From a written statement issued by national ACORN spokesman Kevin Whelan:
The ACORN Association Board met on Sunday March 21 and approved a set of steps to responsibly manage the process of bringing its operations to a close over the coming months. These include:
* Closing ACORN’s remaining state affiliates and field offices by April 1st; and
* Developing a plan to resolve all outstanding debts, obligations and other issues.
ACORN’s members have a great deal to be proud of—from promoting to homeownership to helping rebuild New Orleans, from raising wages to winning safer streets, from training community leaders to promoting voter participation—ACORN members have worked hard to create stronger to communities, a more inclusive democracy, and a more just nation.
Interesting, in a related story a new Community Advocacy group has formed: NROCA.
ACORN will rise out of the ashes in another incarnation to do Satan’s work.
Something fishy about that. Too easy.
They will be back under a new name and organization. Same mission.
I suspect they are not really going away, too much money involved. A quick name-change. Congress allocated lots of cash to these guys, it will still go somewhere.
Plus, look at all the mortgages they issued, someone must carry those now.
Looks like a trick.
I doubt it, they will just keep shadow groups going, while putting on a new ‘face’. And don’t forget they will probably be getting billions to rig the November vote of bho.
If you believe that, I've got some land on a bayou to sell you - cheap.
Didnt I read the other day that the president restored acorns funding or soon will ?? ...
Maybe this is one office somewhere ...
..the name ACORN has disappeared,not the snakes running it. They just got their government handouts returned to them...???
what crook is going to turn down an Odumbo payoff?
what a joke...scam artists do this all the time...just change the name...keep the game.
“from training community leaders to...”
...help set up underage prostitution rings...
Notice the Date is April Fools Day.
Meanwhile the secretary of state project has had a frightening amount of sucess and taken 11 of the 13 SOS offices they’ve sought.
TRANSLATION: We’re going to change our name.
