The time to demand answers is NOW! I am outraged that an organization that supposedly "helps" minority communities and gets roughly $800 million in stimulus dollars isn't roundly condemned by our President or members of Congress. What we have been witnessing is a completely corrupt and CRIMINAL enterprise. How can ACORN have have the audacity of saying they are helping their communities when they are giving advice on criminal activities to their members: more specifically, tax fraud, prostitution, human trafficking...this is HORRENDOUS!
Yet, the bigger story is that we MUST stop corruption in Washington DC. Groups like ACORN, run by those with very close ties to the President and other members of Congress that give millions of dollars in campaign money to these candidates, aren't usually examined/regulated by those who are supposed to serve the people of this nation. This tacit support of ACORN is a slap in the face to our communities and to the Constitution of the United States.
So, we MUST DEMAND accountability from our Representatives in Congress. We as a free society CAN NOT and MUST NOT allow for such vile actions from groups supported by tax payer money. The problem is that with a biased media and with politicians who are bent on keeping their power, holding these groups accountable seldom happens if not for the brave actions of TRUE reporters. The ACORN story keeps changing and the organization will inevitably change it's name in order to stay in business, but this shouldn't be the case! These groups, with there accomplices in the media, are bullying those who speak the truth about their organization and expose them for the CRIMINAL enterprises that they truly are.
Obama behaved exactly like ACORN when he fired Van Jones in the middle of the night. While attacking their critics, both the President and ACORN quietly got rid of those who were "distractions"...yet, they refuse to answer the questions as to WHY these people were fired and WHY they were allowed in these organizations or surrounding the President. I DEMAND ANSWERS because it is our right to know what is going on...with ACORN and other groups associated with Congressional leaders.
It seems strange that all of the sudden, after these allegations surfaced, that the President made a slight retreat away from ACORN claiming ignorance to their funding and to their actions...interesting because he used to work with ACORN. It is also a group funded by a major Democrat donor in George Soros. So, where is the accountability? Why did we have SEVEN Democrat Senators vote to still fund a group like ACORN? If we know that this is a criminal organization, wouldn't these Senators be duplicitous in these crimes? And why didn't the President say that he was OUTRAGED and DISGUSTED by what happened at ACORN?
These are questions that I want answered. These are questions that must be asked by our leaders....yet, many remain silent. The American people deserve better...we DESERVE true and honest leadership. Hopefully, the elections of 2010 will be a reminder that "We the People" still have power in America.
