ACORN ‘Advisory’ Committee Has Huge Stake in Success of Group
by Kyle OlsonAs ACORN’s faux independent review gets under way, ACORN’s advisory committee, made of up key liberal allies, is watching it closely, as seen in a fresh media advisory issued by David Redlener of The Advance Group and obtained by ACORNcracked.com. That’s because ACORN is a critical component to the Left’s agenda for America.
Remember during the bank bailouts the justification was because they were “too big to fail.” Well, to the liberal Left, ACORN is too big to fail. It has its hands in too many things and runs an effective ground operation through registering voters, turning them out on Election Day, as well as managing ballot initiative campaigns as a tool to boost Democratic turn-out.
Consider Professor Peter Dreier’s analysis of ACORN’s use of ballot initiatives, from a 2005 article he wrote:
ACORN’s strategy to inject this issue into state ballot measures is another important step. In early 2004, ACORN initiated a statewide ballot initiative in Florida to raise the state minimum wage, registered thousands of residents, mostly in low-income, minority neighborhoods in cities, to increase turnout on election day, and won a decisive victory the following November. On its own, this is an impressive accomplishment. Since its victory in Florida, ACORN and its labor allies have begun talking about grassroots minimum-wage initiatives in other states in 2006, particularly where Democrats have a chance to expand, or hold on to, key offices. Campaigns are already underway in Ohio, Michigan, and Arizona, and ACORN is exploring possibilities in six other states and several cities. The strategy is designed to increase voter turnout and to provide candidates with a clear economic-justice issue.
Dreier, for the record, has a long history with ACORN and just last week appeared on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Show to decry the media’s treatment of the group during its latest scandal.
Consider for now just two of ACORN’s advisory committee members: John Podesta and Andy Stern.
Podesta, a chief of staff for former President Bill Clinton, is president and CEO of the Center for American Progress, and organization providing and intellectual ammunition and personnel for the Obama Administration and Congress. He received “special recognition” from ACORN at a recent event hosted by the National Education Association, the country’s largest teachers’ union.
Stern is president of the SEIU. His organization, according to its own numbers, spent over $60 million getting Obama elected and has been a leader in Healthcare for America Now, the organization, along with ACORN, that has been providing the ground troops in the fight for the proposed government takeover of health care.
It’s no mistake that government bureaucrats overseeing a proposed “government option” would be unionized, according to the legislation. Stern’s SEIU would likely be at the front of the line, given his union’s work to elect this Administration and Congress. Health care reform as it’s been progressing would likely mean a huge influx of members for the SEIU.
A hobbled ACORN would be a detriment to the Left and its agenda that’s still unfolding.

Rape Rape™ – T-Mobile Announces Killer New Polanski PederApp
Having trouble locating 13 year old girls in your neighborhood? Need a list of powerful narcotics to help you seal the deal?
Then you need Rape Rape™, the slick new PederApp – only from T-Mobile. Because T-Mobile knows most little girls don't really want a pony. No, they want the Polanski treatment.
"So he f****d a little white girl up the a**," Whoopi Goldberg joked on The View, "That was over 30 years ago. Chill out, America!"

Their advisory committee will offer no good guidance!
I am so tired of the "too big to fail" concept. Obama needs to say, "From this day forward the taxpayers will NOT bail out anyone. Deal with it!" I believe if we had never bailed out any one the economy would be on the way to recovery. Oh, yeah, there might be a few less banks and auto companies…but the one's that are left would be stronger. Get government out of my pocket and get ACORN out of my life!

Wouldn't the FBI be the appropriate group to investigate a criminal enterprise?
An internal investigation!! I believe they did this once before and fired all the investigators, it won't be any different this time! Time for an independent investigation of ACORN, ACLU, Service employees, AFSCME and clean this mess up
I am shocked…just shocked, at who ACORN chose to conduct the independent investigation. I never would have guessed they would choose nothing but ACORN insiders and former whores. I am done with the lack of accountability and utter irresponsibility of our government that keeps ACORN from being unmasked as the corrupt partisan enterprise it is. I am starting my own "non-partisan" organization. PECON- People for Equality in Community Organizing Now. My tag will be "Vote Republican, we need your money."
No matter what their report says we already know ACORN=CORRUPTION. Just like any gangrenous limb, acorn must be amputated from our society. There is no treating or repairing, it is rotten through and through and it must GO, or the patient will die a slow painful death.
ACORN's Advisory Committee is the Democrat Party.
Term LIMITS!!!
Starve Acorn and SIEU that is feeding the BEAST. Take them down one by one, 2010 election is coming soon.
Only Libtards think you can pick up a turd by it's clean end!
The United States legal system already has laws on the books to deal with enterprises that are "too big to fail". They are called anti-trust laws. If Congress was doing its oversight job properly there wouldn't be any institutions that dominate any one market because these institutions would have been broken up they way they are supposed to be.
We need to start holding Congress accountable for not doing their jobs.
Not soon enough! we need a change and we need it now before it is too late.
Well said, we have enough laws for all the problems we have, they just have not been enforced. But beside having congress do its job we also need to clean out the house and the senate from all the corruption.
the mfbi or any other law enforsement wont do a thing while holder is the head cheese
If I steal Millions from Tax payers can I do my own investigation. Just saying if this is the new norm of society I want my fair share
Do cops stop cars that drive eratically and suggest the driver searh the car for alcohol and drugs? Do you think the driver would find anything? Why didn't the whistle blower policy work regarding ACORN's ordeal last month?
The Big-Whoop is nothing but a racist pig.
If that had happened to a Tawana Brawley, Al Sharpton and Jessee Jackson would be outside with bullhorns screaming "No Justice, No Peace!"
It is a Liberal Fascist Racist cover-up, and the artsy-fartsy community cover for their own ilk……..
ACORN is a fetid, putrid, social disease, corrupt to its core. All who have worn the cloak of ACORN through the years should be highly suspect. It is now guilt through association. All involved, whether it be CON-gressional funders, Politicians, CON-sultants, the MSM, Bill Clinton and going back to Jimmah Carter are now further tainted.
The burden of proof should now be on them to prove they have clean hands.
They are ALL "damaged goods."
TERM LIMITS!!!!!

