WASHINGTON – The non-profit organization responsible for the largest annual conservative gathering in the U.S. is under investigation for embezzlement of hundreds of thousands of dollars in donor money over several years, WND has learned.

The American Conservative Union, headed by David Keene and best known for its organization of the Conservative Political Action Conference each year in the nation's capital, has been embroiled in controversies in recent years, but this one is shaking the foundations of the Washington institution.

The American Conservative Union reported to the Internal Revenue Service last month a "material diversion of the organization's assets" totaling over $400,000. The group has an annual operating budget of about $1.5 million.

“”Founded in 1964, ACU represents the views of Americans who are concerned with economic growth through lower taxes and reduced government spending and the issues of liberty, personal responsibility, traditional values and national security,” the group says on its website.”

They are for what? Where have they been for the last 30 years? Oh I forgot, this is money for Elected Rino Elites.

Is it unfair to call Dave Keane a draft dodger?

Truth is a wonderful antiseptic...the more this crap comes out the better. We need conservatives that have values and principles...or we are toast!

“David Keene is leaving his post as chairman of the ACU, a position he’s held since Reagan’s presidency. He rose to the spot after serving as a political hand for both Reagan and George H.W. Bush in the 1970s and early 80s – and like Reagan was of an easily defined conservative movement.”
