Still means we should be appreciative of his taking this step!
Its a start...but somebody please explain to me how this prevents a stolen election November 4th. I am pretty sure 0bama’s thugs already stole the nomination from Hillary.
Since there may be a statute of limitations on some Federal crimes, how about expanding the probe into Federal elections for the last few years to prosecute fraudulent voter registration and fraudulent voting.
Don’t give up. Never surrender. Never stop fighting.
Without lines of credit for businesses, you, me, and the USA would instantly fold. Lines of credit are how businesses operate.
The bailout sucked. The home owners should not be given anything. But some sort of bail out had to happen and happen quick. My company is in lock down mode and we are in the robust energy industry. Without lines of credit nothing moves forward.
I agree. There needs to be an immediate cease and desist order placed on ACORN, all the forms they have turned in need to be impounded, and their assets need to be frozen. The problem of fraud is so massive that only a strong national stand can be taken to restore any hope of a fair election.
Let no good act go unrewarded... or sumthin’.
I hear ya tho.
It won’t happen. The Bush administration won’t do it.
SEN CORNYN SEEKS NATIONWIDE CRIMINAL PROBE OF ACORN

The GOP is playing this very well. Keep it up, Pubbies!!

=========================================
MODUS OPERANDI L/E authorities need to determine whether ACORN colluded in multiple schemes, whether ACORN used ID theft in donation schemes for favored candidates. ACORN had at its disposal numerous names that could have been employed in various ID theft operations to fuether its political goals.
Moreover, ACORN may have solicited donors who are officers of publicly-held companies to manipulate publicly-reported earnings through a variety of devices designed to produce materially false and misleading financial results.
Authorities need to determine whether ACORN colluded with its donors---particularly donors who are officers of publicly-held companies-----in schemes that may have included (1) misusing corporate reserve accounts, (2) concealing losses, (3) inflating asset values, (4) improperly accounting for transactions, (5) deferring profits into reserve accounts, (6) improperly shifting capital funding to other projects to hide illegal payments to ACORN. ACORN donors may have fraudulently booked contributions as business expenses.
ACORN may have employed money-laundering schemes to evade the IRS, SEC, FEC and US banking laws. Classic money-laundering schemes work like this: ACORN might solicit a donor to write a check for say $150,000. ACORN would then deposit a percentage for itself, then illegally convert the remainder to another account----perhaps to a putative “consultant, administrative, or legal” account.
In the transaction, the donor’s money would be fraudulently converted, then redeposited offshore (in a friendly foreign bank), where the donor would have access to the funds out of sight of IRS, SEC, and US banking laws.
In another conversion scheme, ACORN might solicit donors to write checks for $50,000, then deposit the check into a subsidiary bank account labeled “legal or administration fees.” The bank would then illegally convert the monies and redeposit them into a campaign account (designated by ACORN) out of sight of the FEC.
Authorities need to determine whether ACORN and its corporate donors violated state and federal RICO statutes by participating in (1) securities fraud, (2) mail fraud (3) computer tampering (4)electronic fraud, (5) computer trespass, (6) theft, (7) accounting fraud, (8) co-opting donors into criminal acts, (9) failing to report wrongdoing (10) breach of fiduciary duty (11) receiving insider information, (12) filing false documents, (13) creating slush funds, (14) manipulating inventories, and, (15) improperly valuing assets.
Yeah, I remember reading how Washington at Valley Forge said, “Mother of God, it’s freezing! I’m outta here.”
Yes, and let me just add, "well, duh."
There’s always hope. The first step is somebody willing to take a stand against evil.
Yes, thank you.
I understand. But, if all of the Republicans who voted for the bailout were to come out in support of Cronyn here it might give them a little breathing room with their constituents.
Thank you, Senator Cornyn, for doing what is right. McCain needs to get Obama talking about this tomorrow night.
Where is that idiot Bush? Where the hell is the Federal Government???
