Sweet Mother of Pearl that's a pretty picture!
YES!
Just read that dear leader is on his way the NO to talk about Katrina.
I know the area and the building.
I'll bid TWO DOLLARS USD, cash.
If they pay for the fumigation.

A going out of business sale I am all for.
ACORN moved out of that place a while ago. They’re still in New Orleans. HQ just moved to Canal Street.
I hate to see people lose their jobs over the actions of a terribly misguided, deceitful, deviant company. Those employees deserve better. I hope they find it. And the plantation style owners, the Rathke’s, get their due justice.
That's CHANGE I believe in!
Is Canal Street closer to the Gulf of Mexico? Hope so. Less distance to haul the trash for dumping!
Not trying to spam. 2609 Canal Street, New Orleans, to be exact.
We need pictures of the new location, GPS coordinates too, with address.
No difference than the government wanting GPS coordinates of my Front Door.
I believe is the little white building w/a boarded up window: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=2609+cana...
Just looked up address ,2609 Canal Street, New Orleans,, using Google Earth.
The building is big enough to hold at least 1000 shell companies.
Just wonder if SEIU is sharing the Space?????? (someone should check out the tenants in the building, and who is on what floor. Maybe Obama has a penthouse suite. HA HA
I’d buy it, then I’d rip those letters down….BURN THEM, and then have it completely remodeled…..including the removal of any remaining RATS and other VERMIN that may still be inside.
There are entirely too many Senators and Congressmen dependent on ACORN's hoodwinkery for votes.
I shall not dance in the streets until ACORN stops being a factor in partisan election fraud, and in subprime mortgage extortions, and in SEIU thuggery. That's not all they do (I think supporting underage whorehouses is just a small part of the business), but they have so many fronts and branches that the closing of one building is only a reason to ask, "where have they gone now?"
Quite likely there's a huge war chest in some Swiss bank, and George Soros is always good for more. The war's just started.
If I would be looking for a new location for my business, I would never move in where Acorn & SEIU previously owned or rented…
Tear the place down… put up a grave market "The Head of Acorn is Buried Here"
Soooo, where did they move too?
Two things hit my psychologist eyes. One is the bars on the doors and windows. One of their slogans is building safe neighborhoods or safety. Apparently that has failed. The trust of the people they serve must be proven to be missiong. Bars on a building tell a story of suspicious people inside. Crooks think others are like them and willl break into their workplace. Enemies? Oops. Tht tells us about ACORNS culture.
If Rathke is trying to raise some cash and hide it, when this building sells, at closing they will have tax liens to cover from the proceeds first. They have a priority. A title company will disclose tax liens and what is left for proceeds goes to ACORN after payment of liens.
Same people. SEIU local and ACORN in that community are the same humans.
That's a fair start…
http://tinypic.com/r/15q9seh/4 << i believe this is the building.
You have to understand that the Google Street snaps were taken not too long after Katrina, so you're going to see a lot of for sale signs and whatnot.
other places in that building:
Harvey & Harvey (lawyers, they do a lot of class action suits)
Klotz & Early Law Firm
Life Changers Resource Center Inc ***
Loving Hearts Respite & Pca (home health care provider)
New Orleans Personal Injury
Oceanside Finance
Reid & Associates (insurance agency)
*** I can almost guarantee these guys work with ACORN.
and….
29.964736,-90.085949
YEPPERS ON SEIU LOCAL 100
SEIU is hand in glove with these crooks. I was in CSEA in California and dealt with them quite a bit. They are crooked also.
Actually, I would have rather seen them stay and drown during the next hurricane.
Actually, Canal Street is a good many miles from the Gulf of Mexico. The City of New Orleans does not sit on the coastline.
The building in the picture is on Elysian Fields (Avenue, I think) in New Orleans. Acorn has moved to Canal Street.
If they move in my neighborhood, I’ll be sure and send them an eviction notice
Hope he brings along his portable paper shredder.
This sounds like the time he went to Hawaii to see his dying grandmother for a day at the height of the Birth Certificate brouhaha.
The federal and state tax liens on ACORN are also a nice touch.
I don't trust them to be gone for a minute. I think ACORN is just changing it's name and disguising itself better. They're not going to quit scamming for one second.
Hell yes. This pic is worth a BILLION words. One down, a bazillion more to go, but at least we're on our way. Thank GOD for Big Government.com, Hannah and James!
If the nuts at ACORN hold a yard sale, or garage sale, will the new Federal Regulations apply? Will the Feds regulate the sale, will there be government "minders" there to check for any lead paint, or goods made in China?
Something tells me that no one from ACORN will be breaking in to THIS building and "reclaiming" it as their own.
It sure does, doesn't it? Reckon he pulled the plug on his aged Granny?
Ya never know. Those bruthas and muthas sho does get aggressive when boxed into a corner.
I see yer bid and lower it to a buck fifty!
Shocking article from Canadian Free Press:
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/1539...
"Can America Survive?"
"These vital questions all lead up to the really big question: Can America survive until November of 2010 at which time this president can be muted by removing his liberal brethren and sisters from the U.S. Congress?"
Naw, just gave her a blue pill.
Friday’s announcement of a 263,000 increase in US joblessness…
Now, is the the total amount of ACORN workers???
It should read……BROTHEL FOR SALE
After all, thats what ACON is all about
The canal street building is for sale, too.
the beginning of the end for a hidden enemy of the people……..
Way to go! Dang, you guys did what the Republicans and some Democrats in Congress were unable to do with your videos. Everyone, contribute to the legal defense funds NOW!

