Delaware Official: ACORN Illegally Lobbying in State
by PubliusAs part of House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Ranking Member Darrell Issa’s (R-CA) ongoing investigation into the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now’s (ACORN) lobbying and election activities, the Delaware State Public Integrity Commission responded to a letter of inquiry sent by Issa revealing that “no person has ever registered to represent any of the ACORN affiliates identified in the Committee’s letter” and that after being notified that a “lobbyist must register” they had yet to do so while still engaging in lobbying activities.
12-11-09 Deleware State Public Integrity Commission Letter to Issa – ACORN Deleware Lobbying –
The Public Integrity Commission has subsequently sent a certified letter to Delaware ACORN “stating that the law provides that the Public Integrity Commission can refer suspected violations of the lobbying law to the Attorney General for investigation and prosecution. The matter will be on the Commission’s agenda for its December 15, 2009 meeting.”
“After being notified of their failures to adhere to state lobbying laws, Delaware ACORN has ignored state law while still engaging in lobbying activities,” Issa said. “This is another example of ACORN’s blatant disregard for the law. ACORN continues to submit fraudulent filings while failing to abide by the lobbying and election rules while claiming to be a community organization that operates within the boundaries of the law – nothing could be further from the truth.”

Acorn honestly thinks they can do as they damn well please because they elected BHO. Cease and desist orders need to be issued followed by stiff fines and criminal charges. Only when you can get a couple dozen of these fools into prison for 5 to 15 years will the idiots start being law abiding. Also, under Rico can't they be 100% shut down forever?
I would love to see Bertha living under the Feds control and working in the laundry! REAL WORK
Does anyone really expect ACORN to abide by the rules? Someone in Delaware will care their old friend, B. Obama and he will vouch for them.
I am certain that will see Scott Levenson on tv soon defending ACON's actions.
I'm pretty sure that Joe Biden has already called and put the squelch on the public integrity commission … most transparent administration ever.
Apparently the message they are getting from their handlers in the democratic party is that's is business as usual.
Obama – "Law, I am the LAW!"
Understand that attitude and you will understand the attitude of every Leftist group perfectly.
Sheriff Joe Biden should have plenty of time to corral these illegal lobbyists operating in his home state.
It's not like his time is being taken up cracking down on stimulus waste and abuse.
Sic 'em Issa!

Or thinking
Does anyone honestly believe the AG will do a blessed thing about this?
Obama lied about curtailing lobbyists. He actually liberated them. Anything goes.
With the White House making ACORN cookies there is no doubt this adminstration is up to it's neck in crooket deals. Jan. 26 we finally get to see Obama's Birth Certificate. I am not a birther but I hope and pray he doesn't have one! We are in a world of hurt and this guy is driving us over the cliff.
Great! Another $25,000 tax-payer money being wasted on another $500 fine from ACORN. Representative Issa needs an ethics review and a mental exam. Wasting this much tax money and being this insanely obsessive over ACORN Derangement Syndrome for what, to cater to the 329 people in this country dumb enough to actually care about ACORN? Ridiculous!!!
Representative Issa, how about explaining this:

and this:
http://www.calitics.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=6962
and this:
"A firm called Young Political Majors, which was hired by the California Republican Party to register voters, is being investigated for improperly registering voters as Republicans by leading them to believe they were signing petitions calling for harsher treatment of child molesters. The firm received $7 to $12 for every person it registered as a Republican.
The owner of the firm, Mark Jacoby, was also arrested this month on felony charges of voter registration fraud and perjury after officials say they discovered that he had fraudulently registered himself at a California address where he didn’t live in order to qualify to register other California voters.
The California Republican Party reportedly also paid $175,000 for voter registration efforts to a Republican operative who had been investigated for voter registration fraud in several states."

Hey Syn, thanks for proving Glenn Beck's point, they all a bunch of crooks and D.C. needs an enema real bad, especially now. BTW your links are broke or the reports you refer to are taken down.
Seriously, if your going to make accusations please use links that actually work.
Simple answer, NO.
Our USAG has no intention of doing his job. Nor do many state AG/Prosecutors, they are too kissing butt to do anything useful. I have some other choice words to describe my opinion about the current state of our courts but I've already been blocked out by a moderator once today,
I wouldn't call it a waste of money. Obama did call for "Transparency" in Washington DC.

