Everybody get out and push!
Seriously, we should make sure some conservative in Congress keeps the funds cut off, then somebody (Judicial Watch, Landmark Legal) should hit them with another lawsuit to force them to have to spend some more money so they go completely over the brink.
That does not stop the need for civil and state criminal RICO suits be be brought to bear on ACORN in every state of the union, especially Louisiana.
In the RICO suit legal discovery, we should be looking for links to SEIU, so we can hit them with RICO as well and bring them down.

From the article:
"Over the last six months, at least 15 of the groups 30 state chapters have disbanded and have no plans of re-forming, Acorn officials said. The California and New York chapters, two of the largest, have severed their ties to the national group and have independently reconstituted themselves with new names. Several other state groups are also re-forming outside the Acorn umbrella, and will not be affected if the national organization files for bankruptcy."
This sounds like a planned defensive maneuver. Perhaps to shore up the national finances, perhaps so the local offices can continue to function unencumbered by the national organization bankruptcy, perhaps to sever ties to any legal discovery actions can be limited to the national organization only.
I don't trust ACORN.

Acorn was a corporate entity.
Corporate entities are dime a dozen.
There are merely new accounts into which funds will flow
