ACORN Again

UPDATE: A reminder--Soren Dayton looked at this last fall--Is Obama connected to the ACORN-Rathke embezzlement scandal? This goes back to how he funded his Congressional run in 1999-2000. We know SEIU and ACORN are still joined at the hip.***

Michelle Malkin has key email exchange between ACORN whistleblower Anita Moncrief and the NY Times reporter who spiked the story before the election. 

And Caught red-handed, or should we say blue--supposedly non-partisan (a 501(c) (3)  ACORN internal memo reveals they're in the tank for the Dems. What a surprise. O'Reilly talks to CEO and self-described "chief organizer". This is where Barack Obama got his start. And he used them for his campaign, which continues to this day. Video: 

P.S. To summarize, from the Heidelbaugh testimony:
 Conclusions:

1. Project Vote should be investigated and audited by the IRS to ascertain whether
Project Vote should be allowed to maintain its 501(c)(3) tax exempt status, based on the apparent
misappropriation of charitable contributions for impermissible purposes.

2. Based on the testimony, Project Vote, ACORN and other ACORN affiliated entities
illegally coordinated activities with the Obama presidential campaign, converting the
expenditures by Project Vote, ACORN and ACORN affiliated entities to illegal, excessive
corporate contributions to the Obama presidential campaign, in violation of federal law.

3. Voter Registration Fraud. The Department of Justice should immediately undertake a
nationwide review of the fraudulent activities of ACORN and its affiliated entities to stop the
ongoing illegal ACORN voter registration AND get-out-the-vote efforts. As is evident from the
testimony, these are not isolated cases; rather, this is a nationwide scheme to fraudulently register
voters, which registrations are then converted into actual votes under the ‘official’ Money for the
Muscle program at ACORN and its affiliated entities. Further, the witness testimony clearly
suggests that ACORN officials knew or should have known of the substantial registration fraud
that was occurring and therefore willfully denied, deflected and dissembled regarding their
knowledge, acceptance and ongoing perpetration of this fraud.

4. The Department of Justice and the FBI should immediately investigate the ‘Muscle for
Money’ shakedown activities of ACORN and its affiliates, and should prosecute individuals
responsible for the extortion of the targeted companies and individuals.

5. ACORN and its affiliated entities should be audited immediately and all government
funds to ACORN halted until every penny of taxpayer dollars to ACORN and its 175 entities and
affiliates are properly accounted for.
At this point they are still in line for $8 billion in stimulus funds, and still slated to do the Census. Congressman Steve King (R-IA) is pushing for an investigation by the Judiciary Committee.
