Community organizers. Nothing but crooks and thieves. This is where dear leader "learned the ropes" as a community organizer. He of course took it up a level hanging around with the likes of Rezko. Looks like this ones chickens are coming home to roost. Too bad the community organizer and chief controls the DOJ so he can get away with murder and laugh in our faces thanks to liberals.

"The daughter of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright — the controversial former pastor to President Barack Obama — was indicted today in an expanding federal probe of a state grant tied to a former suburban police chief.

Jeri Wright of Hazel Crest is accused of helping former Country Club Hills Police Chief Regina Evans convert fake paychecks from Evans’ nonprofit to Evans’ personal use, allegedly hiding money that was supposed to be used to train minority and female workers in the building trades.

Federal prosecutors in the Illinois’ central district say Jeri Wright received about $28,000 in grant-tied paychecks in 2009, but $20,000 of that was deposited back into accounts controlled by Evans. Prosecutors also say Wright then lied to officers and a grand jury.

The charges emerge about a year after Evans was charged with fraud in relation to a $1.25 million job training grant awarded to her nonprofit, We Are Our Brothers Keeper."

If someone had told me that he had a daughter and that she was involved in a non-profit, I would have laid money that she would be tapping into the funds.

Almost every leftie does it.

Yeah. I had a guy in my neighborhood who organized our Neighborhood Watch and had us all out there on Saturday mornings painting out graffiti. He printed up flyers to let everyone know which day the cops would be at the meetings (held in his home!) so we could talk about our concerns with them. Dang. I think he even had a city council member or two walk through the neighborhood so we could point out things like which vacant lots we wanted to turn into ball fields and community gardens. Then he got press coverage to show what we were doing when we painted the house of an elderly blind neighbor.

All because this one guy, who was a Mexican BTW, decided that all of us together had power. This community organizer helped us raise our property values and tell the gang bangers to go paint something else. Think he was a commie?

You're right. This is probably also Bush's fault
