The Crooks at ACORN

Commingled funds at a minimum--taxpayer monies meant for non-partisan activity went for GOTV for Democrats. Whistleblower Anita Moncrief testifies at House hearings. Yid with Lid.

More. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), TAS. A World Without ACORN. On the need to defund ACORN:

But has ACORN really carved out a monopoly on assisting the poor, registering voters, and empowering the powerless? Do poor Americans have nowhere else to turn but a nationwide syndicate of criminal miscreants, prostitution consultants, and bogus voter registrants masquerading as community organizers?

Of course not, and the facts bear this out.

Defunding ACORN does not create a void in services available to homeowners in need of counseling and other support.

Why give them more money to funnel into politics and deprive the poor of real help? So far President Obama is hiding behind Eric Holder's skirts--no doubt keeping his number one White House guest Andy Stern's SEIU sweet as a beneficiary of the ACORN fund-shifting.
