The biggest story of the last couple of weeks would have to be the Acorn ( the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) scandal. Yes, you may have heard that dozens of Acorn employees have been indicted for voter registration fraud across the US. You may have heard that the brother of founder Wade Rathke was discovered to have embezzled almost a cool million from Acorn’s war chest; only to be bailed out by George Soros coughing up the cash to keep Rathke out of prison. You may know that the SEIU, the same union that sent union thugs to town hall meetings to intimidate stay at home mothers and senior citizens from opposing Obamacare, is closely tied to Acorn. You must have heard that Congress is in the process of cutting off funds to Acorn. Of course, the funds I’m talking about are our tax dollars. You see Acorn is a non-profit organization. They have received over fifty million dollars up to now, and were set to receive over EIGHT BILLION more from the stimulus package over the next several years. President Obama has had close ties to Acorn for years.
Well maybe you haven’t heard. You see none of the main stream media other than FOX has covered the story. For the past couple months twenty year old Hannah Giles, and twenty five year old James O’Keefe armed with a few thousand dollars , a video camera, and more journalistic smarts and integrity than CBS, NBC, CNN, and ABC combined, set up their own sting operation.
They uncovered the true nature of ACORN –. No problem with under age sex slaves, misuse of taxpayer funds, the condoning of other illegal activity, and its connections to Barack Obama. They will never win a Pulitzer prize, but they have shown all major news outlets what journalism used to be.
Barack Obama has denied serious involvement with ACORN. That’s curious, because if you go the the administrations newly launched website www.Serve.gov and typing “ACORN” into the search field entitled “What interests you”, you’re taken to allforgood.org where you can choose from a list of volunteer opportunities, including “health care activist.” This particular “volunteer” opportunity is with the Tuscon ACORN office. But hurry, I have a feeling this will become a dead link very soon.
