ACORN is playing dead

Since ACU began taking on ACORN we have scored a number of victories.

We have helped expose their federal funding, to the tune of millions of taxpayer dollars. We exposed their connection to the mortgage meltdown that led our nation into financial crisis and their connection to Barack Obama's campaign - remember our ACU videos?

It didn't take long before other brave people stepped forward to expose them for what they had been up to: criminal enterprises masked as community efforts.

So when Congress finally had the will power to start removing their federal funding we cheered, and we supported their efforts.

Now our newspapers are reporting that ACORN is dead.

But, it is critical that as ACU activists you know ACORN is not gone, they are merely rolling over and playing dead like a dog in our nation's backyard.

They are trying to hide under other names so they can come back stronger than ever.

We need to keep the pressure on Congress and the liberal Democrats who supported them to not fund any ACORN spin offs. Tax dollars do not belong with ACORN related subsidiaries!

TELL CONGRESS: DO NOT FUND ANY ACORN-RELATED GROUPS. WE DO NOT WANT OUR TAX DOLLARS BEING SPENT WITH ACORN OR THEIR SPIN-OFFS. WE ARE WATCHING!

Shakespeare wrote, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet..." However, every rose has its thorn we know ACORN, and their related groups, for who they are.

The Metro section of the Washington post recently wrote, "ACORN's Capitol Hill office is shutting down... National group making broad closures but it hasn't dissolved."

The story continued that, "The Capitol Hill office which had become an increasingly important location for ACORN is shutting down... after the organization was hammered by scandal." However, Michael McCray, a member of a breakaway group of ACORN leaders said, "they're looking forward to replacing ACORN with something that is an effective advocate."

The key words are "it hasn't dissolved." ACORN is claiming to some they are going away, while telling others they are staying put if even operating under a different name.

We need to nip them in the bud.

TELL CONGRESS: DO NOT FUND ANY ACORN-RELATED GROUPS. WE DO NOT WANT OUR TAX DOLLARS BEING SPENT WITH ACORN OR THEIR SPIN-OFFS. WE ARE WATCHING!

Time is of the essence.

Another election is approaching. Their leaders will try to corrupt this election process just like they did in the past. Our economy is just beginning to recover from the disastrous policies they pushed for subprime mortgages. The criminal enterprises they encouraged will look for an outlet.

As USA Today's headline recently screamed: "Vows to pick up where ACORN left off are made," and quoting critic Matthew Vadum who said he truly "believes it will re-emerge."

Call your local talk radio and tell them that ACORN isn't dead. Write on blogs to tell people that ACORN isn't dead. Send letters to the editor exposing the group's leaders and keep the pressure on to tell people that ACORN isn't dead.

And help ACU tell Congress: DO NOT FUND ANY ACORN-RELATED GROUPS. WE DO NOT WANT OUR TAX DOLLARS BEING SPENT WITH ACORN OR THEIR SPIN-OFFS. WE ARE WATCHING!

P.S. FOXNews recently reported, "The Chicago office for the community activist group, known as ACORN, seems to have disappeared. (BUT) In its place; a company called Affordable Housing Centers of America, [is] located in the same office, with apparently many of the same employees. Like we said, ACORN isn't dead.
