The outrage over ACORN, the controversial grass roots community organization, reaches a fever pitch as lawmakers in Washington begin to act. Chris Wallace gets the story behind the accusations from ACORN's CEO Bertha Lewis and from one of the group's harshest Congressional critics Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif.

"Hi. I'm from ACORN. Obama and Bertha Lewis gave me $900,000 to service you.
You fill out a few made up names and addresses on these mail voter cards,
and then I'll sign your names. Then, wow! Is this your lucky day - or what!!
After I get your 'change' up and off, each of you gets a jumbo subprime mortgage."

[Robert DeLong]

I didn’t really like the poll because it didn’t have: He lies about what his plan will do, as one of the choices.

I agree. It should have also added, “I understand his plan very well and don’t like it”.

"Get your pencils and paper ready. Today. we're going to learn how to use HUD federal funds to open a brothel
utilizing underage children imported from the Third World. And when I become president, this will all be legal."

ACORN Housing Corp got state dollars supposedly to combat the "mortgage foreclosure crisis," and, >> the ACORN Institute Financial Justice Center provides tax preparation services for "the poor," helped them get tax credits.

We need to put ACORN under the IRS microscope.

I have some really odd questions about ACORN and the census. My understanding was that ACORN operatives working for the Bureau of the Census were driving through every town, stopping at every residence, and recording the address of the residence with its GPS coordinates. Each address and set of coordinates was entered into a huge database at the end of each day.

Question 1: Who owns the database?

Question 2: Are we certain there are no "extra copies" of the database controlled by someone other than the Bureau of the Census, for example, ACORN?

Question 3: Did the Bureau of the Census comply with all federal laws regarding the collection and storage of the data ACORN was collecting for the bureau?

Question 4: Was ACORN really working for the Bureau of the Census collecting the aforementioned data or did ACORN simply want people to believe they were working for the bureau?
