Corporations that have given ACORN millions of dollars over the years are now cancelling their donations in the wake of videotape revelations of employees of the infamous community organizing giving advice on mortgage fraud, tax evasion, prostitution, and child sex slavery.
Bank of America is reviewing its grant program, while Citigroup is waiting for the results of on-going investigations. JP Morgan Chase had previously ended its relationship with ACORN.
Bank of America donated 28 grants totaling almost $3 million to ACORN Housing Corporation (AHC), since 2005, financial records show. A company spokesman said the activity exposed on videotape prompted the review.

ACORN didn’t have ‘corporate donors’ - just corporate victims of blackmail and extortion..

You know, when I read last year of the intention of Henry Paulson, obviously one of the financial overclass, to leave all of his money to left wing causes (what was it, environment?) , I really had to wonder where their heads are.

Isn’t the United Way on of their biggest donors?
To: gusopol3
I wonder if there is a comprehensive list of donors, so we completely dry up their souce of funding?

Yeah, I’ll bet there was a huge sigh of relief for a lot of companies when the videos came out.

I would associate the United Way with the left in all cases....6 months as a LE (Loaned Executive) was all I needed to figure out the obvious......

Of course BOA is renewing even amongst the corruption scandals of this anti-American communist organization - two peas in a pod.

"I would associate the United Way with the left in all cases...." Thats why I stopped giving to that pack of thieves more than 20 years ago.
And back in those days, it was madatory that your manager sat you down and extolled the virtues of United Way and pushed really hard for you to give your "fare share".
I told them thanks, but no thanks. I'll decide what my fair share is and who gets it.
I think it was maybe 10 or 12 years ago they stopped hounding people about it. I never even hear about it anymore except maybe for a blurb on the company website, or maybe an email, which I delete without reading.

Ewe - shades of MJ. How can you tell when it is bedtime at the neverland ranch? When the big hand is on the little hand...
I am annoyed that none of the news outlets are naming the major crime exposed in the tapes...Conspiracy to commit international trafficking of children for the purpose of sex slavery.
That is about as big a felony as they get.
And ACORN suing the film makers ... that is like the guy who parked the truck bomb under the WTC trying to get his deposit on the truck back.

United Way has ALWAYS been the worst in lots of ways. Why anyone would give a dime to them is beyond comprehension.

Amazing how much corruption in the US is endemic.
We are slightly more honest than Mexico.
But not much.

Obama is either speaking an empty word or speaking a lie. Truth never comes from his mouth.

Their leadership - starting with Obama and Ayers and Soros - needs to be listed out and tracked. All future organizations they become affiliated or hired onto need to be informed of their association with the criminal organization ACORN and they need to be watched carefully.
