In The Light of Day

A major element of Obama’s “civilian security force” in the light of day” after review. Keep in mind this review was conducted by a Democratically controlled House of Representatives. Where is main street media?

House Government and Oversight Committee summary

The report includes significant new information about wrongdoing brought to the attention of committee investigators by ACORN whistleblowers.

* ACORN has evaded taxes, obstructed justice, engaged in self dealing, and aided and abetted a cover-up of the $948.607.50 embezzlement by Dale Rathke, the brother of ACORN founder Wade Rathke.
* ACORN has committed investment fraud, deprived the public of its right to honest services, and engaged in a racketeering enterprise affecting interstate commerce.
* ACORN has committed a conspiracy to defraud the United States by using taxpayer funds for partisan political activities.
* ACORN has submitted false filings to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Department of Labor, in addition to violating the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
* ACORN falsified and concealed facts concerning an illegal transaction between related parties in violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
“It is outrageous that ACORN will be rewarded for its criminal acts by taxpayer money in the stimulus and is being asked to help with the U.S. census,” said Rep. Issa. “This report shines a light on clear criminal conduct and it is abundantly clear that they cannot and should not be trusted with taxpayer dollars.”

The report is 88 pages and does an excellent job of providing background on the Rathke embezzlement scandal, Acorn’s tax evasion, and violation of ERISA laws. Those who have followed whistleblower Anita MonCrief’s work will be familiar with many of the sections on the political coordination between ACORN, Project Vote, and its tax-exempt affiliates — particularly CCI and CSI. Still, there is only passing mention of the intimate relationship between ACORN and Team Obama – and only one line about the Obama campaign’s misreported $800,000+plus expenditure to CSI/ACORN, which was reported on back in August 2008.

Where is the Justice Department? Oh yeah, I forgot, the Justice Department is too busy investigating the CIA, how silly of me.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I know I sleep better at night secure in the knowledge that such an honorable organization is part of our first line of defense in Obama’s “civilian security force”.

Can any sane American give me a rational explanation why the Obama stimulus bill awarded Eight Billion(8,000,000,000,000) taxpayer dollars to Acorn and it’s 230+ affiliate arms?
