ACORN is Back…Not That They Ever Really Left

ACORN - The Takeover of America

In September 2009, James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles released videos showing Giles posing as a prostitute and O'Keefe as her pimp engaging ACORN employees in six cities who provided advice on how to engage in tax evasion, human smuggling and child prostitution.

The government reacted by cancelling tens of millions of dollars’ worth of contracts with ACORN, a left-wing criminal syndicate with branches on over 100 American cities.

ACORN, a secretive labyrinth of interlocking non-profit and for profit front groups receiving untold millions of dollars in grants from local, state and the Federal government over a 40 year period, engaged in campaigns to overwhelm the welfare system, bankrupt the banking system and short circuit the voter rolls with fraudulent applications. ACORN was regularly hired by liberal Democratic candidates as their shock troops in their efforts to “get out the vote.” Barack Obama’s campaign paid ACORN almost a million dollars in the 2008 presidential primary and turned over their maxed out donor list to ACORN for the general election.

Charles Moscowitz, author of ACORN - The Takeover of America notes that while the left-wing behemoth was driven into bankruptcy once the government contracts were cancelled as a result of the scandal, ACORN continues to operate in many cities under different names.Morse also notes that organizations formerly affiliated with ACORN were busy in voting districts where President Obama got 97%-99% of the vote in the 2012 election.

The administration has now hired former ACORN lobbyist Deepak Bhargava to run an Obamacare promotion. Bhargava appears to have played a role in a revival of the loosely affiliated front groups that made up ACORN. The left-wing blog Alternet quotes Bhargava as saying, “There are quite a few grassroots organizing groups and networks around the country, but no single branded group like ACORN. There are the seeds of a poor people’s movement in the country again, more today than in a number of years.” Exactly what ACORN ever did for poor people remains a mystery.

Alternet lists 3 such groups:

·         National Peoples Action (NPA), a mid-sized group of 200 organizers with a national and a multi-state presence, played a key role in organizing Occupy Wall Street. NPA pushes “financial reform and preventing foreclosures” which are euphemisms for coercing banks into doling out taxpayer backed loans to unqualified applicants—the same tactic that led to the economic meltdown of 2008.

Alternet quotes NPA director George Goehl, “We’ve put a good deal of energy into trying to modernize the Community Reinvestment Act. That’s become a primary focus of our three meetings with Ben Bernanke. We’ve had nine townhall meetings with his staff and five official meetings with the Fed focused on modernizing CRA.”

·         The New York Communities for Change (NYCC) a splinter group of ACORN, is working on lowering mortgage standards and cancelling mortgage payments in New York and also to organize unions for supermarket workers.

·         The Maine People’s Alliance (MPA) is working to stop attempts by the State of Maine to prevent voter fraud.
