Still, one cannot trust this criminal organization to merely leave. They just do not give up like this. They must be prosecuted and made to pay.
Anybody really believe this snake is truly dead, or will just sprout a few more heads and come back bigger than ever?

I have seen exactly what she describes among lefty organizations. A crisis happens, money dries up, infighting ensues, and the whole thing blows up or becomes a shell of its former self. So it is possible, maybe even probable in this case.
I just would not bet money on it.
no .... ACORN it is not gone. This organization is insidious!
The last I heard - there were close to 300 offshoots or organizations connected to or with this crime filled money laundering fraud.
If this ‘chapter’ closes doors - ten new will open up!
You can change the name but slime is still slime.
They’ll regroup under cover of darkness and under a different name.
License??!! We don’t need no stinkin’ license.
Funny.. first Ohio, then MD.. It seems a bit too organized to be a sudden surrender. They (ACORN/SEIU) is up to something they aren’t telling us. A new name? Official Federal ownership? What?
PEEK-A-BOO!
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
