Members of Congress heard testimony against the activist group ACORN on Thursday, exposing the group's illegal activity and mafia-style tactics.
Pittsburgh lawyer Heather Heidelbaugh appeared before the a House Judiciary subcommittee alleging that the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has violated campaign finance and tax laws in addition to their protest-for-hire and coerced donations. The source of the accusations was from the sworn testimony of ACORN whistleblower Anita MonCrief, who was a clerk for ACORN's sister organization called Project Vote.
MonCrief, a Democrat and Obama supporter, testified last year that Barack Obama's campaign gave Project Vote a "donor list" of people who had contributed the maximum amount allowed by federal law. According to Heidelbaugh's testimony, the donors were to be targeted to donate to ACORN's "Get Out the Vote" efforts and finance voter registration drives.
Heidelbaugh revealed in her testimony that there is virtually no separation between ACORN and Project Vote, as employees working for one group would perform work for the other.

ACORN is the beginning of Obama’s civilian Army. Look to see who they are comprised of.
These whack left brown shirts have thrown elections all over the country. In Washington State Dino Rossi (R) had Chris Gregoire (D) beat in the governors race on the first ballot count by 261 votes triggering an automatic machine recount. The secretary of state certified the result of the machine recount, making Rossi the winner by 42 votes. The Democratic Party requested and paid for a statewide hand recount. Gregoire won that by 129 votes.
On Jan 7,2005 Rossi sued in Chelan County Superior Court, alleging that errors and illegal votes deprived voters of their constitutional right to a “free and fair election.”
Gregoire is sworn in despite Republican lawmakers’ attempts to stop the inauguration.
And to no ones shock, Judge John Bridges rules the election should stand. He rejects, one by one, Republicans’ claims that Gregoire’s victory was due to errors, illegal votes or fraud. Up 261 to down 129. All those extra votes were found in King County by ACORN for Gregoire. The election should have been investigated by the F.B.I. but wasn’t.....
The fix was in when the Democratic Party got its request for a hand recount. What a joke! ACORN’s stinking hands were all over the recount.
That's your tax money given to them by this corrupt congress.
I'll bet most of the 'activists' with ACORN receive some type of government money individualy.
And yet none of this will matter as their “volunteers” are taking the 2010 Census. Ladies and gentlemen, the 2010 midterms at the state, federal, and local level are culminating in a “perfect storm”. If the GOP doesn’t take back as many state legislative bodies, governorships, and Congressional seats as possible, it may not matter if Obama is defeated in 2012. The time is NOW.
I hate to be cynical but we shouldn’t expect much from these Bozos.
I just saw this on someone's blog . Sickening.
acorn needs to be broken, everyone associated with it needs to be barred from any election related activities for life.
Prolly the democrats will do the right thing. For the Republic, donchaknow.
ACORN was busted big time in King County, WA. They were even forced to pay $25,000 and sign something saying they would have to behave for 5 years OR ELSE.
Out of 1800 votes in 2007. ONLY 6 WERE LEGITIMATE.
Our side needs an ACORN.
ACOTN activities should be fully investiugated with regard to the Minnesota race between Coleman and Franken. I smell two rats in that state and it’s ACORN and Franken!
Yeah, Congress will do a lot of flapping around for show (like they did with AIG) all the while behind the scenes patting them on the back and funneling money their way.
Check out the Victory Institute’s intelligence report on ACORN. The report is still under development, so check back in a few minutes - an update is underway. Continually adding new intelligence as we conduct our research.

Yes, to the tune of $4.2 BILLION in the porkulus bill passed and signed in February with the help of Sphincter, SuziQ Collins and SnowJob. They are also regularly funded through the budget via grant money and housing projects, among others. WE ARE PAYING for the destruction of our country.
“Do you have ACORN questions? I have ACORN answers. Much more intelligence forthcoming at FSM.”
I have one question. Why aren’t all the ACORN leaders and the politicians who enable them in jail?
As I tell my kids, every time you see Brian Willians or Katie Couric or Charles Gibson, you are looking at journalistic fraud.
If anyone would like to help the Victory Institute investigate ACORN, please visit our website at http://www.crushingchris.com/vi/vihome.html or feel free to send me a message.
I want to know if ACORN had any ties to those protesters in Oakland. I couldn’t read the signs that they were carrying, but the word, International something or other was at the bottom of the signs. Who was paying for that protest?
Once we put all of the evidence together and present it, that’s when we ask your question. Then, Washington and ACORN can’t avoid it, they can’t wiggle out of it. They will have to own up to it and take action, or risk problems they can’t afford with the American people.
Government can’t get away with doing things that ‘We the People’ can’t get away with. When we break the law, we go to jail. ACORN and the government’s involvement in it is illegal as can be. Until now they have gotten away with it.
THIS is where WE put pressure not only on our own CongressCritters, but also, and not as an afterthought, on Chairman Michael Steele.
The GOP ought, should, needs to be PRO ACTIVE in any political arena where the laws are being broken and The Constitution is being ignored!!!
WE The People are the employers of Them The Politicians.
Sounds like a I need to make a new sign for my yard.
I just filled out the Questionnaire from Chairman Steele, and I did NOT donate. He has to prove that he’s worth it first.
The print on that photo had me looking three times before I realized it did NOT say Barack Obama God the first family.
