    I won't confirm the accuracy but I heard on the radio that they are opening up under a different name with the same cast of players and ....... federal $$.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Very good news indeed, however, ACORN was tied into the SEIU, and according to investigative reports, ACORN and the SEIU (Service Employees International Union), are tied together and exchange funds back and forth.

    Wade Rathke, the founder of ACORN, was ousted from ACORN because his brother took 1-million from the organization, but, instead of prosecution, was allowed to make partial resitution, (shuffle).

    Wade Rathke is also with SEIU as their chief organizer...in short, ACORN going down is cool as no one can deny the corruption, however, in reality, they've probably been busy shuffling ACORN's assesst to SEIU and when it was done...they were bankrupt. Same entity...different name.

    BTW, SEIU spent over $30,000,000.00 in independant funds in support of the Obama campaign and 94% of SEIU's PAC's contributions were to democratic candidates. They represent more immigrant workers than any other union in the U.S. and are big-time behind the Health Care Reform effort, (all those people who didn't have insurance that will get it now).

    So, depending on how you think...this may be all fine and dandy, but, the correlations do kind of tie a few things together regarding other recent events. Like I said...shuffle...good shuffle, bad shuffle, however you think!
    Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

    Question

    ACORN may be shutting down, but they did get their guy into office. And now we have health insurance for all. And soon we will have complete amnesty for all illegal aliens; the rock is rolling down that hill. One has to wonder how much better it can get.
