What did Congress know about union-backed fraud and when did they know it?
So...let me get this straight: Acorn continuously breaks the law, running their shyster outfit like the Mafia, they've received $53 million dollars of OUR Federal taxpaying dollars since 1994, yet were found to be eligible to receive BILLIONS of our tax dollars...and they're whining like spineless criminals because they were finally caught red-handed?
Uh, where I come from, we call this K-A-R-M-A. Suck it up, Bertha.. Trafficking hookers and shelling out 'advice' to other nasty unsavories is NOT what that money was intended to be used for. Especially when WE are paying for it.
NOTE TO CONGRESS: before getting cute and deciding to give in to this suit, shelling out OUR TAX DOLLARS to these scum bags again, you might want to have a conversation with old Harry Reid - the same guy who refused to open an investigation into ACORN despite MASSIVE evidence linking ACORN to fraud in his own state.
1) 48 % of NV registrations turned in by ACORN were fraudulent and when the offices were raided by authorities, they found that 59 inmates from a work-release program at a nearby prison were employed by ACORN and found numerous irregularities. Its field director, Christopher Edwards, pled guilty to two gross misdemeanor counts of conspiracy.
Yet, despite the embarrassing avalanche of evidence, when the US Senate voted 83-7 to block ACORN from bidding for additional federal grant money, Reid STILL refused to hold a hearing on ACORN’s activities.
Even after the scandal broke revealing that ACORN was involved in human trafficking, underage prostitution operations and other allegations, Reid claimed that investigating ACORN would disrupt other critical areas of concern. (like bankrupting America, working to pass an illegal healthcare bill that nullifies our constitution and protecting sex offenders - yep, Harry's been busy)
Reid communicated his concerns to Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), stating his preference to focus on healthcare reform and economic recovery.


Perhaps Reid's attitude has more to do with the fact that SEIU/ACORN reps, kicked FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS over to Dirty Harry's campaign and they are expecting his protection.
But, ACORN has been under scrutiny for years - their misdeeds ignored by our Leadership, the Media and ultimately, the tax-paying public. Luckily enough, Hanna Giles, Andrew Breitbart, James O'Keefe and Glenn Beck dug their heels in and caught ACORN red-handed, permanently ripping the blinders off of America, once and for all.
