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.

So if they are illegally operating this trumps the supposed illegal taping law.

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?

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.
