Democrats just can't stay away from ACORN. Even as scandal piles on top of scandal, they continue to embrace the organization.

Corvington and ACORN have quite the history as Matthew Vadum notes:

They will continue to attempt to get as much money from the government as they can prior to the Mid-Terms. After the Mid-Term elections, they will most likely be cut off.

Yeah where is the MSM on reporting Obama’s formation of NACORN while the country suffers. Volunteer links on the page= are such bull volunteer because you don’t have a job and are living in your car as we all will soon be if this fool goes on.

Exactly but the question is will they steal the elections with rides to vote for Obama with a free lap top driving state to state voting for him? I don’t think they could organize for the Mass. Special election. They are organizing now for an Obama win, revolt or not.

President Proposes Budget Increase for National Service

On February 1, President Obama released his Fiscal Year 2011 budget request for the Corporation for National and Community Service. The $1.4 billion request will strengthen our nation’s volunteer sector, foster innovation and civic engagement, and mobilize more than six million Americans to solve critical problems through national service.

Isn’t this the group who will...As Bo’s wife said, “Demand we serve”...and Rahm said would “require” all citizens to perform a certain amount of “service” to the nation..even senior citizens?

Actually, no. At least not in the picture in one of the links I sent. He was part of a package of 26-27 or so nominees for varius posts, and they were passed en mass.

One way to trim the budget is cut all government workers by 10% per year.

This is the only hiring going on in our current economy. More taxpayer’s dollars going into a black hole.

Barry is the boss, he can have anyone hired that he likes.

Just 35 months to go.

Looks like they hired 135,000 people to find people work? and even pay for relocation, food, childcare, rent etc. etc. etc .

Two people I’m aware of both decided to return to school...both went to same classes and often studied together. One paid her own way...the other paid by Americorp...Both passed those classes.

status to date...the one who paid for her own classes has now gone on to get her degree and is working in the field of which those classes prepared her for. The Ameri-corp gal continues to turn down solid job offers and remains working at a retail store...excuses every opportunity offered her.
