[quote=dmek25;595444]my point was that Acorn was funded under the Bush administration. does that make him guilty? you guys are ripping them, as well as you should. but they have done a lot of good also.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) is a collection of community-based organizations in the United States that advocate for low- and moderate-income families by working on neighborhood safety, [SIZE=4]voter registration[/SIZE], health care, [SIZE=4]affordable housing,[/SIZE] and other social issues. ACORN has over 400,000 members and more than 1,200 neighborhood chapters[1] in over 100 cities across the U.S.,[2] as well as in Argentina, Canada, Mexico, and Peru. ACORN was founded in 1970 by Wade Rathke and Gary Delgado.[3] Maude Hurd has been National President of ACORN since 1990.

ACORN's priorities have included: better housing and wages for the poor, more [SIZE=4]community development investment from banks and governm[/SIZE]ents,[SIZE=4] better public schools[/SIZE], and other social justice issues. ACORN pursues these goals through demonstration, negotiation, lobbying for legislation, and voter participation.[4] ACORN comprises a number of legally distinct non-profit entities including a nationwide umbrella organization established as a 501(c)(4) that performs lobbying; local chapters established as 501(c)(3) [SIZE=4]nonpartisan charities; and the ACORN Housing Corporation. These entities champion liberal and labor-oriented causes.[/SIZE] The organization has been the subject of numerous controversies.[/quote]

My response is in order as they are high lighted;
-you mean voter fraud
-Forcing banks to give out bad loans to people who could not afford a home that lead to alot of the banking problems
-see my last response
-have you seen the decline in pubilc school testing
- you said they are nonpartisan (yea right
-then you said "champion liberal and labor-oriented cause. ok then why did you say the group was nonpartisan then use the term liberal to describe them.

As a side note if they use tax payers money to open a whore house can tax payers write it off as a donation when paying for a BJ? Think then an old man could get his viagra from health coverage and then go get a BJ all on the tax payers dime. Maybe getting old won't be that bad.[IMG]http://www.thewarpath.net/images/icons/icon10.gif[/IMG]

Acorn has pushed for Comm. Dev. Investment [url=http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110009189]Featured Article - WSJ.com[/url] . We ended up with the CRA / Subprime lending . [url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2003808207_votefraud27m.html]Local News | Seven charged in vote-fraud scheme | Seattle Times Newspaper[/url] They have been involved in voter fraud . My problem aside from these and helping w/ teenage prostitution and tax evation , is there idea of helping the " poor " is to elect people who take from us in the middle class and our small business owners , who create jobs and already pay our fair share of taxes . Acorn is done ,,, finished .

Barney should be in prison for the problems he's caused this nation. However, he'd probably enjoy it.
