NEA and SEIU Diverted Forced Union Dues to Corrupt ACORN Offices
by PubliusFrom National Right to Work:
Most readers are already aware of a growing scandal involving the pro-forced unionism Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (ACORN) in New York, Baltimore, Washington, and now, California. For those who missed it, ACORN representatives were caught on camera giving advice to undercover journalists on how to open an illegal brothel, launder its profits, and commit a host of other illegal activities.
According to The Washington Examiner, teacher union officials have contributed over 1.3 million dollars (in mostly forced union dues) to ACORN since 2005.
We decided to do a little digging into union financial disclosure forms on the Department of Labor’s website. After examining union financial records, it turns out that officials of several high-profile unions diverted large sums of mostly forced union dues dollars to the same ACORN offices in Washington and New York that are implicated in the hidden camera scandal.

We are talking the National Education Association and not the National Endowment for the Arts, right? I think if y'all are posting stories up about both organizations it would be helpful to give the full name of each organization.
So now we have unions giving ACORN money eh? It just keeps getting better and better!
The cesspool stench widens. L a Times did a series on SEIU corruption in California. In Kansas the CEIU has asked for names of temps in healthcare. They were told employers do not need to give out employyee names.
This looks like a crime spree being exposed.
RICO!
Corruption, yes, crime, I'm not so sure. Would I like SEIU officials in jail? Yep. BUT someone's going to have to spell it out for me. What crime, exactly, folks? The union takes it's member's dues. That is legal. The union then buys something from SEIU. The something described is "representational services," and why is that illegal? Jesu, I want these guys to go DOWN. BUT you're gonna have to do much better than that in front of a judge and jury.
Corruption with-in a union?
I wont believe it!
As this plays out it becomes increasingly obvious that none of ACORN's bastard children have fallen far from the tree…
NATIONAL GUARD!
Breitbart, the gift that keeps on giving ! Thank you Andrew ! You are doing one heck of a job. It is amazing what a few dedicated people can do.
We need to contact our elected officals and demand answers. We need the FBI involved. We need the Cia involved, due to some international connections. We need open congressional hearings that seek the full truth and prosicution of the corrupt, all of the corrupt!
Figures
WE have been here now for about two weeks, yammering like school children, meanwhile the Depratment of Justice, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security do NOTHING. Why? If there is a house on fire, the fire department shows up; if there is a burgularly, the police show up; in garbage day, the Garbage man shows up. Where are the FEDS? Why have they abdicated their responsibility? This does not bode well for public confidence…………………
Jay Edgar Hoover wouldn't have alowed this bullshit to continue, even if he did wear a dress……………..
The more I find out about the associations our president has the more I fear for the future of freedom itself in this country. We can't let him succeed. We just can't. God help us to keep this man from destroying our nation.
union dues should not be used for political purposes – period!

The Big Government-Media Complex. You know that $11,000,000,000,000 debt–the way these people keep solidifying power, we'll be lucky if it ONLY DOUBLES before there is a change in power.
There are few things that strike more fear into the hearts of Americans Than a radical left FCC Diversity Czar.

How are we supposed to believe that the masses who elected Ogizmo to his office didn't do so because and for no other reasons than Ogizmo is black. The left is getting this correct people this is to a degree about race. However the racists are the incumbent left wing radicals and newly appointed czars. Not the conservative right.
The feds can't do anything, AG Holder is too busy putting the lives of our CIA agents in jeopardy.
As a classroom teacher, I paid $80 A MONTH in dues to the union that did nothing for me. I now work for a charter and pay no dues and belong to no union. I wouldn't have it any other way. UNIONS ARE KILLING THE AMERICAN ECONOMY!
When I belonged to a teacher's union I would receive a form every election telling me how to vote! I would always rip it up and throw it away, becasue I can think for myself!
What is the difference they are ALL corrupt.
It's time to vote them all out.
We need term limits for ALL elected officials.
Frustrated
As a teacher, I'd sure like to see the NEA taken down.
We, the citizens of the United States of America, aware of our civil rights and in an effort to stop funding to corrupt organizations, hereby express our disapproval of the US Governments lack of attention to the corruption within.
We are aware of the corruption within Acorn, who has received more then 53 million of our tax dollars. We feel corruption exist in many offices and branches of the US Government. We have made repeated attempts to express our concerns, these attempts have been well documented. We feel our immediate and long term future is in jeopardy if this issue is not addressed immediately.
On the basis of the above, we respectfully call on Congress to pass legislation that mandates the immediate investigation of all offices and branches of the US Government. "Corruption Elimination Act" We also request that any party suspected of corrupt activities be immediately suspended of their duties until a thorough investigation is done.
If immediate action is not taken, we will be forced to pursue our legal rights and potentially take part in a Class Action lawsuit against the US Government. We hope our Voices will be heard, and this matter can be resolved in a timely manner.

