ACORN and friends diagram of the day

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 29, 2009 12:19 PM

On Fox & Friends this morning, I discussed the expiring House and Senate bans on ACORN funding that GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann has been warning about all month. Byron York has a good backgrounder here.

Whatever happens, the daunting reality is that ACORN and its vast network of affiliates continue to spend and shuffle untold millions of tax dollars in ways that subvert tax and campaign finance laws. And as I noted earlier this week, ACORN’s Siamese twin, the SEIU, is leading a new corporate shakedown campaign with a huge new list of ACORN-style subsidiaries.

Andrew Marcus further illuminates ACORN’s Working Family of Democratic Socialists. Print, save, and pass around today’s chart of the day:

This is the network to which NY-23 radical leftist Republican Dede Scozzafava and her supporters have hitched their trailer.

    Looks more like a spider web to me. Which certainly does nothing to detract from it’s desired effect…

    It looks like the cellular structure one sees in an insurgency. More than just a coincidence.

    This is a very “illuminating” chart, but it needs some enhancements…

    1) Add a direct connection between ACORN and the Working Families Party.

    Bertha Lewis (yes, the same Bertha Lewis who has been on TV so much and lied about what happened when James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles visited ACORN’s Philadelphia office) that Bertha Lewis is both CEO of ACORN and co-chairperson of the Working Families Party.

    Remember the president of NY NOW telling us she wanted to see lots of red flags at the March for Women’s Lives. And the chair of ACORN and Working Families Party who called upon us as family to make our contribution known. Did we respond? YES, we responded!

    Got that?

    Bertha Lewis, the chair of ACORN and Working Families Party, called upon the Communist Party USA to “make their contribution known”.

    And the Communist Party USA responded.

    As you said this morning on Fox Michelle, acorn has webs in hundreds of different originations. They have some that are tax exempted so as to give our tax money for the d’s running for office. Seiu is as horrible as acorn.

    As it stands, the diagram seems to indicate that everything flows through TIDES, so much so that even Obama reports to/takes orders from it. That may be true (though I would have put Obamao at the center and TIDES on the Hexagon of Power), but I would like some clarification on that point. Have we been missing something crucial with our focus on the ACORN\SEIU\Obama axis of evil? Or have I just misread the diagram?

    3) Add George Soros and John McCain to that chart.

    In 2001, McCain founded the Alexandria, Va.-based Reform Institute as a vehicle to receive funding from George Soros’ Open Society Institute and Teresa Heinz Kerry’s Tides Foundation and several other prominent non-profit organizations.

    It’s easy to get the poor to believe in socialism since it takes no talent to demand handouts. All roads connect back to BHO. When all this unravels, he will be caught in the web.

    Watch Glenn Beck at 4:00 (central time) TODAY, as he will be revealing the connections of all of these, and more. If you can’t watch then, it repeats during the night. TIVO it. You shouldn’t miss this very informative broadcast. Also, tomorrow, he will have Lord Montford (I think that is his name?) and Ambassadore John Bolton on.

    all these groups grew out of the initial communist party which grew in the northeast in the 1900-1940s. labor unions, gubmint redistribution of wealth through the income tax, progressives. and they rose to power and destroyed anyone who called them out ie sen mccarthy. it’s not the party, but the fact that these people control the media, control the education system of this country, and control the courts. NO JUSTICE, NO VOICE, AND INDOCTRINATION OF THE YOUNG.

    put dear leader in the middle and tie him to everything….done…we are toast if this continues….we might as well shoot ourselves or pack the bags (what little you’ll be allowed to take since the rest will be taken from you to give to those who have to have your possessions) or stand up and take your country back…your choice America!!! you can’t raise everybody to the same level…it hasn’t worked at any time in history and certainly won’t work now….at least for long….

    I would have put SEIU and ACORN together. That would leave room for either George Soros or the Communist Party.

    Hope is not a plan; not all change is good. WE are the civilian national security force! Silencing your enemies is the action of a tyrant. Attempting to silence your enemies is the action of a wannabe tyrant. The resistance is here; the resistance is now! RESIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Michelle stay on top of this as it is vital we id as many of these front groups as possible

    Many actual working people do not have the time to do this research and to be able to see it all laid out here is invaluable

    And as for Newt, it is clear that he has comprised his once conservative ideals for the valueless left

    Newt, Don’t let the door hit you, where the good lord split ya

    There was a long list of front groups in this post:
    SEIU leads new banking shakedown campaign

    From the SEIU’s “Big Banks” attack site, here’s a list of the shakedown collaborators:

    * A New Way Forward
    * Action Now
    * AFL-CIO
    * Albany Park Neighborhood Council
    * Alliance to Develop Power (ADP)
    * Americans for Fairness in Lending
    * Americans for Financial Reform
    * ARISE Chicago
    * Brighton Park Neighborhood Council
    * Central Illinois Organizing Project (CIOP)
    * Center for Community Change (CCC)
    * Change in Terms
    * Change To Win
    * Chicago Coalition of the Homeless
    * Citizen Action
    * Communities United for Action (CUFA)
    * Community Voices Heard (CVH)
    * Contra Costa Interfaith Supporting Community Organization (CCISCO)
    * Gender Just Metanoia Centers, Inc.
    * Grassroots Collaborative
    * Green Party of Nevada
    * Fuerza Laboral/Power of Workers
    * Housing Action Illinois
    * Illinois Alliance for Retired Americans
    * Illinois Hunger Coalition
    * Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement
    * Jane Addams Senior Caucus
    * Jobs with Justice
    * Michigan People’s Action (MPA)
    * MoveOn
    * Northside Action and Justice
    * Northside POWER
    * Northwest Bronx Community & Clergy Coalition
    * National People’s Action
    * People Organized for West Side Renewal (POWER)
    * PUSH Buffalo
    * Right to the City Alliance
    * Rights for All People (RAP)
    * Roomdad Productions
    * SEIU Illinois State Council
    * SEIU Local 1
    * SOUL
    * South Austin Coalition Community Council (SACCC)
    * Sunflower Community Action
    * Syracuse United Neighbors (SUN)
    * Teach Our Children (TOC)
    * UE
    * UCLA Undergraduate Students Association
    * Workers United
    * Working In Neighborhoods (WIN)

    In my opinion, the list of the shakedown collaborators is a list of Communist front organizations.

    “Fairness” to us is equality of opportunity.

    “Fairness” to them is equality of results.

    Socialist and Communist societies promise, but never actually produce, “equality” and “fairness”… only the “useful idiots” fall for that lie…

    I worked in downtown LA yesterday. Even the guy at the parking lot entrance could not speak English to tell me where to park.

    Over the whole area loomed a huge sign on a building that read SEIU-UHW. They are organizing health care workers to build their Chavista revolution. It is SEIU nation down there.
