I can't make out the signatures. Can you please provide a list so I can report them all to flag@whitehouse.gov? At least the MSM knows how to stifle dissent! YES WE CAN!

Absolutely!

Keep the heat applied!

The more we learn, the more evil this organization becomes and those associated with ACORN should and will pay a profound price.

I think that one question born of this ongoing story and the continuing insight it gived into the "soul" of the Democrat party is, "CAN A CHRISTIAN EVEN VOTE DEMOCRAT ANYMORE?" as posted at http://firebreathingchristian.wordpress.com/2009/...

Keep up the amazing work BigGov.com! We need you!

(Sorry for the double post – I was logged out for the first one apparently)

Also ask them this..Why if the findings say they are a criminal enterprise, why the ONLY thing being done is giving them our hard EARNED money…….“The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has repeatedly
and deliberately engaged in systemic fraud. Both structurally and operationally, ACORN
hides behind a paper wall of nonprofit corporate protections to conceal a criminal
conspiracy on the part of its directors, to launder federal money in order to pursue a
partisan political agenda and to manipulate the American electorate…….First, ACORN has evaded taxes, obstructed justice, engaged in self dealing, and aided and abetted a cover-up of embezzlement …..Second, ACORN has committed investment fraud, deprived the public of its right to honest services, and engaged in a racketeering enterprise affecting interstate
commerce…..Third, ACORN has committed a conspiracy to defraud the United States by using
taxpayer funds for partisan political activities…..Fourth, ACORN has submitted false filings to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Department of Labor, in addition to violating the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)…Fifth, ACORN falsified and concealed facts concerning an illegal transaction between related parties in violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA)….”

Per President Obama's Healthcare speech last week, “Well, the time for bickering is over. The time for games has passed. Now is the season for action.“ as well as his plan for paying by reducing the waste and inefficiency in Medicare and Medicaid.

Why dont we start by cutting all funds for organizations “engaged in systemic fraud”

Why are none of the “main street media” not covering this or the ACORN videos? Why has Congress and the Senate not acted on this? Please write your Congressman and Senator as well as get the word out demanding answers for why they are still receiving money.

Also, per an administration spokesman regarding President Obamas Speech to Students, "The goal of the speech and the lesson plans is to challenge students to work hard, stay in school and dramatically reduce the dropout rate. This isn't a policy speech. It's a speech designed to encourage kids to stay in school."

http://www.ed.gov/teachers/how/lessons/prek-6.pdf

Really? I wrote my representatives how this question is not a political question (granted they stated not policy but was a MAJOR concern from the parents that ACTUALLY read the Lesson Plans,

“Why is it important that we listen to the president and other elected officials, like the mayor, senators, members of congress, or the governor? Why is what they say important? “

I will answer it, because it is up to us to make sure they are doing their job! If our Congressmen/women as well as Senators continue to give money to organizations that the House of Representatives KNOWS is engaged in systemic fraud, evaded taxes, cover-up embezzlement, committed conspiracy to defraud, racketeering, submitting false fillings to the IRS, and so forth, need to be VOTED OUT ON THE NEXT ELECTION!

Unfortunenately I am from the most corrupt State of IL. Our corrupt Democrats Durbin and Buris did not support the recent vote to cut ACORN off. But rest assured many citizens of this State fed up with the same old Chicago politics corruption will be making a lot of noise to vote these crooks out. We will not forget Durbin later just because he isn't up for reelection this time in 2010. We WILL succeed in getting him voted out when he is. I only hope the good people of SF and Vegas have enough sense to get Pelosi and Reid out as well!

Proud member of the district of the honorable Jeb Hensarling! I guess with over 300 house members absent in this letter, we know where the majority of the problems are, and oddly enough, it is they whom are up for re-election in 2010.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha haha ha haha ha ha! Yeah – shouldn't the dis-information czar Linda (whatever her last name) find this all a bit "fishy."

Can''t wait to see that pansy press secretary (Gibbs) try and throw off questions from Major Garrett this time!

WRITE THE BILL. Stop playing politics and do your job Congress. Republican and Democrats do what we elected you to do. Protect our nation from corruption and decay.

This thug organization has been a key player in the 2008 election…… talk about it at http://www.speakoutforfreedom.com

This is getting very interesting. I wonder what else Acorn has been hiding. I'm fairly certain they have been doing a lot of stuff that is borderline illegal if not absolutely illegal. Of course I don't expect the Whitehouse or Justice department will do anything about this at all. Great job on bringing this out. If you need funds for fighting off the lawsuits just put up a donation button and you will get all you need.

this web site shows links from ACORN to others

it shows ACORN connections to other people/organizations, etc, plus money connections

if you double click on another person/organization that then expands to show further connections

it's similar to the Van Jones connections Beck discussed on the radio

it could help you a lot

I included a tinyurl link and the full link is below

You know, I just thought of something…..James, Hannah, and Andrew are the REAL stimulous package. They are going to save us potentially $8,500,000,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gretta Van Sustren: "How much worse can it get for Acorn, well, apparently, ….a lot!

Bwaaaa haaa! haaa haaa haa haaaaaaaaa

Yea, and the dis-information czer Linda Douglas will be able to quell us and insulate the POTUS. His #'s tanked again since his speech. Looks like libs have a short attention span.

Obama can't cut his umbilical to acorn without fataly wounding himself, and that is why Holder ( our ethically
challenged AG) will never investigate acorn. Obama chose Holder because they both share the same sick marxist ideology. They will never do anything and the house led by the degenerate Pelosi will block anything
at that end. And if by some miracle you get them to do something the fix will have been put in
from the very beginning. The election of obama has brought into focus the perverted ideology
of liberals throughout the U.S. and congress. This is their opportunity for the big putsch and they are going for broke. Too bad for them they have already lost and don't realize it.

NEVER GIVE UP!

I think they will try to silence us, hopefuly it will take awhile. Check this out :

Congress had a staff report on 7/20/09 "Is ACORN Intentionally Structured As A Criminal Enterprise?" and has done nothing.
http://www.capitalresearch.org/blog/wp-content/up...

The House needs to vote quickly to stop ACORN funding just as the Senate did.

I found my Rep on the list, did you?
If yours is not listed, WRITE THEM and demand to know their stance.

I think you're right. The letter will probably never make it to his desk. After all, it is addressed to the "Honorable" Barrack H. Obama.

I'm sure lots of folks in the mail room are scratchin' their noggins right about now.

Please educate yourself a little. Yeah, I know, its just Wiki, but start with the link. Then follow its link to SEIU and any others that interest you [LUSTY LADY]. I found it pretty interesting that it is that wide open.

The list has been floating around the web for the past year, Google it, It's an eye opener.

Note to ACORN excerpt: They expanded asscess to PRIME CREDIT for low-income home buyers. Translation: We got mortages for 25,000 undeserving slugs, and wrecked the Financial System,,,,,,,,,,,,

You are right to state that they should be voted out of office as soon as possible.Our elected officials are supposed to have the brains to research these groups and people(Van Jones is just one example),that take in huge amounts of our tax dollars.All officials responsible should be forced to step down immediatly!

The Obama campaign contributed more than $800K to a subsidiary of ACORN (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review 8/22/08) Could that be why BOB CASEY voted for Acorn? Or could it be that Acorn is so vast that it has a place on the stock exchange and these 300 who support Acorn have stock in one of it's subsidiary's??? Hey, this whole thing is weirder and bigger than anything we have ever seen. Government funds used to promote ONE PARTY???

~WHERE IS THE OLD~MEDIA ON ALL OF THE CORRUPTION ON ACORN AND ALL OF THE EXTREMIST CZARS IN THE WHITE HOUSE??? Are they out of the news business alltogether now?

Here's an excellent proposal for legislation Mr Boehner:
So here I propose a less sweeping piece of legislation: it ought to be legal for any citizen of the United States to record any elected official or employee whose salary is partly or wholly paid with taxpayer dollars, whether he or she is a police officer, an esteemed United States Senator, or a lowly community organizer. That rule would help undercover sleuths keep government and the enterprises it funds accountable, whether through ideologically motivated activism, journalistically motivated investigative reporting, or whatever mix arises in this new era of democratized media.

Heh!

Not Over.

If you want to get a better understand of what Gore's goal is with global warming, read The Unabomber's Manifesto.
Industrial Devolution is the aim.

Brilliant investigative journalism. O’Keefe and Giles deserve a Pulitzer for this profoundly relevant and important work. This is bigger than Watergate.

One suggestion. I’ve yet to hear either O’Keefe or Giles or Breitbart use the term, “HUMAN TRAFFICKING” or “TRAFFICKING IN CHILD SEX SLAVES” in describing the prostitution of children.

Human Trafficking is the correct legal and political term for selling people into sex slavery. It is far worse, morally and legally than mere prostitution, which presumably involves a consenting adult. There is an joint effort to mitigate worldwide human trafficking and in the last decade, the US made it a punishable crime under US Judicial Authority if a US Citizen participate in it as either a supplier or customer EVEN IF THE CRIME OCCURS ON FOREIGN SOIL.

All DoD employees, uniformed or civilian undergo annual training about “Human Trafficking”, how to spot it, and legal obligations if witnessed (also legal consequences if involved). Guarantee that if you characterize” the practice of bringing 13 year old children from another country as “trafficking in child sex slaves”, that the label will convey a degree of depravity and criminality that is an order of magnitude worse than the term child prostitution.

You guys made a brilliant play right out of Alinsky’s playbook and artfully played it on those who seek to destroy Constitutional liberties.

