September 10, 200917 yr This is unreal. Two folks run an undercover operation at the ACORN office in Baltimore. They pose as a pimp and a prostitute and want to have ACORN help them with housing. They tell the lady flat out what their business is AND they claim to be bringing in many underage girls from El Salvador to participate in the business. ACORN rep, not the sharpest tool, helps them skirt tax rules and doesn't flinch when she hears about the underage prostitution ring. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,549001,00.html
September 11, 200917 yr More than just an (one) official is in serious trouble at ACORN. http://www.miamiherald.com/news/breaking-news/story/1224631.html Eleven people hired to register potential voters in Miami-Dade County before last year's presidential election were being sought Wednesday for falsifying hundreds of voter registration cards. The Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office issued arrest warrants for each of the 11 suspects, all of whom worked for the local chapter of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, (ACORN). By early Wednesday morning, six were in custody, authorities said.

September 11, 200917 yr Author To be fair to an organization that has its fair share of problems, they did help authorities in arresting these folks and with the investigation. I'll be curious to hear their thoughts on this Baltimore fiasco. More than just an (one) official is in serious trouble at ACORN. http://www.miamiherald.com/news/breaking-news/story/1224631.html Eleven people hired to register potential voters in Miami-Dade County before last year's presidential election were being sought Wednesday for falsifying hundreds of voter registration cards.

September 11, 200917 yr Maybe somoene who knows more than me about it can help me out, but I don't believe our gov't should give 1 cent to this organization.

ACORN did cooperate with the arrest and probable prosecution of these 2. And I have been very critical of ACORN as I have had experience with their organization, and this seems to be pretty typical of who they sometimes hire. It is a shame that these are the types of people they hire. And if every other employer in the USA is responsible for the actions of their employees, then ACORN should be held to the same standard. These 2 'workers' are scum, plain and simple.
September 11, 200917 yr Not a big Beck fan but he got this one right.. He has been right on a few things, and will be right on a lot more. The way he acts though and some of the things he suggest are waaaay out there, so he loses cred.
September 11, 200917 yr Author Not a big Beck fan but he got this one right.. Can't be an easy gig to be the National Spokesperson for ACORN going on a right winger show. How the guy didn't stand up and go knuckle junction with Beck is beyond me. He certainly deserves to have his tail whipped. THEN he would have a reason to cry.
September 12, 200917 yr Second ACORN office caught in the act, so to speak. US government has severed census ties with ACORN. This group should be banned from any future grants from the US Congress. Plus congressional hearings should start investigating this organization.

September 13, 200917 yr Maybe somoene who knows more than me about it can help me out, but I don't believe our gov't should give 1 cent to this organization. YOU got that right. But the Big B. O. loves this group. Hundreds of millions given to them each year. And none of our pol. will say anything about what they do or say. Everyone must be pol. correct. Don't we have strong leaders. Most of them make me want to:puke:
