Fox News ^ | Saturday, September 12, 2009

Conservatives have cheered the Census Bureau's decision to sever ties with ACORN because it had lost confidence in the group, but the hidden-camera videos that prompted ACORN to fire four workers this week could raise more questions about the federal funding ACORN receives for housing outreach....

ALL “voter” registrations EVER submitted by ACORNs must be deemed as being not valid, RIGHT NOW!

Every last housing loan application in the past two years ought to be traced to see just what happened to those tax dollars.
The brilliant young film-maker and the young woman did not actually fill out the forms, so ACORN can say no harm was done. But let’s find out who did fill out the forms and where the money actually was spent.
Someone should go to jail. The government got Al Capone for far less than ACORN has done.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development Grants has given $8.2 million to ACORN in the years between 2003 and 2006, as well as $1.6million to ACORN affiliates.

Just think about how well off we would be if we followed the Constitution and didn't redistribute wealth without want and have most of it skimmed away in Washington.

Tea party's wouldn't be necessary would they.

Write your reps and senators. Those suckers need to earn the money that they get paid and so do their aides.

I emailed my congressman months ago and got a response the next day, I emailed him a 3 days ago and still haven’t gotten a reply, I think they’re backed up. Let’s back them up even further.

You dont think ACORN coached people on how to get a subprime mortgage that they were totally unqualified for, do you?

There’s no telling how much in government “grants” ACORN has been given to purchase T-shirts for it’s members.

KEEERIST!

After all that has come to light with ACORN, the block that contains the house that has the table should be obliterated!

Why don't we just go all the way and investigate ACORN for racketeering and voter fraud on a national scale--on behest of the Democratic National Committee?

“After Census Severs Ties, ACORN May Face Scrutiny of Housing Grants”

Good luck.
Getting an audit of an organization that has in the past represented
by the current President of The United States.

But...then again, he has no problem throwning folks under the
bus in order to “maintain my political viability”.

I will believe ACORN is out of the census picture when I find out who WILL do it. I am betting it will be another shadow group under the ACORN father group. IOW, the same corrupt black power type of thug organization.

Now that ACORN has been granted $billions in stilumi money as well as housing loan money, the statists probably will claim that they are too big to fail.

Last night on Red Eye, Hannah Giles, the undercover wonder from the ACORN videos said that the organization is probably scared right now when she was asked about the possibility of more videos.

There might be even more to come.
