Outrage!... Dem's Stimulus Bill Allows $8.5 Billion in Taxpayer Money For ACORN
ACORN is the largest radical Leftist group in America today. This radical group worked closely with the Obama campaign during the election. But, the community organizing group was not open about this. The photo below was scrubbed from the ACORN website before the election:
One of Barack Obama's first big "community organizer" jobs involved ACORN in 1992. Obama also trained ACORN employees. He represented ACORN in court. Obama worked with and protested with ACORN. His campaign donated $800,000 to ACORN this year for voter registration efforts. And, ACORN even canvassed for Obama this year.
It looks like ACORN's hard work paid off. Democrats funneled $8.5 billion of taxpayer money to the corrupt ACORN Organization this year. Investor's Business Daily reported:
Corruption: A nonprofit group committing a crime conjures up images of terrorist fundraising. But $8.5 billion in taxpayer money may go to specialists in political terror: the tax-exempt scam artists of Acorn.
Did Democrats come to their present dominance of both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington thanks in large part to a "syndicate of tax-exempt organizations" that "has coordinated and implemented a nationwide strategy of tax fraud, racketeering, money-laundering and manipulating the American electorate"?
The reams of evidence provided by House Oversight and Government Reform Committee ranking Republican Darrell Issa of California and his GOP colleagues on the panel strongly suggest so.
Their more-than-80-page report charges that the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (Acorn) uses "a complex structure designed to conceal illegal activities" — 361 different entities in 120 cities, 43 states and the District of Columbia, amounting to a "shell game" that "diverts taxpayer and tax-exempt monies into partisan political activities."

The group has over the last 15 years received in excess of $53 million in federal funds. Moreover, as the report warns, "under the Obama administration, Acorn stands to receive a whopping $8.5 billion in available stimulus funds."
Three Five Zero Zero
But ACORN is dirty, dirty, dirty!! I’m sure some enterprising young man or woman could dig a little bit and connect ACORNS dirty dots to union honchos and Democrat bigwigs. That $8.5bil in blow money could come back to haunt them just about, oh, 2012.
This administration is so corrupt and has done, and is doing so much to harm this country it’s almost unreal. It’s like we’re living in a nightmare. I keep thinking, this can’t be happening, people won’t allow it. Is there ANY democrats who care more for this country then the “party?”
I have (a lot of us have) signed so many petitions, sent so many emails, made so many phones calls, and I wake up and he is still president. The nightmare continues.
2012 can’t get here soon enough.
