Initially, the only thing I see wrong with your article is the headline. There is no MAY REORGANIZE about it! They have already reopened in 3 states under new names. Henceforth there will not be one name nationwide. The new, camoflaged ACORN, will operate under a different name in each state in which they reopen.
Here is an excerpt from LA Times, alluding to ACORN’s reemergence in New York and California. While not mentioned by LAT, they have already reopened in one of the midwestern states, as well.

Correct. See for yourself... "Formerly ACORN"
Would that midwestern state be Missouri?
From today’s local rag - http://www.stltoday.com/news/editorial
A confrontational, “direct-action” approach to activism characterized ACORN initiatives. Organizers say that approach probably will get sharper and more effective in the post-ACORN era, especially toward corporate abuses and public policies that have wrought misery on the disenfranchised.
A new organization called Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment announced its intention to stage a 100-person demonstration this afternoon at the Bank of America to protest foreclosures. Its members will pitch tents downtown for a “people’s settlement.”
- MORE of the same. (sigh)
Yep, by reorganizing under many different names it will make it more difficult to keep tabs on their criminal acts.

COI = COA
MAY???? MAY????....uh WILL!! They are Bammy’s VOTER FRAUD ARM along with UNIONS!!
A comment from an unnamed source inside ACORN said that although the board has decided to disband, they are reorganizing under new names. This was confirmed by Iowa Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), a long-time critic of ACORN: “I don’t think we’re done with this. This is a big step in the right direction because I believe they are a corrupt, criminal enterprise.”
For instance, in New York City the ACORN office now has a new sign: “New York Communities for Change.” In Massachusetts, the “new” ACORN group, called “New England United for Justice” lists Maude Hurd as its president, the same Maude Hurd who serves as president for ACORN itself. Matthew Vadum, an investigator for the Capital Research Center, points out that ACORN Housing has changed its name to Affordable Housing Centers of America, Inc., and other ACORN-connected groups include Arkansas Community Organizations, Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, and Missourians for Reform Empowerment. “This is a trick, a public relations trick to dupe Congress and the American people to think they have gone away and that have not,” says Vadum. “The same people are running the new chapters that have sprung up and in some cases, out of the same offices.”
Consequently, the death of ACORN has, unfortunately, been greatly exaggerated
They've already renamed themselves in Little Rock. Instead of ACORN, they are now ACO. Original, huh? Now it will be extra hard to keep track of them with the name change and all......../s.
Do not celebrate or be fooled. This group of charlatans and race hustlers WILL reform under some new name.
Former first chapter of ACORN mourns passing of national group
Several state chapters broke ties with the national organization this year, including Arkansas ACORN, now known as Arkansas Community Organizations, or ACO.
“I think it’s sad,” said Neal Sealy, executive director of ACO. “We hate to see this happen. I certainly had hoped that a remnant of ACORN would survive to keep fighting in the courts, because ACORN is being vindicated.”
Sealy said ACO hopes to carry on the community-organizing work formerly done by the ACORN chapter, but in new and innovative ways.

They can call it whatever they want. The leopard will not change its spots.
I think they are still being funded on the sly by Obama the gestapo WITH OUR TAX PAYER MONEY.
Of course they will reform under a new name. DUH!!!
They will not go away, they continue to grow
They and illegal insurgent criminal invading aliens will decide all future major elections unless something is done about it
The GOP for years has not contested blatantly stolen elections.
The better get on the stick
“May Reform Under New Name”
WE’RE WATCHING. And listening. And some of us may be taping! Mind your Ps and Qs!!
They may re-form, but they will never reform.
Smoke and mirrors. This is such B.S.
Either TARP or the Stimulus bill guaranteed ACORN billions of dollars late this year or next year.
They are dumping their debt, so they can maximize the dollars when they get them.
Not one store front will close it’s doors, or perhaps this IS just about one store front. And it will open under a new name within days.
I believe every word of your post but I believe the name on every store front will change.
Amen to that!
