Great News, ACORN Folds!
Mar 22, 2010 Political
The corrupt community organizing group ACORN is closing down. Some of the stronger local affiliates will remain but the national chapter is closing.
The ACORN Association Board met on Sunday March 21 and approved a set of steps to responsibly manage the process of bringing its operations to a close over the coming months. These include:
* Closing ACORN’s remaining state affiliates and field offices by April 1st; and
* Developing a plan to resolve all outstanding debts, obligations and other issues.ACORN’s members have a great deal to be proud of–from promoting to homeownership to helping rebuild New Orleans, from raising wages to winning safer streets, from training community leaders to promoting voter participation—ACORN members have worked hard to create stronger to communities, a more inclusive democracy, and a more just nation.

Members of this group were video recorded advising people to commit crimes (despite any claims to the contrary). The videos do not lie. There is no way to edit in people giving advice on how to break the law.
Now all we have to do is keep this corrupt organization from reorganizing under some other name.
Then again, they say this will happen on April Fool’s Day. I guess we will have to wait and see.
Never surrender, never submit.
