has used our tax dollars to build housing that we could never afford to live in or own. We feel strongly that tax money should be spent on building housing for low and moderate income people who are the majority of the population and also the ones who need it. Taxes should not be spent on housing for the rich who are a tiny minority of the population that already have a tremendous advantage when it comes to finding good housing.
It is for these reasons that ACORN members and our allies are committed to exposing this injustice and then stopping it. Our first step will be to see for ourselves just where our housing money is going. On Saturday October 20th at 1 p.m. busloads of people from North and South Minneapolis will converge at the parking lot across the street from the ACME comedy club. From there we will begin our visit of the luxury developments entitled, “Lifestyles of the Rich and Subsidized Tour: Homes they never wanted the poor to see.”

did you get a ping to this? (Acorn, very long)
Have local law enforcement agencies distribute warning flyers whenever a rape or assault occurs in a neighborhood. <<<
What kind of fools are these folks?
The above will cure the rapes....if attached to the end of a rope and thrown over a tall tree limb.
As I read your first post, all I could think of was, “This is what they worked so hard to bring to pass with the communist manifesto............
And they want it all now.
How boring that life will be, I shudder to think of it.
An excellent thread, thank you, exceptional researcher should be your title.
Great research! Job well done!