Do you have a link?
You're right, spending $25k to fine ACORN $500. I suggest fining ACORN $787billion.
Forget talk about "cease and desist" letters and AG investigations. It is obvious the law is being broken, now. The proper response is a swarm of Delaware State Police troopers descending on them, stopping the activity, and seizing all their records for a proper police investigation.
With something this blatant they have to pussyfoot around with political investigations? They are lobbying without being registered, like driving a car that isn't registered, or a driver without a license. Call in the troopers, impound Delaware ACORN.

Side note: "Pussy" (posted here with "u" in italics) is on the Intense Debate blocked words list for BG.
The cats are not amused.
The law is in the way? That is not an issue with ACORN, just an issue with there paperwork.
"Nothing to see here, we are just trying to help people get the house they so deserve… move along"
ROFL!!, don't want to offend the kitties eh? Sorry, that made me smile. ; )
yea saw that one on Michelle Malkin's site…digusting….we need to start with a clean slate and rid ourselves of all these libtard judges and politicians…our founding fathers are turning in their graves at what has been done and is being done to this country….we are doomed if this continues….crooks rigging elections, illegals getting more rights than citizens, the list goes one….wake up America you still have a very short time to retake your nation back from these scumbags!!!
Never mind, I came across it all by myself!

This made me feel a little but better, hope it works for y'all
A man walked into a very high-tech bar and noticed the bartender was a robot. The robot clicked and asked, what will you have?”
A martini please. The robot clicked and mixed the best martini he had ever had.
The robot then asked, What is your IQ? The man answered about 164
The robot then proceeded to discuss the ‘theory of relativity’, ‘inter-steller space travel’, etc…….
The man was impressed. He left the bar but thought he would try a different tact. He returned and took a seat. Again the robot clicked and asked what he would have? A Martini please. Again it was superb. The robot again asked what is your IQ?
This time he said, about 100. So the robot started discussing Nascar, basketball scores, and the Dodgers.
The guy had to try it one more time. Again a martini, and the question, “What is your IQ?”?
This time the man drawled out “Uh..bout 50″. The robot clicked, leaned close and slowly asked,
“A-r-e y-o-u- p-e-o-p-l-e h-a-p-p-y w-i-t-h O-B-A-M-A ??
Great, Stacey.
Nice try pinhead. Links that don't work and quotes ripped from an unidentified lefty rag. Dolts like you need to realize that all acts like this originate from petty crime and then morph into much larger, all encompassing problems. Get off the Democrat vs. Republican kool-aid. It's boring and unaligned with your leaders' vision of hope, unity and change. Oh, I forgot – that was just a pledge in the first campaign. Like all lefties you just keep on protecting the abusive actions of ACORN and SEIU and see where that gets you. My guess is nowhere, which won't probably bother you as it appears you may already be there!
Google it pinhead. Enough said.
I apologize for the broken links. Google it.
Syn,
Grow up!
How about we bring both organizations under investigation?
Or shall we continue with the "status quo"? You know, where we only investigate those who oppose us.
By your reasoning, we should've continue to look the other way while ACORN can continue to make a mockery out of the electoral system and tax payer money. It's that thought pattern, hear me, on both the left and the right that started the tea party movement. But, if get your information spoonfed from a Soros sock puppet, well, I can understand the intelligence gap. Try this; Do what's right.
Kadaka, great comment! In Deleware would the State Police call the local ACORN office to let them know the time and place they will be showing up to conduct that raid? If so, you might want to make sure they check the dumpster while there.

