Taxpayer funded Serve.gov filtering activists to Acorn
big government ^ | 9/18 | Dana Loesch

The Obama Administration has placed a large premium on what it calls “national service.” It has launched a website, www.Serve.gov, that is reported to act as a clearing house for Americans eager to “give back” to their communities. Unfortunately, Americans looking for an opportunity to volunteer may get something they weren’t expecting.

By typing “ACORN” into the search field entitled “What interests you” at Serve.gov, you’re transported to allforgood.org where you can choose from a list of volunteer opportunities, including “healthcare activist.” This particular “volunteer” opportunity is with the Tuscon ACORN office:

I wish Breitbart would make his headlines so you could copy and paste them. I can’t do it with IE or Firefox.

Anyway...Acorn has already taken this down...

So Serve.gov filters you to Acorn where you can get a job as a Healthcare activist. However, reporter says

“They’re unclear regarding financial reimbursement; though past recruitment, like the Craigslist ads in St. Louis, advertised for “paid progressive activists, $90 a day, call Lorna 314-732-0131.”

Thanks for posting. According to the comments Serve.gov has already pulled the info from their site.

Thanks to Dana Loesch and Andrew Breitbart. OUTSTANDING!

United Way gives YOUR money to ACORN too. And many other liberal organizations just like them.

The caliber of people that this will attract won’t be activists unless they are paid. Otherwise they wouldn’t need to pay them, right? I don’t think they will get many “volunteers”without it!

Thank you, I try! I didn’t think this way, until I saw how low they will go, they stop at nothing. It makes for a much more balanced fight, don’t you think?

Turning their own tactics against them is stunning them. As long as it is legal, I say do it.

You are right, it seems to get them off balance. I think Alinsky never thought about defense, onl.y offense. I think that’s why they don’t seem to know how to fight this. Defending criminality really doesn’t seem to be working.
