At least $53 million in federal funds have gone to ACORN activists since 1994, and the controversial group could get up to $8.5 billion more tax dollars despite being under investigation for voter registration fraud in a dozen states. The economic stimulus bill enacted in February contains $3 billion that the non-profit activist group known more formally as the Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now could receive, and 2010 federal budget contains another $5.5 billion that could also find its way into the groups coffers. An Examiner review of federal spending data found that ACORN has received at least $53 million in federal money since 1994. A downloadable spreadsheet of the $53 million is posted on washingtonexaminer.com.

You’re right on River Rat, I keep telling friends around the country to keep their eyes open for obvious movement of these thugs, whether training for something or meeting in large numbers. My friends aren’t all lilly white either and can be pretty effective.
Several of us used to have PI licenses and a friend was working on SSN fraud and “dumbed on” people coming and going in and out of a building without any signs, even unmarked vans (usually white) dropping off several people at at time. So he decided to go in and see for himself where everyone was going. He fit the racial “profile” of the area/activity so he was good to go!
It turned out to be a clearing house on med fraud techniques; there were actual pamphlets on how to spot surveillance, PIs, etc., how to apply for health care under other SSNs; counselors were there to assist, for a fee of course, incredible.
He ended up exposing a ring of health care folks scamming Medicare/Medicaid so you never know about people gathering, coming and going in an area that doesn’t fit such activity...
Defund the left.
Pubbies are notorious for funding their enemies...
BACHMAN/PALIN 2012 !!
Outside Independence Hall when
the Constitutional Convention of 1787 ended,
Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin,
“Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?”
With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded,
“A republic, if you can keep it.”
We paid ACORN. Our taxes. There is a solution to this madness and you all know what it is. All it takes is millions standing together and taking a stand. Not a shot fired. Hit them in their wallets.
Becasue Republicans are STUPID.
Why is there no address for the 2 that received the most money???? That’s odd.
I thought the same exact thing. That must be to/from the Obama slush fund.
BOTH CASES THEY WERE THREATENING AND ATTEMPTING TO INTIMIDATE.
_____________
They tried that with me, they would do it once and only once.
Infiltrate ACORN. Tape and photo the thugs at meetings. Sign up voters at conservative churches. File RICO charges against local ACORN thugs.
Our AG was helped into office (MN) by ACORN.

Will the FBI overseen by Obama do their jobs without partisan politics of Obama?
Was watching Beck today. He had an Acorn guy on. Away from the cameras the guy asked Beck if he was scared of black people. Beck through him out of the studio.
How stupid can this Acorn guy be?
Thanks for those references, if this had been under the Bush administration...well we all know there would be endless congressional investigations. Amazing!
I wonder if someone could sue the US government for being the financial support behind a criminal enterprise.
Demonrats are fighting Bachman’s Amendment to pull their funding
You are right. Defund these un-American damned criminals or ... (nothing I would ever put in print)
