The banks used these crackpot lefty community orgs to help create a mountain of totally worthless paper.

My senator (Shelby) sent me a letter informing me that ACORN had changed their name to COI.

ACORN is Now Called COI

This is nice and “in your face” because B of A was a shakedown target of ACORN to begin with. I’ll bet they’re enjoying this.

B of A is probably hoping to avoid a suit from ACORN or any negative fall-out from their decision.

Bank of America was one of the largest, if not the largest, swine at the TARP trough. I used to have B of A credit cards and got rid of them all when they started playing "Gotcha" games like dividing acocunts so they could collect two $39 late fees if payments were even one day late in addition to jacking up interest rates to 30%.

They are a low-down sleezy bunch when it comes to how they treat their own customers. But they had plenty of money to give to ACORN or finance homes for illegal aliens.

That’s why I’m all for trust but verify. BofA can always restore the funding later, after the heat dies down. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.

Beautiful. Government appropriations were not nearly half of ACORNS funding, but this will hurt them
