Outrage!… Dem’s Stimulus Bill Allows $8.5 Billion in Taxpayer Money For ACORN GATEWAY PUNDIT ACORN is the largest radical Leftist group in America today. This radical group worked closely with the Obama campaign during the election. But, the community organizing group was not open about this. One of Barack Obama’s first big “community organizer” jobs involved ACORN in 1992. Obama also trained ACORN employees. He represented ACORN in court. Obama worked with and protested with ACORN.

Today we’ll look at three wrinkles in the national dialogue — all grist for the mill of consciousness, examples of where we appear witless and brain dead in defense of our truest desires and fears. Problem is, all three are drags on the national energy and represent racist/elitist boondoggles. First, did you know there’s a difference between a birth certificate and a certificate of live birth?

Is it amazing how Obama and democrats want to clean up fraud in Washington? NOT! Give the crooks a pass, and don’t investigate them. That is the way democrats like to operate. You should be embarrassed to be a democrat allowing this type of corruption to exist, but that won’t happen, democrats always seem to justify breaking the law, as long as it’s in their favor.

Outsourcing: A love / hate relationship for U.S. I.T. professionals.  Ask the average employee in any I.T. organization, and hearing about fear of jobs going to India and China is almost unavoidable.  Although many have started the move toward business service management (BSM) to address the chaotic labor trends, I.T. labor itself still consumes over one-third of I.T. budgets.  This figure is perfectly in line with a recently published Gart ner report stating that 37% of the typical I.T.

The Community Organizer who has  been elected President of the United States was closely associated as a lawyer and as a trainer with ACORN,  a corrupt and criminal organization. He now wants to give it the power to manipulate the Census.    From Investor’s Business Daily: Did Democrats come to their present dominance of both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington thanks in large part to a “syndicate of tax-exempt organizations” that “has coordinated and implemented a nationwide strategy of tax fraud, racketeering, money-laundering and manipulating the American electorate”?

Washington Examiner: President Barack Obama, former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, Sen.

Community-Organized Crime By Matthew Vadum | The American Spectator The election fraud factory known as ACORN should be stripped of its jealously guarded tax-exempt status because it illegally spends taxpayer dollars on partisan activities, commits “systemic fraud,” and violates racketeering and election laws, according to a congressional report unveiled yesterday.

This defies logic, common sense, decency and responsibility in government. One of Barack Obama’s first big “community organizer” jobs involved ACORN in 1992. Obama also trained ACORN employees. He represented ACORN in court. Obama worked with and protested with ACORN. His campaign donated $800,000 to ACORN this year for voter registration efforts. And, ACORN even canvassed for Obama this year. It looks like ACORN’s hard work paid off. Democrats funneled $8.5 billion of taxpayer money to the corrupt ACORN Organization this year.

A new report issued by congressional Republicans alleges fraud and widespread political corruption in the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN. Listen to this podcast

A Fox News story reports that according to a new report from Republicans on a House oversight committee, ACORN engaged in a scheme to use taxpayer money to support a partisan political agenda. Do we really want this organization involved with the 2010 Census? The report, released Thursday, accuses ACORN of fraudulent activities and widespread corruption and calls for a criminal investigation into the advocacy group. It offers the first detailed account of the allegations that have dogged the organization in recent months.

Quite an unholy alliance. ACORN is the subject of an 88 page Congressional committee report , charged with fraud and political corruption: The executive summary of the report says ACORN provided contributions of financial and personnel resources to indicted former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown and candidate Obama, among others, in what the report calls a scheme to use taxpayer money to support a partisan political agenda, which would be a clear violation of numerous tax and election laws.

Republican members of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform have released a report on the criminal activities of ACORN.  It’s about stinking time. From Election Journal : This Report presents evidence that ACORN has evaded taxes, obstructed justice, engaged in racketeering, and created a conspiracy to defraud the United States.  The chapters read like a criminal indictment and grounds for a lawsuit by its shareholders – here’s some highlights: voter registration fraud

Cross-posted at Project Vote’s Voting Matters Blog This week Project Vote and the ACLU of Pennsylvania filed a lawsuit, on behalf of ACORN, against Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett and Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala, Jr. The purpose of the suit is to  keep the district attorney from filing a frivolous complaint alleging that ACORN’s method of retaining – not paying – canvassers was a violation of state law.

By Debbie Schlussel I’m all for publicizing the horrible Obama stimulus packages and budget and the crimes and abuses of ACORN. But why are Glenn Beck and Lou Dobbs promoting an open Hezbollah and Arafat-supporter to do it? Why are they promoting the man who claims that 9/11 was “just another plane crash”? Well, you’ll have to ask them and stop gushing over their pandering shows because today, both of them are featuring Republican Congressman Darrell Issa a/k/a Jihad Darrell on their show, despite his unabashed open support for Islamic terrorism–including Hezbollah, Syria’s Assads, and Arafat–and hatred for Israel and the Jews.

It\’s high time this story got some traction Contrary to the belief of Eric Holder, this nation is NOT comprised of Cowards. We KNOW the Justice Department IS. They dropped all charges against the Black Panthers who engaged in voter intimidation in Philadelphia on Election Day last year. I don’t see our Attorney General of his Justice Department bringing charges against the Communist Front Group known as ACORN, but I DO see how an investigation and the related publicity would be helpful to our cause.

From the dark side of the moon comes the astonishing news that ACORN/Project Vote AKA The Dead Voters Society, with the help of the ACLU, has filed a federal lawsuit against the Allegheny County [Pennsylvania] District Attorney, Stephen Zappala, who is prosecuting former ACORN employees for falsifying voter registration forms. The rhetorical flourish of the ACLU claims “that the law has been misapplied to prohibit an organization from using flexible productivity standards and goals to manage paid canvassers.” ACORN hopes the lawsuit will prevent criminal prosecution of its local leaders and office, which has been under investigation by Mr.