And the nation.
I don't know about anyone else, but I am totally furious and disgusted that Obama is going to be on Letterman tonight for an hour. Some of the comments that he made on his interviews yesterday included his health care crap again and that he doesn't know or think that the Acorn issue is of any urgent importance …. not to mention we have security issues going on here and the safety of our troups in Afghanistan.
If anyone feels the same, do you have any ideas on how to really get our voices heard on this latest "campaign stunt"…… (AGAIN!) on Letterman tonight? I'm sure he'll need to have a press conference to tell us how great he was on the show!
The question is how many parents are aware their child’s union teacher has been providing material support to those willing and able to abet child prostitution?
UNION FREE AND PROUD!!………I hate unions, always have and always will. And this proves just how corrupt they are.
Jimmy Hoffa found that out, didnt he?
AG Holder is one of the problems in the system. He'll only pursue "social justice" which does not bode well for people living in the real world.
I say we do a march on Washington DC bigger than the one on Sept 12th. I'm not employed and trying to live off my investments but I would be willing to sacrifice for a trip to Washington DC. I don't know what it's going to take to get this government in order, but if we keep showing up in mass maybe, just maybe, they will start to see that we are not going to stand for this anymore.
I worked in a school also and was threatened by the principal. He was crazy and abusive to the students. Well I went to HR with my Union Steward and needless to say, the outcome within a year was my termination. But his luck ran out when he went too far with someone when they didn't have any choice but to fire him.
I can't believe what some of those teachers got by with and the good, dedicated ones were kicked around. Unions are no good.
I say we stage a sit in, in Washington. Everyone gather on the Mall and stay there until the government listens to and acknowledges us.
Obama and his cronies were talking about how the special interests were in control when Bush was president. HELL, they are just as much in bed with the special interests as anyone!! And this proves that!
Guess it is time for the citizens to clean up this mess…
Hey, these torches will also get the "Climate Change" eco-mentalists riled up. Bonus!
This is par for the course for obama and the pelosi led socialist democrats who have infiltrated our government.
We must fight the passage of any of their commie agenda and then boot these non american's out of office in the next election.
One term…..UNPAID….No retirement benefits…..No Medical after you leave.
Congressmen used to put their lives on hold and SERVE in Congress. After their term was complete they would go back to their business/work that they left.
What would the weasles in today's Congress go back to? The only job many of those worthless scum ever had was …… Congressman.
Can I carry two torches!?
I don't get furious about that anymore. There's not much we can do about it other than keep protesting the issues. Obama goes on these shows because he really does believe that he's a member of the Hollywood elite. He's a star dammit! Just ask the poparazzi; MSNBC, NBC, CNN, ABC, CBS.
[...] Here is an interesting report on the ACORN/SEIU connection at BigGovernment. [...]
Well, because ACORN as a tax-exempt organization isn't allowed to do those things.
How much more evidence do we need that ACORN needs to be taken down?! This is ridiculous!
That's why we homeschoolers call it "government school."
The truth is scarier than fiction. What is certainly apparent is a multiprong action in diverting public funds to futher enable and profit Obama and the DNC, not only without care to ethics (like ACORN), but without care to law. Not only in passive subjectivity, but in an all out affront to actively create properganda and deceit through the use of manipulation.
I thank Breitbart and crew for remaining vigilant and exposing these stories, because no one else seems to care to despite the clamour of the people to hear it out.
Thank God I live in a right to work state. The corruption is everywhere throughout this country. I pray it can be cleaned up before we lose our country.
Before Washington, Operation can you hear us now. Check it out at http://www.operationcanyouhearusnow.com.
This is what we put up with here in my town – She's a city councilwoman – two DUI's in the same yr – on involving a wreck and injury of a child – If I say anything aganist her I'm a racists. She is a a joke to this community. ANd they keep voitng her back in …. We've probably have @ least 5 government officials in jail right now for corruption.

Bohemond, I was under the same impression as you, but ACORN is not a tax-exempt organization. However many if not all of it's subsidiaries are.
But that's the problem. ACORN and its 300+ letterhead frontgroups are "structured as a criminal enterprise", a shell game designed for laundering taxpayer and tax-exempt money to prohibited uses.
