Investigating The Association Of Community Organizers For Reform Now (ACORN)

The antics of ACORN came to light in the last election.  If you are not aware of them, please seach this site for a very incomplete, but representative list.  There was voter fraud, and more recently, advice on how to skirt the laws while engaging in sex trade with underage women.  Sounds like an investigation would be in order, but ACORN seems to have some pretty strong connections in the White House, and nothing is happening.  In fact, ACORN in Brooklyn is suing the government to get their funding back!  (see Right Wing Granny post of Nov 12, 2009)

BigGovernment.com has a post which may indicate where we go from here.  Andrew Breitbart appeared on the Sean Hannity show and stated that:

“Not only are there more tapes, it’s not just ACORN.  And this message is to Attorney General Holder: I want you to know that we have more tapes, it’s not just ACORN, and we’re going to hold out until the next election cycle, or else if you want to do a clean investigation, we will give you the rest of what we have, we will comply with you, we will give you the documentation we have from countless ACORN whistleblowers who want to come forward but are fearful of this organization and the retribution that they fear that this is a dangerous organization.  So if you get into an investigation, we will give you the tapes; if you don’t give us the tapes, we will revisit these tapes come election time.”

There needs to be an investigation of ACORN.  If it takes Andrew Breitbart releasing his tapes to get it down, that’s fine.  Just get it done. $53 million in federal aid has been given to ACORN.  I think it is time the taxpayers had an accounting of how that money has been spent.  Thank you, Mr. Breitbart, for your courage in trying to clean up our government.
