In an announcement on its website, Bertha Lewis, the CEO of the troubled activist group, says that ACORN has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the reason stemming from the legal troubles surrounding numerous voter registration investigations across the country. The scandals led Congress to vote to cut off federal funding, and the group also lost some government support...." http://politics.blogs.foxnews.com/2010/11/02/acorn-s-troubled-past-leads-stunning-election-day-announcement "Once we got to the point where twenty/something's needed a place on the corner that changed the oil in their cars we were doomed . . ." -NickDG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

headoverheels 334 #5 November 3, 2010 Quote Good fucking riddance! Why do you think that? Probably because you have no idea what services ACORN provided to lower income people. Housing, mortgage and credit advice, neighborhood violence, minimum wage (FL ballot issue that resulted in over 1 million people getting $1/hr raise plus future indexing), free tax return preparation for low-income people, screeening for state and federal benefit programs, raising funds for Katrina relief. ACORN got a lot of negative press for voter fraud, but there were actually zero cases of fraudulent voting. What was true was that some of their workers were fucking cheats and were turning in fake registrations, because it was easier to fake them than do their work of canvassing door to door. The famous "pimp" video turned out to be heavily edited, such that the Massachusetts AG found no criminal action -- he did find that ACORN management oversight was lax.

loumeinhart 0 #6 November 3, 2010 QuoteACORN provided to lower income people. Housing, mortgage and credit advice, neighborhood violence, minimum wage without ACORN low-income people will be unable to get a mortgage, manage their credit, establish neigborhood associations, or vote on min wage. Wait.. UNLESS they decide to.... get a mortgage, manage their credit, establish neigborhood associations, and vote on min wage. headoverheels, I know it's a lot to swallow but I happen to think that most low-income people have it inside themselves to upwardly mobilize their life and do better for themselves... without a nanny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
