This is total bs meant to merely disarm their detractors. There is no way that pos obammy is going to let this happen. They will simply reorganize under a different name or merge with organizing for america.
Rebranding names:
Former Acorn Housing - Affordable Housing Centers of America
California Acorn - Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment
New York Acorn - New York communities for Change

ACORN Int’l is now Community Organizations International (formally Acorn International)
