There is no other reason. More than 80,000 community groups just like ACORN are working with the Census Bureau to help recruit enumerators. The only difference is that the disinformation media have not decided to wage a war of outright lies against any of them.
I demand a recount Obama stole the election. I refuse to follow a president that stole the election.

Wow...that was persuasive.

You really want me to name all of the organizations that do the same work here in my community? No, the names don't matter....the work gets done and NONE of it is done by ACORN. People here register to vote, kids get into Head Start and other early learning programs, we have programs for affordable housing, services for abused women and children, adult language classes to learn English, job placement services, classes at the community colleges, free tax preparation at the library, food pantries, clothing donation sites, resources and group homes to help men transition out of prison, college opportunities for kids coming from low income homes....
Want me to print out the entire section of the phone book because I don't know all the names of all of the organizations but have worked with or am familiar with many listed above. Again, NONE of these programs are affiliated with ACORN, we get along just fine without them.

IF you were active in your community surely you would know about other such organizations....or you could just get out your phone book.

Granted, AFAIK Santa Claus and Mickey Mouse didn't get to register to vote here and I'm pretty sure our housing organizations aren't sponsoring any brothels. I don't know of any charity that will help you keep illegal child sex workers as 'foreign exchange students' or coach you to lie to the IRS on tax forms....haven't heard anything about state investigations, fraud or embezzlement either so maybe we are missing out on not having an ACORN office in the neighborhood.

Come to think of it, I've never lived in an area where ACORN offered services and still the communities had all of the same services I listed above (if applicable). Do you want me to print the phone book for all the places I've ever lived??

ACORN's motto---a brothel in every neighborhood. Roll eyes.

It really surprises me how liberals will defend the indefendable, they will lie and say it didn't happen even though it is on video. Video doesn't lie, there is no "conservative spin" to this. ACORN and the liberals support child prostitution, why is that so hard to fathow? Whenever a sex offender goes to jail the liberal is more concerned with getting the sex offender treatment than they are with helping the REAL victim.

I thought democrats like minorities? Is this how you show your liking? By offering up advice to enslave their young women to life times of prostitution? Good going, libs.

I could see dollar signs in the eyes of the ACORN workers. I could see them planning on helping them set up the brothel for some of the profits. Wonder just how many houses they already own of this type?

Another win for conservatives.

Thank you Fox News for being persistent!

Barry's Kingdom is crumbling one stone at a time!

Once we can rid him of all his corrupt Chicago slum-politic ways, maybe we'll see the change he promised.

You notice the tax lady would never say what her husband did. She used him as an example of what you do when someone asks you a question you don't like. She said when people ask her about her husband she mentions how nice the weather has been (allegedly because it is none of their business). Anybody want to place some money on her husband working a legit job? Although I'm sure she could figure out a way to make crack dealer sound like something else.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

The brothels are already there, whether you like it or believe it or not.

If you formalize them, you can license them, tax them, and mandate that the sex workers get regular health exams.

Acorn is only trying to broaden the tax base to help with the budget deficits, promote the general welfare of the public, take crime off the streets, and provide a safe environment for trade to occur. What's wrong with that?