We need to watch closely to see where the cockroaches scramble. Keep the pressure on, BG!
In NO they just throw the bags right in the street next to the curb for the garbage guys to collect. Really strange place.
Love the picture. I'm afraid it's just a cover, they may drop ACORN, but everything behind ACORN is still there. Guys, I happened upon a confusing and badly organized diary at dailykos.com where a blogger is apparently trying to track down leads on the Working Families Party. She had a couple of old leads from a Manhattan paper called cityhallnews.com. Not the greatest in reporting, but the paper had at least three articles about WFP, pointing out the web-like structure of WFB and other organizations where the shell-game is used to hide money, and possibly politicians recieving money frm WFP. Haven't had time to try to find more on this. Also, call or write your Senators and Reps. and push for a RICO investigation of ACORN. It's important to call the pols that you support, but call the ones you don't like, too. Let them know that you expect them to speak up for your viewpoint, too. It's easy to write a letter to a pol you like or agree with (or maybe at least you can write them withou flaming them), but we need to put pressure on the opposition, too. Neither Dems or Repubs have done their jobs in DC.
How many front groups are registered at that address?
Just google the address and you will see the many many front groups HQ'd there.
The stink finally moved on my tax dollars. I'd this stuff keeps up congress won't have a retirement left. By the way isn't their retirement like a bonus? Let's call on the banking zar to take it away. Besides when you have millions you don't need that kinda bonus.
That's crap unless they give the money from the sale of that building to the US Taxpayer! We bought the damned thing!
Interesting article about "Devil Wade" Rathke and ACORN, from July 2009, prior to the ACORN scandal….
http://spectator.org/archives/2009/07/16/wrathful...
What Rathke doesn't explain is that President Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress made it much easier a few months ago for those like him who want to overload the system in order to bring about its demise.
Sweet justice. Was it a foreclosure?
Wrathful Wade Rathke….I like it, makes him sound like the sinister creep he is.
The rats are scattering now, aren't they?
The check for the sale of that said building should be addressed to : The People of the United States of America.
To get back all the $$$$ that was stolen from us because of that corruption headquarters.
Yes a picture that I myself
just loves to see.
can we see more of those that would be a "BLOCK BUSTER"
what's the chance they are doing this to avoid discovery?
Word just made it to the rest of the ACORN offices of the shutdown in New Orleans.
People are moving……
Chicago, Baltimore, DC, Philadelphia.

We should oficially request CON-gress to sanction that as the official ACORN Song.

