Yeah, I'm a little skeptical about that too.

This only came about because they got outed -- investigative journalism is dead in this country. There are some honest people in politics, but most give every indication they are dirty money with their hands in the cookie jar. ACORN is only one worm, and there's a can of them. Want another one? Blackwater USA/Worldwide, now called Xe, is the world’s largest private mercenary army with over 20,000 soldiers and its own air force.
Blackwater Worldwide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Everybody knows ACORN is a criminal enterprise, just like everybody knows La Raza (the race) and Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) are racist organizations, as everybody knows the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a communist organization, etc.

In the interim of a legal inquiry that will likely produce no criminal charges (ACORN will dissolve and reform under another umbrella), you can forward this article to your Governor. Sometimes, it's the little things that count.

By Pete Winn, Senior Writer/Editor
(CNSNews.com) - Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty (R.) sent a letter Wednesday afternoon to the director of the Minnesota Commission of Management and Budget ordering him to stop all state funding to ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now).

Senate Democrat Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is refusing to hold a Senate hearing on ACORN’s activities. In a response to the 28 Senators yesterday, Reid said he would not ask the relevant Committee Chairman, or the Congress, to investigate ACORN’s activities.

Here's an even more extreme story about that evil organization Acorn. I'm sure Fox will lead with this one:

"Vaca was actually helping folks in Charlotte who are battling the worst economic crisis in our lifetime and fighting for them to stay in their houses, a project so "radical" that Citigroup and Bank of America (just the kind of folks you'd expect to partner with ACORN in its vast "socialist" conspiracy) are backing it. It is work that is so important that Vaca is continuing to do it now, even without a paycheck"

ACORN is only the umbrella hiding the real culprits...like the SEIU which has their hands in everything..which 1199 healthcare workers union is part of..a very militant union..I use to be a member..so it's no wonder that they are heavily involved in this healthcare debate..and why BHO keeps saying that healthcare workers are backing reform...of course they are...SEIU is sleeping with Obama..and 1199 is in bed with the hospitals since in many inner cities, 1199 has even lent money to hospitals to keep them afloat..which creates some very strange bedfellows if you catch my drift..so it is all corrupt..believe me..and the American people will get screwed..Dems / GOP / Inde's..doesn't matter..believe me you will be screwed...

Sounds like the GOP...
