This will drive ACORN nuts! “Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, a member of the Judiciary Committee, is demanding congressional hearings into the financial structure of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.” “…now lawmakers want to follow the money.” “FOX News has found more than 250 nonprofit groups list ACORN’s New Orleans headquarters as their address. Among them is Citizens Services Inc., a firm that was paid more than $800,000 by the Obama campaign for a get-out-the-vote program last year. Citizen Services lists two ACORN headquarters as its offices and even shares a third floor legal department with ACORN.” “…former FEC Commissioner Hans von Spakowsky says a wider probe is needed. “ACORN has all these subsidiaries and affiliates that seem to be shell organizations with money being transferred between them and to investigate that takes a lot of resources,” said von Spakovsky, a visiting legal scholar at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. “I really think that’s the kind of thing that only someone like the FBI could thoroughly investigate.” |

Ive been thinking about this, trying to figure out a way to get the word out for even people that dont have the money to be able to get the word out. I cant afford to rent a billborad. But I wanted to do something since my husband is a GM dealership worker and they are breaking us, our money is so tight.
So I thought, why dont we make a small message that can be printed on any computer, or even handwritten out. Small enough to make 4 or 6 pieces from an average piece of paper, a message that would have to be more than “Wheres the birth certificate” but not overwhelming with your site address on it.
THey could be left at every grocery store we visit, every 7-11, every gas station/convenience store etc…on the shelves that we grab something to buy, in the milk section, on the gas pumps if we use sticky notes. Everywhere! And it wouldnt cost anybody much at all. Across the country we could start a stick it campaign.
We could really spread the word and feel good about it, without hurting anyone’s already depleted pocketbook. I really like this idea. What do you think?

Well, don’t hold your breath that the ACORN investigation will actually be held. Here is some news that will show the current sentiment of the Soetoro/Obama adminstration:
“Charges brought against three members of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense under the Bush administration have been dropped by the Obama Justice Department, FOX News has learned.”
“A poll watcher who provided an affidavit to prosecutors in the case noted that Bartle Bull, who worked as a civil rights lawyer in the south in the 1960’s and is a former campaign manager for Robert Kennedy, said it was the most blatant form of voter intimidation he had ever seen.”