I am no psychologist, but I have always said, people judge you by their standards.
You're so correct. Rats have a huge series of tunnels. Got exits and entrances everywhere. Nail up one hole and they just use another. You have to get rid of the RATS, not the tunnels.
Any holes in the back yard where they dug up the tin can? With these guys it would be a barrel sized hole.
Help ME ! I am having trouble deciding if this establishment was:
A HOUSE of cards or,
A HOUSE of ill repute….
Probably going underground. If known as ACORN – it is not likely to get direct Obama-Democrat funding. And to think that the Republicans I voted for over the past couple of decades were part of the fraud. Yes, Bush did it – and that's no lie or mis-representation. How many more organizations like ACORN are still alive and doing the devil's work? Good thing we have the FBI and state and local investigative organizations – outdone by two individuals with zero training. Eliminate the training in the budgets of those organizations. Maybe the results will be better. Politicians=accomplices.
Like Saturn (GM) ? Hows that Government take over going America ? Ford stock over $7 and GM is around .10 cents still….
Throw everyone out.
Congress is so deep in BED with theese folks .. I's like to see the day when most if not half of COngress were walked out in handcuffs….
They talk about CEO's greed … Look int he mirrr CONGRESS…. You are destroying what left of this country.
Zebras don’t change their stripes. These scam artist will simply ooze down the road and reemerge in another form. The only way to insure their demise many, many people need to go to jail, not likely with Eric Holder AG and Barry as President, we’ll see.
what was the second thing…"Two things hit my psychologist eyes" One was the bars…and what that means to you Two???
All this just to avoid discovery??
All this just to avoid discovery?? And what happens to SEIU??
American Police Force is a scam

The new organization to watch is called Community Organizers International. It's the new slush fund organization set up by Wade Rathke.
Well – now we know what they did with the Styrofoam Columns from The One's beatification ceremony.
The most evil spirits, as to category(s) is 66…Acdg to biblical teachings. .And this building needs a Grand Exorcism, before it's turned over to anyone….Or: maybe it could be used as evidence.
Well this should result in a 75% reduction in crime for New Orleans>
Don't expect anyone to be able to tear down this building. The wackos from the historic preservation society [or whatever they are called] won't let people tear down a pile of rubble. It is insane.

So the question is, is Rathke moving the business or is it "closing". I know that ACORN is "shuttering" in Florida however is the above photo of the new building? If so it looks like as big a crack house as the old place. Rathke and his minions are like cockroaches. And whats worse is that yeah we now have Mr. Sociopath Rathke on the record via FOX saying he isn't responsible for all of this, OK, we take him down but where did he get his money…..eventually the thread being unraveled will end up in the lap, of one George Soros. We need to follow the foriegn money to. I suspect Saudis, Chinese, etc. are up to their elbows. Someone needs to gut this organization and its sister entitys like Gorgo gutted Theron in 300. Watch the cash fall out and see whose face is on it…..
But, but, but I thought that little beyotch, Levenson said there were no layoffs coming! Was he lying? I don't believe it.
Oh, except that his mouth was open so by definition he was lying.

Hosted by Megyn Kelly
Fraud; corruption; undercover tapes — we brought it all to you.
Now, could ACORN face new scandals? It's our in-depth investigation.
Plus, for the first time, the founder of ACORN in an explosive interview.
Watch as Megyn Kelly hosts, "The Truth About ACORN." I was wondering if anybody has seen this on acorn. I think you can go to Foxnews.com and go to search put in acorn and watch it. You be the judge????
I think it is funny how people bite on half truths and misinformation. Acorn has moved so this picture just tells a few words. Bonzai journalism does this debate and nobody any good. If the right wants to win this debate … lets do it on facts and not on innuendo.
The amount of evidence that proves ACORN is a very corrupt organization is overwhelming.
For me, there’s no “half truth” or “misinformation” about it. They’ve been caught red handed and now they, and their defenders are running around like chickens with their heads cut off going “NO, NO, NO….Thats not the true face of ACORN…Those were just rogue employees!!” OH…but im afraid it IS the real face of ACORN, and theres no denying that. If you so deny it now, you might as well deny your own existence.
ACORN is now poster child for that old phrase……”Me think he doth protest too much”
Only one problem, Rathke is now with ACORN International.
I heard Representative William Jefferson bid $90,000.
Will people laid off from ACORN get unemployment insurance benefits?

This is beautiful. It gives me a new and glorious feeling that Jesus Christ is through with these liars and creeps. He loves us and he's here to stop the insanity. All Praise and Glory goes to Jesus our savior.
