REFERENCE Since 1989, at least $53 million federal tax dollars went to ACORN and its branches. Congress is moving to cutoff fundng after the video sting (but tax dollars continue to roll into ACORN). Congress should go further, and rescind ACORN'S tax-exempt status.

ITEM New Orleans is one of ACORN'S three national hdq located at 2609 Canal St. and 2610 Iberville St, New Orleans. (Washington, DC, and NYC are the other two).

ITEM Now Louisiana AG Bobby Caldwell has subpoenaed ACORN, former ACORN head Wade Rathke, and the group's bank, Whitney Bank.......seeking information back to 1998 on ACORN and some 361 tax-exempt and non-tax-exempt outfits in its universe.

ITEM At the Orleans Parish Clerk of Courts Office, a Sept. 3 IRS filing showed that "Elysian Fields Corp, Inc, (Alter Ego of ACORN)" skipped 5 quarterly withholding-tax payments -- for income, Soc/Sec and Medicare levies in 2005-08, and made no federal unemployment-tax payments for the fourth quarters of 2007 and 2008.

ACORN runs a cabal of tax-exempt, non-profits (which the IRS has designated as the locus classicus for money laundering and tax evasion). We need to put ACORN'S liberal tax-exempt, non-profit groups under the IRS microscope.
