If this doesn’t terrify you, we don’t know what will, because when we read this, a chill ran up our spines the way we only thought happened to people in movies.
Literally, this shakes us to the core.
The current administration wants to give domestic terrorist organization ACORN $8 BILLION.
Previously, ACORN had only scammed $53 million from the federal government, between 1994-2008.
And that $53 million was enough to organize massive widespread voter fraud, intimidation, and other unsavory enterprises during the 2008 primaries and general election on behalf of longtime ACORN accomplice and benefactor, Dr. Utopia.
Just imagine what a domestic terrorist organization like ACORN can do to subvert and dismantle democracy with $8 BILLION.
Average Americans across the country need to get into the ACORN monitoring business. We need to set up a plan of attack to bring ACORN down, and make sure that once it’s defeated, that it just doesn’t rebuild under a different name. We’re at a critical juncture with this, because if ACORN gets that $8 billion, it will be here to stay, and would have the resources and army it needs to become Dr. Utopia’s well-funded, unstoppable goon squad.
If ACORN is not stopped, America is doomed.
We just don’t see how we can ever have a free and fair election in this country again if domestic terrorists in business to defraud the electoral system are funded with more money than they ever previously dreamed of.
Elections have consequences people: electing Dr. Utopia means funneling our national treasure into the coffers of the unsavory characters he has long embraced.
And the scariest thing is that this all feels like just the tip of the iceberg.
What can we all do together to stop it? Ideas needed, please.

What you need is an insider to gather data and prove they are the scumbags we all know they are. Likely not best to be a white male, but rather someone who can pull off the “disaffected consumer” who feels they were “disrespected” and “discriminated against” when they were turned down for a loan.
It needs to be done legally, quietly, and professionally. For my money, Fitzgerald should run the show; he is high enough profile that he shouldn’t have to worry about the Messiah (if the Messiah tried to counter it by removing Fitzgerald from office it would look like he was worried about Rezko).

Good suggestion. But, I am willing to claim right now that the gutless wonders in our nation will be too afraid to start any investigation, lest they be called racists. It’s the “R” card that gets pulled repeatedly. In the past, it’s just “political” to bring charges. Now, it’s “racial.” I am not feeling optimistic…

I think today Beck is going to have former ACORN workers on his show. They’re ready to sing, but no one else is listening to them. I think he said they’re all African Americans (yay! heroes!). Beck’s been on a tirade against ACORN, so that’s good.
I’m not sure what’s happening with Dr. Long and her data on ACORN and caucus fraud, since she’s been ill. I’m hoping someone else will pick up where she left off.

I caught some of his TV show last night. I hope he will stay on them.
May 8, 2009 at 10:21 am
thank goodness this is being pursued and I hope they never, never let up.

I’m not so sure about Fitzgerald. What’s he done but take down Blago, who was, for dems, inconveniently nutty and expensive to deal with.

ACORN really scares me. I am not sure we can do anything because the top nut is in the White House.
BUT. . . today we can take our mind off of all of this crap for a few minutes (some of you) or longer (more of you).
Please go to http://www.tinyurl.com/orh5k3 to read about this celebration!
I plan on being ‘distracted’ for a long time! Maybe many times!!!

I can finally understand your literary allusion after watching the old movie, “Make Mine Freedom,” on youtube in which Dr. Utopia makes an appearance in the Dramatis personæ.

Also, back in the primeval time when I was a dem, I was dutifully outraged by the firing of the US attorneys by the administration. Then I got over it since I learned they serve at the pleasure of the administration anyway, but still didn’t like it.
Do you realize and recall that the administration wanted the US attorneys to focus on voting fraud prosecution and the failure to pursue this and other priorities was the reason given for the firings, though no reason need be given?
Talk about missed opportunity.

Wow, I thought that I was just posting a link. I wasn’t expecting that the video would become embedded.

Yesterday when I read this it got me thinking
“At least one lawmaker, Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-MN, wants to stop the flow of tax dollars to ACORN, but House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank, D-MA, stands in her way.
Frank plans to strip out an anti-ACORN provision Bachman succeeded in inserting in the proposed Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act that could be voted on by the House today or Thursday.
Bahmann’s amendment was unanimously approved by Frank’s committee in a voice vote last week. It would block organizations that have been indicted for voter registration or vote fraud from receiving housing counseling grants and legal assistance grants.
The Bachman prohibition would apply only to the proposed mortgage reform legislation, and would not change ACORN’s ability to receive funds under either the stimulus program or 2010 budget.”…
…
Frank plans to offer another amendment to the bill on the House floor that would allow non-profits that have been indicted to receive grants under the legislation so long as they have not been convicted.
Bachmann said Frank’s amendment would “eviscerate the meaning” of her original amendment.
“I am disturbed by how cavalierly Washington spends the taxpayers’ money,” Bachmann told The Examiner. “The new charges brought against ACORN this week in Nevada reaffirm my concern about giving taxpayer dollars to organizations that are repeatedly under criminal indictment. Last week, I asked: Whose side are we on, the taxpayer’s or ACORN’s?”
Does anyone know about this bill? it seems like a good place to start at least slowing down some of th emoney flow to ACORN (and of course Frank is stopping it)
Maybe we can try to get support for this bill and let our leg know THIS is very important to us and why? It would just be a baby stp, but at least its a step in the right direction.
May 8, 2009 at 12:07 pm
I wrote bill, but know it’s not and actual bill, just a part of the reform package, so there isn’t a number or something, but think it is a could thing to let our reps KNOW that we are paying attention and don’t want our tax dollars going to a group with a long history of voter fraud.
also we have to watch, because ACORN is a BIG umbrella so they like have it seem like a group has nothing to do with ACORN they are good, but infact they are one of the many many groups who all call the building in NOLA headquarters

This is sick, This is turning the country into a one party state.
Why should the Government pay these people 1 cent.

Glen Beck on the Fox cable channel will interview eight former Acorn associates today. Apparently,they are disgusted with the direction the agency has taken. It should be quite informatiive; Acorn must be
stopped!!

ACORN is a private organization, so anything to be done should probably be directed at the hand that feeds them.
What about a FOIA lawsuit on the fed to audit where the money is paid to? You wouldn’t expect 8 Billion to be deposited in ACORN’s Grand Cayman account in one lump sum, right? Rather, they’d pay out lumps of cash to certain contacts in Acorn’s organizations.
Then the money can’t disappear into a sinkhole, since ACORN is probably required to maintain some sort of reporting standards. Then follow the money.
Probably could do it with the 53 Million too, rather than waiting for the 8 Billion to be dispersed.
Course, I’m not a lawyer, I have no idea if that’d work. I’d just follow that Acorn shill to the nearest bar, get him drunk and wait for him flap his gums. He’s obviously a talker.

Big Oafs from little ACORNs grow.
