Almost everyone who follows the news has seen or heard about the undercover videos released in the past few weeks showing ACORN employees helping people engage in illegal activities. Bertha Lewis, ACORN's chief organizer, was a guest on FOX News Sunday this week explaining what actions the organization is taking to discipline the people involved. She stated that all the employees shown on the tapes supporting illegal activities have been terminated. Well, not so fast. The American Thinker did some research and found otherwise.
According to an article in the New York Post:
"A spokesman for New York ACORN Housing Corp. told The Post that the employees, Volda Albert and Milagros Rivera, have been suspended without pay.
""It will remain that way until the outcome of the [Brooklyn district
attorney 's]investigation is resolved," said spokesman Jonathan Rosen."
So what Ms. Lewis said is not true. Further investigations shows that the people who were shown on the videos were experienced employees--they had been with ACORN a number of years and were in responsible positions.
Please read the American Thinker article to see the connection between ACORN and its other front organizations.