G-d willing if and when we finally rid our political system of the taint that is ACORN we need to get legislation passed immediately putting a stop to such organizations being allowed to form ever again. This country cannot afford to let such an organization run rampant as is obvious that ACORN has. Everywhere you look they appear to have their hand in every government pie. They are getting millions of taxpayer dollars under the table and the Dems and lefties are willfully using every resource to keep them afloat. This is why it is VITAL that as many Dems as possible get thrown out of the government in the next election cycles. They cannot be trusted. I have my issues with the weakness of the Republican party right now but at least we police our own. When we discover malfeasance on our side we correct it. When the Dems are the perps then they exploit it.
Now now, Cowboy – you must learn to TOLERATE our artistic, slightly "out of touch" child rapists. You're being very close-minded about all of this – and I'd hate to do it, but I MAY have to call you an… *ahem*… BIGOT!
Hey, my phone just went off – the girls must be getting out of school!
Dang it – I was supposed to meet up with Whoopi and Woody at 3 to go trolling for jail bait…
Whoopi is just so cool – I identify with her SO much, which is WHY T-Mobile is my first choice in cellular service providers! I'm sure glad that T-Mobile continues to run advertisements featuring such a wonderful pederass supporter!
Or did she sorta kinda apologize today with her sad little pseudo-intellectual legalese?
As you said, I'm glad it wasn't a little black girl – else she might be forced to take a stand for the little girl. What would THAT do to her career?
Next on Oprah… still no outrage. But thanks to all of the soccer moms for their continued support.
Sign me up!
Consider yourself a charter member.
Consider yourself a charter member.
Also the only member, besides myself. This is harder than I thought. When do I get my federal grant?
Hey, it could work!!
ACORN doing an investigation of themselves is a FARCE!!
Thats like asking the fox to tell you how many chickens you have in your coop
Is it possible with all the attention that ACORN is getting, that there might be individuals (who are associated with this group) willing to come clean and expose in greater detail the fraud, corruption and connections to SEIU, Obama, elected democratic officials, etc.????
Just sayin — there could be a lucrative book deal down the road!! $$$$$$$
Too Big to Fail! Whats wrong with that statement? As we seen in the auto industry, Hussein appointed a Car Czar, Ousted the CEO of GM, appointed a new CEO, and now has a controlling interest in the company. It's not about failing, it's all about the control and government owning private business is illegal according to our constitution. And as we seen in the financial industry, Government control and taxpayers still paying for bounuses?
Laws are in place to protect us. ACON violated laws and they need to be punished. Unfortunately the conglomrate is plagued with coruption and it needs to be taken out and if its tied to our elected official, they need to be taken down too. ACON is NOT too big to fail they violated laws not, by a few bad apples as Baghdad Bob Lewis stated but, throughout its entire organization. FBI, CIA, DEA, IG's, AG's should all investigate and aplly the law as it applies for their offenses.

Someone should investigate the slimy Communist John Podesta. Anyone connected to ACORN cannot be clean and that goes for Barack Hussein Obama and everyone connected to him! Investigate all these low-life, vote stealing, corrupt morons! Their only goal in life is to sock it to the taxpayer and reap the rewards.
Bill O'Reilly is asking Gov. Tlim Pawlenty to do a little more investigation into the Al Franken fiasco. ACORN registered 46,000 voters in Minnesota and Franken won by a little over 300 votes. I smell a RAT! If they find fraud in the ACORN registrations, they can recall the nitwit Al Franken. That would be great news because I don't think he won it fairly. Barack Obama and his ACORN nutwads cannot be trusted!
John Podesta?
Excerpt from the title page of this post:
"Podesta, a chief of staff for former President Bill Clinton, is president and CEO of the Center for American Progress, and organization providing and intellectual ammunition and personnel for the Obama Administration and Congress. He received “special recognition” from ACORN at a recent event hosted by the National Education Association, the country’s largest teachers’ union."
Then do some due diligence on the Center for American Progress, funded by George Soros:
Hillary Clinton tries to minimize the depth of her involvement with the Center for American Progress. But persistent press leaks confirm that she — and not its official President, John Podesta — has ultimate authority at CAP. "It's the official Hillary Clinton think tank," an inside source confided to Christian Bourge of United Press International. As Robert Dreyfuss notes in The Nation, "In looking at Podesta's center, there's no escaping the imprint of the Clintons. It's not completely wrong to see it as a shadow government, a kind of Clinton White-House-in-exile — or a White House staff in readiness for President Hillary Clinton."