Obama and Congress and Soros have to have their slush fund.
Being from Delaware and knowing the socialist bent of this state, nothing these liberals do surprises me AT ALL. The previous governor actually tried to have the state named changed to "Francois II"
You're a nitwit, Syntax, you really are. In what way are they equivalent? Acorn is being investigated for and/or accused of fraudulent voter registration forms, vote rigging, illegally accepting federal funds while posing as a non-profit, money laundering, embezzlement, fraud, racketeering, etc. They were granted over $4 billion in the stimulus bill and are considered the money laundering and vote rigging arm of the Democrat Party. But of course to a lib like you, lying, stealing, cheating and rigging elections is just par for the course, isn't it? After all, the ends justifies the means, doesn't it? You're just one of Stalin's "useful idiots."
Why is it unconstitutional to defund an organization that is posing as a non-profit to collect government funds, but is actually laundering those funds in order to elect Democrats?
Hold on, I gotta catch my breath.. don't know whether to laugh or shrug or cry. The rule of law has been a joke for decades now, since when was Rico going to be used to deal with criminal democrat organizations? Not under Eric Holder's watch! He's the guy that decided not to prosecute Black Panther thugs for voter intimidation, and bring KSM to NY for a civilian trial. And the state media has spun it in his favor, even using fake polls and denigrating protesters in NY.
So clearly they can do whatever they want. Who is going to make them follow their own laws?? You think they care about the new media?? After all the beating we've been giving them, they don't care!! The state media won't report this boring story. Republican leaders might say something, but they won't raise a stink and the state run media won't report it. Obama isn't going to say anything. The courts won't need to get involved.
I MEAN COME ON THE DEMOCRATS ARE RADICALIZED AND THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THE HECK THEY WANT!! This is not America right now. This nation has BEEN TAKEN OVER by a socialist tyranny. Think Stalin. Stalin did whatever he wanted. And so will Obama. Till we make him a lame duck in 2010, and take our country back!!
Course that means defeating his army: ACORN.
Thank you, sir, for your reply, and even greater thanks for the great service you have performed for our country!
Here is the Snope version. Sorry I was jet lagged out yesterday. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthers/car...
Makes me understand why Obama skipped the concert and lunch with the king at the NO Bell party. Nah I would have been there! Obama they have these pills called Caffine to keep you awake for these events but with your connections to ACORN you may be able to get something stonger!
geez, ACORN up to no good– illegally lobbying– not to mention the fact that PresBO said all lobbying would end under his admin.– guessing you can add that one to the list of things that Holder won't investigate–
Just to let you know, Bo Biden, son of our dimwit V.P Joe Biden, is the Attorney General in the State of Delaware.
No action here, friends.
chip off the old blockhead?

The American Heritage Dictionary defines Treason as….
1. a violation of allegiance toward one's country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one's country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies.
And
2. A betrayal of trust or confidence.
Obama and his Czars are guilty of both and should have to stand trial.
All government agency do that , do you think that IRS says "oh we are spending to much money going after petty tax cheats" No Way
get in the real world!
vote the traitors out.
BHO is the hood in the neighborhood, lie, cheat, steal is who they are…ACORN
Accused by who? Investigated by who? Bloggers? Who gives a crap about a handful of dimwitted bloggers and their commentators regurgitating the same accusations over and over and over and over again. Droning the same tired old tune over and over and over again like somehow the majority of America is suddenly going to care about this petty s##t. ACORN Derangement Syndrome…it's REQUIRED that YOU have it! Not the rest of us. Indoctrinated minds need to be obedient, not the rest of us.
Lots of gibberish in your comment but isn't time for you obedient loyalists to start asking your lord opinion generators for evidence? Proof of these accusations you keep on regurgitating? It's the only way you're ever going to get more than 325 people to actually give a crap about ACORN.
Until then, have a cookie.

