ACORN Watch: New whistleblower affidavits
The Consumers Rights League continues to expose the shady dealings of Barack Obama’s old friends at ACORN. And we’ll continue to keep the spotlight on them. As I continue to remind you:
It’s your money!
Details from CRL:
The Consumers Rights League has published a collection of whistleblower documents that suggest “consumer advocacy” group ACORN has reaped substantial financial gains by misusing taxpayer dollars for political ends. These internal emails and policies suggest that ACORN has failed to maintain a proper distinction between its tax-exempt housing work and its aggressive political activities.
Now, The Consumers Rights League (CRL) has released newly obtained affidavits from former ACORN and Acorn Housing Corporation (AHC) employees that attest to ACORN and AHC’s illegal practices of using taxpayer dollars to fund political activity. The evidence continues to mount and now with these whistleblowers’ offer to help, Congress must act.
The new affidavits are here and here from former ACORN employees who detail the shared funding between ACORN and AHC.

Meanwhile, ACORN’s busy bullying mortgage firms in Arizona.
Just a reminder: You can thank President Bush for putting more public tax dollars in ACORN’s coffers. As I reported before, there’s $230 million in “mortgage counseling” money in the housing bill Bush signed this week that will go to ACORN and other left-wing groups.
Thanks for nothing, President Bush.

It wasnt a housing bailout it was an democratic party bailout
“Thanks for nothing, President
BushHoover.”No, they won’t.
Dontcha know that you’re a “whistleblower” only if you’re trying to take down people who are politically correct targets (a la Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year” back in 2002)?
Exposing a donkey front organization is by definition *not* “whistleblowing.” It’s “being a rat.”
And expecting a donkey-controlled Congress to move against a donkey front organization is pure wishful thinking.
HEH – how true. The real kicker is their talk about ethics. Comedy gold (if it didn’t hurt the average American so much).
No; Congress won’t act. At least not THIS Congress.
Nancy Pelosi is too busy saving the planet.
Screw congress. Shouldn’t the FBI be in on this? Multiple states involved…crossing state lines…fraud? Something? Anything?
I wish they had a different name, from acorns grow mighty oaks, not worthless lying cheating voter fraud scumbags.
Somehow I get the picture that illegals are getting the benefits.
“mortgage counseling” *snort* the only ‘counseling’ they deserve is in the form of a kick in the backside.
I sat in on a meeting where a BofA rep was telling people how to defraud the Feds to get ACORN loans. “The income level for your household can’t be over XX, so don’t include any income over that. They don’t check. This is a snap.” It was remarkable, and troubling.

Every time I hear/read the name ACORN I lament the damage done to the democratic process by the same such and the complicity of the Democratic Party and the courts in Washington State. They corrupt all they touch much to the glee of political power taken from the people and given to the Democrats. They mostly get caught for a penny worth for pounds of damage. That damage is then mitigated by the Democrats and their subsequent election victories. If ACORN has been at work in your state color it blue (do the Republicans/RNC care).
Can see some of ACORN at work on video at my site
Posted this before but if some missed it
And a special thanks to all the other republicans who failed to block these measures. They are useless, one and all.
“Congress must act.” Naaaa, I am thinking more like the Dept. of Justice, (but it will never happen)Congress is a willing accomplice.
Will Obama get handcuffed in the next 90 days?
Paging Senator Stevens for an opinion.
Obama is having trouble in Florida Black Protestors get shouted down. Obama tells them to vote for someone else? Really?