Give theses two kid a medal of honor they more than deserve it, They have done us a huge, and then some favor. I think acorn should be closed up permanenty. and people this is just the begining to the investigations that need to be done. It needs to start from the top down. and clean washington up all the way. We all need to be selecting our next run of this decent leaders. We'll need them soon we can only hope

I just got onto it – maybe everyone is passing it around. I got it from someone else, because I asked. The site could be going down periodically. Someone else told me they downloaded it off my url. Try again in fresh browser – I got about 16 tabs going right now. I can't keep up w/ everything cracking.

Just realized – I used cracking – as in "Cracking Acorn" – didn't even realize it. LMAO

As a tax paying citizen of the United States of America, I will refuse to pay any income taxes unless ACORN is barred from receiving federal tax monies. It's time to take a stand against this outright corruption in our government. I have decide to sacrifice my private life and run of local office, I will work diligently to win, and then move my way up the ladder, and work for what my constituents desire, and the good of the citizens of this country.
Join me in taking action, tell the federal government that you will withhold all income taxes until ACORN is ineligible to receive funds from federal, and state governments…also join me in jumping in to the fray and running for local, state and federal offices, together we can make a difference.

I love that it says "printed on recycled paper" at the bottom of the page! HAHAHA

Goodness, looks like they've been looking into this for quite some time….I'm not going to read it all but just the first page is awesome….Glenn Beck has really done his homework huh? WOW

Great, informative site, DISCOVERTHENETWORKS.ORG–

Especially interesting is the stuff about Acorn’s demands for a “living wage” when it does not even want to pay its own workers the MINIMUM WAGE. Also VERY interesting is the long list of donors to Acorn, in addition to the U.S. TAXPAYERS’ handouts:

“In addition to membership fees and government grants, ACORN (and its partner group the ACORN Institute) also have received large donations from a number of charitable foundations, including but not limited to the Annie E. Casey Foundation; the Minneapolis Foundation; the Open Society Institute; the Public Welfare Foundation; the Surdna Foundation; the Woods Fund of Chicago; the Scherman Foundation; the Ben and Jerry’s Foundation; the Marguerite Casey Foundation; the Robin Hood Foundation; the Beldon Fund; the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation; the Haymarket People’s Fund; the Streisand Foundation; the Union Bank of California Foundation; the Provident Bank Foundation; the JP Morgan Chase Foundation; the Bank of America Charitable Foundation; the US Bancorp Foundation; the PNC Foundation; the Wachovia Foundation; the Roseanne [Barr] Foundation; the Carnegie Corporation of New York; the Lear Family Foundation; the Starbucks Foundation; the Arca Foundation; the Tides Foundation; the Evelyn & Walter Haas Jr. Trust; the Needmor Fund; the Citigroup Foundation; and the Democracy Alliance.”

IMAGINE HOW MUCH MONEY HAS FLOWED INTO ACORN IN THE PAST COUPLE DECADES!!
AMERICAN TAXPAYERS SHOULD DEMAND OF CONGRESS THAT ACORN’S BOOKS BE OPENED TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC, SO WE CAN SEE WHAT THEY’RE DOING WITH ALL OUR MONEY!

Mine is Michael Arcuri (D-NY) and I'm calling a few more too. Email, call, and call multiple offices – both in DC and in their home offices.

He is, indeed, stepping up.

He's also applying pressure to Holder to continue the investigation into voter intimidation by the New Black Panthers.

Yep. read em. This is a deeper mess than most of us could ever imagine. We must win this thing.

You can be sure there are thousands of us that will be working hard to get rid of 'dirty Harry'. He is only interested in politics, making money and furthering his kid's political path.

My congressman signed it. I don't love everything he does, but at least he's not shy about standing up for what he believes is right. While I disagree with his stance on immigration, he's very quickly winning me over with everything else – and he was just elected in November.

White House still silent Wednesday morning??? What's up with that?

Start the clock – countdown until we hear from the White House!!

I believe that the congress needs to launch a full scale investigation into the business that ACORN is running and not stop until they get to the top dogs involved. This will probably go all the way up into the Whitehouse but, so be it!

Where can I get a list of who signed this letter to POTUS?

[...] spread throughout the organization – members of Congress are calling on the IRS and the Obama White House to sever all ties to [...]

[...] BG: Last night, 83 members of the United States Senate went on record to prohibit ACORN from collecting any federal funds. Tonight, over 130 members of the House of Representatives sent a letter to President Obama, asking him to disclose and terminate all federal funding to ACORN. [...]

Nancy did you see this? after watching O'Reilly tonite that retired CIA agent who headed the team looking for Osama said tonite on his show that Holder and the Prez are hiding results of waterboarding from us the American people. They were able to stop a group planning a midwestern US attack and a UK attack. O'Reilly says he is going to look into this….lol That agent's last name is Sherer as I recall and he wrote a book I should purchase

Nice signatures I bet a hand writing analysis (graphologist) would have a good time. Some show a double standard for woman- cheaters. Other show dependence on others for strength. sexual abuse. I'm no pro but I can tell you there lots of secrets in there.

I work in foreclosures. I wouldn't mind exposing the banks. I think they tried to cover up a suicide at one of the properties I worked on last year.