SEUI uses all kinds of warm fuzzy sounding names for unregistered lobbyist. Flll in the name of any state.
State for Health Security, Food Security, Housing Security. Check your states SOS site to find the group, then check the registered lobbyist list. You will find these warm fuzzy named groups are all back 100% by the SEIU, they pay the director and the director of said warm fuzzy group is paid very well as the director of the agency and often they are "organizers" for other state SEIU locals and paid fifty to one hundred grand by other locals.
They ply the statehouses begging for more and more funding so they can hire more and more union state workers. Small wonder the states are going broke. Government needs to get out of charity work. There is no end to the good works the SEIU can come up with to hire more union workers and bleed the states for more and more funding.
Why do you spend so much time defending ACORN? You protest too much methinks.
His handlers got carried away believing their own publicity creation and thought he might be untouched by human stuff like jet lag and they couldn't even get him to stand up for those events. Bet he looked the same landing there as he did standing in the door of #1 when he landed here from his Asia trip. That pic was soooo funny. "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words" should have been the caption.
No no no, these lovely folks don't belong in prison, they need to be executed for alll these crimes (climategate, Acorn, wasting/stealing billions upon billions of tax payers dollars) including thousands upon thousands of crimes in the past, extra, extra. They are responsible for thousands of crimes. These are the scum of this country. They must die after a long trial. They are responsible for decadent decline of america and the better part of the world. The only correct way to deal we these socialist liberals is to peramnently eleminate them, that's what they have planed for most of us!
You seem like a nice practical guy Dennis.
I tend to agree with Dennis or what ever your name is. Remember, these socialist Democrate/ liberals are in bed with the terrorist, they probably got them started and are the real terrorist behind all the unrest in the world pulling the strings and fiancing these guys. Everyone seems to under esitmate liberal/democrates. They are to enemy of freedom and have been ploting for decades to over throw america and then the rest of the free world. The word is MUTTS plain and simple.
You're right. Looks like ACORN never needed defending since they won everything back so easily and, AND new court cases and new business ties with new banks. They never needed defending ever. Talk about too big to fail.
I believe i do understand only too well. The time for discusions are over. Time to stop playing their game and go aftr these poeple?
Dennis is not my real name, just one i am using theses days, but thanks.
Is u crazy naggs? Is U ?
12 Days of Crisis (condensed version)

Twelve illegals running,
Eleven lefties griping,
Ten scientists a-leaping,
Nine Bwarnys prancing,
Eight czars a-bilking,
Seven seas a-warming,
Six banks a-bailing,
Five CBO accountings,
Four ACORN turds,
Three Maoist dems,
Two SEIU thugs,
And a Kenyan family tree!

This is a “racist” comment, suggesting that a person with the qualifications of the head of ACORN should merit a clerical job in the slammer but should be relegated to grunt work in the laundry room.
Sorry for the omission. it should read"
This is a "racist" comment, suggesting that a person with the qualifications of the head of ACORN should NOT merit a clerical job in the slammer but should be relegated to grunt work in the laundry room.
Corruption abounds from the top down to the bottom. It's the ones in charge.
Funding ACORN is un-Constitutional. Show me where in the Constitution is says the American tax payer has to support a community organization? Hell, SS is un-Constitutional as well as Medicare and Medicaid and Welfare for that matter. The only way to stop all this BS is to get the traitors out of DC. Charges should be brought up on any one who signed their name to an un-Constitutional piece of legislation – ANY ONE!
Why doesn't BigGovernment report the biggest news story in America that is going unreported? The biggest news story is the CODE of SILENCE that is being exercised by the MSM and government regarding the genuine MASS CONSPIRACY which prevents any open discussion or debate about ARTICLE 2 SECTION 1 of the U.S. Constitution as it pertains to Barack Oabama who is an illegal President! Folks we are not even allowed to just simply talk about it!
That's news! That's the truth! But Tiger Wood's sexcapade's are more important than a violation of the U.S. Constitution!
Obies brown shirts… Or red shirts. Either way or both, these brain dead people must be legally stopped.
the commucrats have done a pretty good job inserting their shills into about every state's AG office, so that they can steal elections and do whatever they bloody well please with total impunity.
Up here in Maine video evidence was presented of a 12 pass. van from a state university going around one election day to about 36 polling places where all the useful idiots got out and voted at each one. Our corrupt commie AG of course could not be bothered.
Laws only apply to us "little people", don't you know?
I find it amazing that with such overt corruption of law, communities have not filled the void with "Vigilance Committees" and just started summarily stringing the bad guys up.
ACORN is in obvious violation of RICO, and I could quote you chapter and verse… but hold not thy breath for anyone to investigate them on it.
Note that it took a couple of brave college kids to give us a glimpse under ACORN's rock to begin with – those responsible and paid for doing that sort of thing of course had other more important things to do – like persecuting Christians and Border Patrol Agents, perhaps.
Do you have any doubt that ACORN will be out in force to steal the 2010 elections – with total impunity… again?
What is a patriotic Citizen (or group of Citizens) to do if they catch a domestic enemy trying to steal our Freedom, by the way? Call 911? Ask them politely to stop?
…just curious.
