Go to Muckety.com,type in Acorn or Community Organizations International and click on map.(There are a lot more than what I got on my first try, but I haven’t played around with it a lot yet. )Others on FR are more expert than I am.
You could probably also type in Dale Rathke or Wade Rathke

I saw one that had the former law firm where M. Obama worked in Chicago and you wouldn’t believe the spider web it revealed of associations.

I would love to know if the couple doing all the undercover ACORN videos have any dirt on ACORN in Illinois.

I think the term “ACORN” should not be used anymore.
It should be “the 300+ organizations of the ACORN web”, or something similar.

Politicians love the loopholes. Let’s close them.

Being able to say “we have not sent a dime to ACORN” is meaningless.

Being able to say “we have not sent a dime to the 300+ organizations of the ACORN web” might actually mean something.

Just thinking RICO here.
+++++++++++

Good thoughts. We need to use this phrasing in our discussions with our circles and in our letter/email writing..

Thanks.

I was on Mukety.com the other day.

Let’s see if I can get a permanent link(s) on that.

I don’t think so, but I’ll try.

Ok, I came up with these results. Important Disclaimer: This is a search on the word “ACORN” only.

“Good thoughts. We need to use this phrasing in our discussions with our circles and in our letter/email writing..”

Well thank you my FRiend. And along those lines...

It begins. Robert Gibbs keeps his comments to “ACORN”. ONLY ACORN!!!

http://www.politico.com/politico44/perm/0909/gibbs_vs_acorn_497f1d7b-b91c-481a-a438-6027d3ba82c5.html

Perhaps a smoother way of stating it would be...

“ACORN and its front groups”

“ACORN and its complex web of affiliates”

“ACORN and its myriad of associated corporations”

“ACORN and its 300+ spin-offs”

“ACORN, its affiliates, and its successor corporations”

“ACORN and whatever it changes its name to to avoid prosecution”

One of the Alinsky tactics is to go after individuals rather than Corporations. That is why the left so fears leaderless opposition. There is no one individual you can take down to stop the opposition. That is why 9/12 is so hard to comprehend for them. Hundreds of thousands of like minded self-sufficient independent Americans thinking for themselves? How can that possibly be?

Good night SB, and God Bless America.

This is a query “Acorn” + “funds from 2000-2007” + “detail” on Fedspending.org:

Every State GOPer who has the power to investigate ACORN in their state should do so immediately.

That'd be the governor, then.

I thought something similar. Palin appears to be solidifying the conservative base of the party while Romney seems to have the establishment on his side. Pawlenty is basically in third place at the moment and trying to get some of their support while finding his own niche. He’s also been very critical of Obamacare.

The milquetoast thinks he has a shot at the presidency. I say to him, take a hike, you stiff.

Our Tea Party Patriots group in the western suburbs of Illinois is calling Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office and asking her if she has started an investigation into Illinois ACORN/affiliates as yet, and if not, why not. Madigan’s office number is 217-782-1090, if others would like to join in.

Might be an idea that FReepers in other states can apply.

Awesome!

The only thing I noticed is the chart lacks a connection that should be between Obama and Project Vote.

The NNDB charts can be updated by anyone, much like wikipedia.
