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....

Y’all, here’s a GREAT vid about ACORN in Cleveland I ran across:

All I can say is - Bwaaahahaha!!!! Couldn’t happen to a nicer group of folks. >:)
I’m stunned a group like this could receive federal funding.
Look at you! You’re a pro. Congratulations! Well done!
Exactly! Obama=Acorn and visa-versa
These “advisors” from Acorn are just the tip of the iceberg.
How many “low income(or no income)mortgage applications”were prepared by Acorn to be submitted to their friendly mortgage lenders?
Hud,Fannie and Freddie were pushing for better than 50%of their loans to go to low income people and minorities.
Housing bubble anyone?
The money given directly to Acorn is only a drop in the bucket compared to the total cost they create for the American taxpayer.
But Barney,Chris Dodd and many other Democrats love them.
who bunch of people working there couldn’t get a real job if it hit them over the head.
“May” is the operative word. It means there is some probability that the event will happen. Unfortunately, I would guess that the probability is pretty low.

I agree. One of our sons applied to be a census taker in the previous census. They claimed they were hiring lots of people, but at the last minute our son’s application was rejected. He is white; everyone he talked to at the local level was black. I’m not being racist; it’s a matter of drawing congressional districts to increase Dem power. The goal is to give minority voters, who seem to be owned by the Dems, more clout.
May? They darn well better get a Congressional colonoscopy, followed by a law enforcement colonoscopy.
It's not just African-Americans/blacks/whatever.
It's illegal immigrants of every persuasion, and those who want something for nothing.
And all of them are being used by those who really control the purse strings.
The top heads of ACORN are two white people, whose goal is to rule the world.
"Hi. I'm from ACORN. Obama gave me $900,000 so you could get some 'change'.
Each of you just fill out a few names and addresses on each these cards,
and we'll just sign your names for me. And, my, my, this is your lucky day!!
After me, you each get cash from you new super jumbo subprime mortgages."
I’m not convinced. I’ll wait to see if Census hires them under their new name COI or whatever the hell it is.
Alinsky rule # 10; “Keep the pressure on...” This is OUR chance to use Alinsky against these Marxists.
Freepers, let’s commit to calling at least one US Representative and two US Senators demanding an investigation of ACORN.
You can get extra credit if you call more than three.
KEEP THE PRESSURE ON!
Re your #32:
“Wheres the RICO act?”
Try this (Thanks to another FReeper on related topic):
“CHAPTER 96—RACKETEER INFLUENCED AND CORRUPT ORGANIZATIONS”
TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 96

I saved it to file and printed out a copy, just to be on the safe side. You know how things potentially embarassing to the Ruling Regime keep getting mysteriously “scrubbed” these days!
I’m planning on calling both my Congresscritters and “Reps” to DEMAND (again; I did back in March) giving them “chapter and verse” from the Federal Statute.
While I’m at it I’ll recommend supporting the “JOHANN’S Amendment to HR 3288” blocking federal funding of ACORN.
I know; it’s a waste of breath, especially given Maine’s dismally liberal “representation” - but we have to annoy them about it, if that’s the best we can do.
May/ May face scutiny? It should be automatic/
