Obama Administration Moves to Shutdown Disclosure of Big Labor-ACORN Connections
biggovernment.com ^ | Sept. 24, 2009 | Don Loos

Even before U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis was sworn in, Big Labor insiders like AFL-CIO lawyer and Obama appointee Deborah Greenfield were busily dismantling useful union financial disclosures produced by former Labor Secretary Elaine Chao. It’s another Big Government – Big Labor partnership aimed at keeping individual workers, whom they claim to represent, in the dark.

Why the hurry? Perhaps Union Bosses wanted to prevent the Virginia GOP and inquisitive people like Patrick Semmens from visiting DOL’s UnionReports.gov website that clearly reveals the Big Labor-ACORN collusion. Semmens discovered that teachers’ union bosses gave about $500,000 to the same Brooklyn ACORN office exposed on BigGovernment.com. Both the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) awarded ACORN service contracts.

That’s right; union bosses gave teachers’ forced union dues to the same ACORN that appeared to have no problem facilitating child prostitution. No wonder Solis’ Big Labor friends want to shutdown financial disclosure!

In fact, UnionReports.gov provides detailed union financial reports and is a primary source for many union members, reporters, columnists, bloggers, and researchers. But, the days of disclosure are numbered. Big Labor has commanded Labor Secretary Solis to shut it all down.

Will Big Labor’s ties with ACORN be hidden again?

In 2003, some sunlight began to shine on union financial disclosure revealing payments to groups like ACORN.

Itemized ACORN payments were previously hidden somewhere in reports like the 2004 NEA LM-2 report below. A quick comparison of NEA financial disclosure reports appears below illustrating the value of the reformed 2008 report verses the 2004 pre-reform disclosure. (For the entire reports, please click the following links: 2004 and 2008 NEA LM-2 reports.)

ACORN *IS* SEIU
Obama *IS* ACORN

There are other untold connections. SEIU is big in pushing amnesty too.

ACORN: Tax cheat - Group faces huge IRS liens

ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis told Fox News' Chris Wallace on Sunday that her group "absolutely pays its taxes." Not true: The IRS and Louisiana's taxmen have imposed nearly $2 million in liens against ACORN for failing to fork over taxes at its New Orleans national headquarters.

Let’s hope so. I hope they find more criminal stuff connecting Obama. I hope James, Hannah and Andrew B have the goods on Hussein.

Kind of like herding cats or corralling sakes...you'll most likely miss at least one. They are scrubbing all incriminating evidence but they've not gotten it all. KA-BOOM is on the way.

No, no. He plans to complete his coup by 2010. He no longer needs ACORN.

You've got that right. This organization has been around for a long time and this country is Infested with this scum and our political whores in Washington can't shake this group because they would all be exposed for their corruption. The Rats in office and those that put them there have been bleeding this country. Blackmail it's called and to anytime these Rats want to cover up another crime they cry RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY. It's worked for Hitlary, the murder of Vince Foster. Give it a little time an the mad man, Soddom obozo Jr. will be crying Right Wing Conspiracy when all else fails.
