News just on FOX: An Acorn Field Director has "flipped", is now working with Nevada Attorney General on case against ACORN. Nevada Acorn offices raided, field manuals on how to commit Voter Registration Fraud seized.
Conyers folded on the investigations in June.

does supremedoctrine look fake or like a plant to any of you?
” House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. has backed off his plan to investigate wrongdoing by the liberal activist group ACORN, saying “powers that be” put the kibosh on the idea.”
Ah yes, the infamous powers that be excuse. I think that meant whitehouse powers that be.. Just my opinion!
BTTT. That's an apt phrase indeed, although I believe that it will go unrecognized even by most of the hard left.
I may be mistaken, but it occurred to me that dingy, hairy really hasn't much power in NV beyond his bluster and his arrogant demand for special treatment as a Senator. I should think the State government can overrule him on just about anything he might wish to attempt, if they have the gonads for the job.
10-4, my name is jim, jim thompson. So many people have insinuated and proven threads were posted by trolls who did not reply to posts..i automatically thought it. I didn’t know what to believe... I looked at history and didn’t see an issue, but looked for other opinions.
In Acorn offices across the land the shredders are in over-drive.
I can’t find a link to this story.
Reid will kill the investagation.
Don’t bet the farm on it being the beginning for ACORN. Killing ACORN is moer difficult that killing vampires, or wiping out fireants.
Would like to see the thread left on, but perhaps title changed???

old article.. october '08
The Nevada office of ACORN had planned a potluck dinner at its Las Vegas office Tuesday night to celebrate the 80,000 newly registered voters its staff had signed up in Clark County as part of its work with low-income communities nationwide.
Instead, their office was raided Tuesday morning by agents of the Nevada Secretary of State and Attorney General who alleged in an application for a search warrant that ACORN had hired 59 felons through a work release program as canvassers and submitted nearly 300 apparently fraudulent voter registration cards as part of the drive.

spectator:conyers kills acorn probe
While obviously of a much lesser magnitude, the House Judiciary Committee chairman's May 4 statement exonerating ACORN couldn't have come out at a worse time. "Based on my review of the information regarding the complaints against ACORN, I have concluded that a hearing on this matter appears unwarranted at this time," Conyers said in a statement aired that night on CNN's "Lou Dobbs Tonight."
Just hours earlier his fellow Democrats in Nevada, Secretary of State Ross Miller and Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto dropped a bombshell. ACORN and two former senior ACORN employees in the state, they announced, had been charged with a total of 39 felony counts related to voter registrations.
"By structuring employment and compensation around a quota system, ACORN facilitated voter registration fraud in this state," said Masto. "Nevada will not tolerate violations of the law by individuals nor will it allow corporations to hide behind or place blame on their employees when its training manuals clearly detail, condone and, indeed, require, illegal acts in performing the job for the corporation."
Welcome to Free Republic. Glad to have you here.
That pic is dead on.
newest news article i could find..

Sep. 25, 2009
Despite all this evidence and a request in writing by 28 GOP senators — and despite the fact the U.S. Senate voted 83-7 on Sept. 14 to block ACORN from bidding for any more federal grant money — “Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., is refusing to hold a Senate hearing on ACORN’s activities,” the National Republican Senatorial Committee complained Wednesday.
Mr. Reid replied additional investigations might distract lawmakers from addressing more important matters, including health care and economic recovery.
“It’s become increasingly clear that ACORN may have manipulated tens of thousands of ballots in last year’s federal election — an area where Congress has clear oversight responsibilities — yet Harry Reid won’t lift a finger,” said NRSC spokesman Brian Walsh. “It’s hard to see his latest roadblock as anything but another example of Harry Reid protecting his liberal allies in Washington while remaining out of touch with his constituents in Nevada.”
That’s a politically motivated shot, of course. Stripped of the gratuitous elbowing, however, the question does remain: Do Sen. Reid and congressional Democrats really believe that if they just ignore the big mess their pet bear has dumped in the middle of the room, it’ll somehow stop stinking?

Well, if people give up and think that 0bama’s takeover of the US is inevitable and we are powerless and helpless; then yes.
I have come to the conclusion that such hopelessness and defeatism is demoralzing and supports the enemy. I would highly recommend adjusting all such negativity and helpless defeatism, for everyones’ good and not the least, your own.
that’s a forum that points back here.. :-p I think the title of this thread should be changed, because they were indicted, MONTHS AGO.
Hey. Stay on topic.
