Exclusive: ACORN Illegally Operating in Maryland
BigGovernment.com ^ | Sep 15, 2009 | Mike Roman

Posted on 09/15/2009 9:40:55 AM PDT by BAW

Last week, we saw some pretty disturbing activities revealed in the undercover footage from ACORN Housing’s Baltimore office. By any measure of conduct, the actions of ACORN’s employees should never have happened. It turns out the actions shouldn’t have happened for another, very simple, reason: ACORN can’t legally operate in the state of Maryland.

According to the following documents, ACORN, Inc.–the parent organization of all things ACORN–forfeited its corporate charter in Maryland in 2006. ACORN Housing forfeited its corporate charter in 2008. Any ACORN office in the state of Maryland is potentially operating illegally.

The Maryland Attorney General has made noise about prosecuting the intrepid journalists who undercovered the misdeeds of ACORN employees. Perhaps he should focus instead on how ACORN was able to operate without a license in his state.

You said:
MD should go after them like they’re tiling a kitchen without a license.

Reply:
Reminds me of the time when I tried to widen my driveway without getting a license — paying a tax of $50. If only the authorities would go after ACORN as seriously as the authorities came after ME.

I believe this means that, since they do not legally exist in Maryland, they can not bring a lawsuit against anyone. But, they can be sued.

I keep checking back on the site to see the new tape they are supposed to post today that is supposed to be “devastating” per Fox last night.

I can’t wait to see what they have found that could be more embarrassing than what we have seen already -— CAN’T WAIT!!!

DEMOCRATS OWN THIS CORRUPTION, and it is time that the whole world gets a whiff of this whole stinky rotting mess that happens when your ultimate goal is POWER and WINNING, even at the expense of throwing MORALITY and CONSCIENCE out the window!!!

Headline should read: “ACORN running illegal operations in every state.”

ACORN illegally operating in Maryland.

Remember Nifong ?

" Gotta love the new video of Patricia Jessamy praising Obama at a DNC fundraiser, as well. Do you think the State’s Attorney General is biased on this matter? "

Jessamy ? you got some explaining to do !!

From everything Glenn and others are exposing, the roots run deep, and all over the country. The Democratic party may be the most corrupt in history.

Licenses? We don't got no licenses. We don't need no licenses. I don't have to show you any stinking licenses . . .

To say that this goes WAY !!!!! beyond Watergate is a major understatement.
It's amazing ? after New York authorities heard about the tape of ACORN in New York, they jump right on it to investigate.
In Baltimore ? they go after those who undercover this.
It will be very interesting to see how the Californian authorities pursue this.

Remember the Duke Case and Nifong ?

Heard last night that the DA in New York has done the right thing by attacking ACORN.

“They’ll just do what any corrupt entity with ties to the administration does; say “oops, it was an honest oversight” and file the appropriate paperwork. The powers that be will give a wink and nudge and it will all go away.”

Like Prof Gates fake foundation that took in $200,000+ i donations and only gave out $500 to each of his friends for “research”.

Get a lot of Harvard research for $500 these days do you ???

Fraud.

Cheat.

Screamer.

Fake.
