About
Stop ACORN Now is a project of Americans for Limited Government. ACORN is a radical left-wing organization founded in 1970 by SDS member Wade Rathke. ACORN has grown to over 150 chapters throughout the United States. The organization is funded by a group of ultra-liberal foundations and unions. ACORN also received tens of millions of dollars directly from the taxpayers.
Over the past three election cycles ACORN has been tied to numerous incidents of voter registration fraud and other efforts to undermine the electoral system through fraudulent votes. In addition, the head of ACORN has admitted to embezzlement of at least $1 million. Whether this money was tax money or not has been covered up, with no explanation offered.
The efforts at voter fraud and the misuse of millions of dollars of taxpayers' money demand an investigation by the Department of Justice. If tax money has been used for partisan political purposes or outright stolen, action should be taken. And if, as it appears, ACORN has engaged in a coordinated effort across state lines to violation the law, RICO changes should be filed.
Seems to me like you are “a day late and a dollar short”.
More than that. The article points out that ACORN was founded in 1970. Do the math.
ACORN is also partially funded by the taxpayers. Let's see now, who pays taxes - Republicans or Democrats? Oh, yeah.
Where have the Republican administrations been regarding this, for the past Thirty Eight years?
Oh wait, I know the answer; the responsibility for investigating vote fraud, lies with the Civil Rights Division of the US Justice Department.
Talk about putting the Fox in charge of the Hen House.
Calling for an investigation now, under the current regime, could actually be counter productive. In case no one ever noticed, the Dems approach to investigations is to convene a panel of their own criminals, and then issue a “finding” of “no wrong doing”. That is not helpful.
We need to keep talking about it and keep the issue alive, so that the next time Republicans become a majority (fifty or a hundred years from now), hopefully something can be done about it. Until then, I don't see that we have any power.
150 organizations across the country. Funded in part by the taxpayers. How do you beat that?
This is true!...Now that Obama’s been elected he can and will use them exclusively in every endeaver and project wanted in the Federal government.Taxes will be funneled to ...guess who?I look for him to retire as the the wealthliest President ever.
How do we have any meaningful request for investigation and action with his people in charge of Justice? John Boehner wrote a letter to Justice, asking them to investigate Obama and ACORN as a criminal enterprise, which Mukasey ignored until Boehner sent the same letter to President Bush, who ordered Mukasey to act on it; when Mukasey finally moved on it, he learned that the entire Civil Rights division (division to investigate vote fraud) is politicized and would not investigate. Clinton's people, who are all supporters/donors of Obama. Are these some of the US attorneys that Bush could have fired and would not do it?
So we are going to have to come up with some strategies on how to go about this, with his people refusing to pursue this investigation, because you know they are going to refuse to do it.
Also impeachment. How do we impeach him with his own people in charge; we saw what happened with the Clinton impeachment.
Make no mistake about it, there are many democrats who have been frauded into office by ACORN as well. The democrat Secreatary of State in Ohio, Jennifer Brunner, is one of those put into office by ACORN. Now she has removed Cuyahoga Board of Elections, and that includes members of ACORN, from administrative oversight that was placed upon them by the Republican Secretary of State Blackwell, her predecessor.
There must be ways to go about it, and those are what we must discover.
We join them. Infiltrate them, and document all the law breaking that is taking place within the organization. That is what we need to do! Fund people to infiltrate them. We should pay them.
With an all out revolution of which the conservative sheeple are to lazy to participate in. It's easier to listen to RUSH & bitch at the radio.
Prepare to roast the nuts later.
Interesting idea, but I think you run the risk of becoming OJ Simpson by running your own sting, without being part of a law enforcement organization. Such an infiltration needs to be done by federal law enforcement. But they are now owned and operated by the criminals who are in bed with ACORN. Plus, they are too busy infiltrating the Hell's Angels and the Ku Klux Klan, and pretending to be 13 year old girls looking to date older guys.
The only group who could get away with what you propose, would be investigative reporters for major news organizations. So other than Fox, who is there? Most of the major media are in the tank.
I think you should propose your idea to Fox. They are the only ones who have made the attempt to expose ACORN. But for private citizens to do it on their own; I think that would be too much risk with too little possibility of reward.
Just my personal opinion, but I think statements like that have no place here.
Whenever I read comments like yours regarding revolution or the use of firearms to solve political problems, I cringe.
Don't you suppose that the Feds (who are now owned and operated by the Obama Administration) read Free Republic, for the sole purpose of looking for comments like that?
Don't you suppose that comments like that won't lead to the Feds shutting down FR?
Don't you suppose that comments like that won't ultimately lead to a knock on your door? Other posters have pointed out, that no matter how anonymous any of us feel, it isn't all that difficult for someone to find out who any of us are. It has already been done. And it has been done by people with considerably fewer resources that the Federal Government.
Sedition is still a capital crime. We are supposed to be the sane, law-abiding Americans. I suggest that we not let our words give them the ammunition to defeat us.
This bad and good. ACORN is so corrupt and at the same time so bold that things will get out of hand. If Obambi tries to stop any investigation of ACORN I think there will be all Hell to pay legally and the political capital that it would cost will be HUGE.
Really? And just who do you think is going to investigate them?
The Justice Department? Oh, wait. That’s the Obama Justice Dept, don’t you know.
Ahh...Congress? Sure, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are going to let that happen.
Hello! Elections have consequences. ACORN is now a wing of the Obama administration.
I fear that the last free election was the presidential election of November 2004. We are in danger of becoming a totalitarian state as there is already discussion of doing away with term limits for the presidency,. God help us!!
