The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (Acorn) has repeatedly and deliberately engaged in systemic fraud," begins the report. "Both structurally and operationally, Acorn hides behind a paper wall of nonprofit corporate protections to conceal a criminal conspiracy on the part of its directors, to launder federal money in order to pursue a partisan political agenda and to manipulate the American public."
Mr. Issa is the ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and the report goes on to note that "since 1994, more than $53 million in federal funds have been pumped into Acorn, and under the Obama Administration, Acorn stands to receive a whopping $8.5 billion in stimulus funds.
White House trying to distance themselves from the criminal activities of ACORN? They better. That's what we get for electing a crooked Chicago pol.
Days after the Census Bureau announced it would cut ties with the organizing group ACORN, and barely 24 hours after the ...
... Senate voted to withdraw funding from the lightning-rod activist group, the White House expressed support for measures to hold the group accountable for "unacceptable" behavior.
Wow, you just responded to yourself 3 times..
Anyway, i can fully support getting rid of ACORN if you support illegal war crime investigations and investigations into the swift boaters.
How ironic that a Wall street rag wants to investigate criminal acts.

Murder and prostitution by an ACORN employee:
Yesterday BigGovernment.com published videos from a fourth Acorn office visit by freelance investigators James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles. The woman manning the Acorn office in San Bernardino, Calif., Tresa Kaelke, responds to the pair's requests for help setting up a child-prostitution ring by claiming to be an ex-prostitute herself. "Heidi Fleiss is my hero!" she exclaims.
When Giles claims her former pimp abused her, Kaelke tells of having been abused by an ex-husband--then confesses to his premeditated murder.
Obama is toast!
