Just as somewhere between 100,000 and two million Tea Party demonstrators descended on Capitol Hill last weekend, to protest the frightening trend of irresponsible Congressional spending and government expansion, along and Washington corruption, another black-mark story broke on the President's favorite nonprofit organization: ACORN the federally force-funded organization with billions of taxpayer dollars.
Seasoned financial analyst and publisher of The International Forecaster, Bob Chapman, is as irate as the Tea Party goers over the wasteful and destructive fiscal habits of our political leaders. But when it comes to ACORN, it goes way beyond that, as we all watch our tax dollars fund "nothing more than a criminal enterprise, reminiscent of Hitler's personal political paramilitary thugs, the Brown Shirts!" he says.
ACORN is the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now, an action group that Barack Obama has literally defended as a lawyer, used as his role model and promoted as a politician in his belief that it is the poster-child organization for his utopian society.
It's also the same group that conducted nationwide voter fraud that helped get Obama into the White House and the group once chosen to help conduct the U.S. Census.
Since then, ACORN has been called out for other law-breaking practices, including last week, when ACORN employees in three different cities were caught on tape advising a "pimp" and a "prostitute" on how to launder their money, falsify tax forms and conduct other acts to dupe the authorities.
In two of the cities, the "pimp" even told ACORN workers he was going to run his ring using 13-year-old illegal-alien girls from El Salvador. And to think billions of our tax dollars could be used to run a child brothel - outrageous.
Lawmakers are now calling for a thorough investigation and IRS audit of ACORN and say if this behavior ran consistently in three different cities, it is obviously indicative of a cross-organizational mindset and leads one to wonder how shallow ACORN's morals are.
"ACORN is an Obama creation that has received billions of dollars in funding to spread the word about the virtues of Obama," says Chapman. Now, another troubling development rubs our own noses in what Chapman calls a "horrible use of our tax dollars, which further contributes to our massive budget deficit. This is your government in action and reflects directly on the character of the man who garnered the majority of the vote in the last Presidential elections."
One of Chapman's concerns is that ACORN is using your tax dollars to actively interfere with the Second Amendment exercise of gun rights in New Jersey and elsewhere.
ACORN went public with its gun control activism when it intervened in an unsuccessful attempt to defend Jersey City, New Jersey, a hot bed of anti-gun rights extremists, to disarm its citizens with a local gun control ordinance. ACORN has pushed for stronger local gun restrictions that were already struck down by the New Jersey state court as a violation of state law.
The group made news recently when it was terminated from any U.S. census bureau work when its staff in Baltimore, MD counseled reporters posing as a pimp and a prostitute on how to set up a house of ill repute using tax dollars.
The Obama trained Leftist group ACORN has been exposed again and "Must have its non-profit status removed, return the taxpayers money and have all taxpayer funding pulled," according to Chapman.
For the past few election cycles ACORN has clearly grown more partisan toward the radical political Left. ACORN'S PAC, in fact, endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president, even though their tax-exempt status prohibits endorsement of political candidates. That's hardly surprising since Obama used to serve as their legal counsel and he taught the group about community organizing. ACORN and Obama are lockstep in seeking to destroy our Second Amendment rights.
"It is an outrage that this group has intervened to defend an anti-gun ordinance that has already been declared illegal by the court. So long as ACORN accepts one penny of public funding, the organization should remain absolutely neutral on social issues, political campaigns and especially legal actions defending the right to keep and bear arms," Chapman said.
ACORN has, since 1998, received an estimated $31 million in government funding. Yes, Obama knows a great deal about ACORN and its role in the bailout mess. He is a central figure in the left-wing ACORN exploitation of financial institutions to pressure them to make high-risk loans. This is the very same left-wing ACORN that was sued for voter fraud in our last presidential election.
Obama's presidential campaign paid more than $800,000 to a front of ACORN, currently under investigation in a dozen States for voter registration fraud and bribery schemes, for "get-out-the-vote-efforts".
"Bad enough that ACORN is implicated in fraudulent activities in several states, but now an ACORN chapter in the Garden State is working against the ability of New Jersey gun owners to exercise a constitutionally protected individual civil right to own a handgun," said former NYPD detective, Sid Frances.
"This is still the United States, not a socialist gulag. Public money should not be given to private organizations which then turn around and utilize that funding to usurp the electoral process and erode constitutionally guaranteed civil rights," said Frances.
The fact that the federal government would even consider using ACORN as part of its 2010 Census to disenfranchise gun rights supporters is cause for Americans to be very concerned.

Another good read, JP. For whatever reason ACORN has not had to be accountable. I do have to wonder if ACORN was of another political persuasion how successful they'd be.
I understand there are going to be more videos to be released still. The MSM is going to have to pay attention to this sooner or later, this may turn into a bigger story than they realize! Thanks for the article.
Hi Jim, thanks for the feedback. Yes, I have associates at Fox News and they keep me advised and there will be more to this story than previously reported. This could be a major scandal. JP
Thanks JP for your informative and objectively told article. Very helpful and truthful. unfortunately, there are still many Americans turning a blind eye and think our president is the answer to all America's problems. This group and many others need to be held accountable but will they ever??!
Thanks Teresa - for both reading the article and the feedback. From what I have been told by my insiders, this one looks serious. In the beginning of Watergate, nobody wanted to report it. I think this could have huge political implications for Mr. Obama and his administration. The democrats are already bailing out and want nothing to do with this organization. Only time will tell but the reporting will continue. JP
Ken - thanks for your feedback. By paying attention and demanding accountability from our elected leaders, by asking questions. I have associates in the TV medium and they tell me this thing is going to explode. They have already shown 5 tapes and have 5 more "in the can," so the American peole get an indepth bath on this. The mainstream news media is dying over this. They know they must present it, but it is killing them to do so. Obama is their man and now they have some egg on their faces. JP
JP, good and informative pieces once again, JP, Our subscription to our daily paper is soon to expire - since they no longer deliver it to our home I am sure glad we have you and the internet. Marijo
Thanks Marijo - you can send the quarter daily to the Grand Cayman Islands; that will help me buy a beer at the local pub. Glad you enjoy my news articles. JP
Reminds me of the old adage, "Be careful who you go to bed with!" It is funny how fast things can change in an organization. I hope the investigation solves the misconduct, but I am sure it won't. It usually is too late to correct the misdeeds. that is a lot of wasteful spending! Thanks for sharing!
Well written and informative. ACORN is going to have to be accountable very soon, I believe. Thanks to FOX news and other independent reports, the American public is hearing about some of the more nefarious deeds propagated by ACORN. And for those congressmen who continue to defend ACORN, shame on you! Two of them are from my state (ugh!). I'm going to do everything I can to help get rid of them next time they come up for re-election!
Thanks Grammy for reading the article and giving me feedback. Day by day ACORN is losing the battle in the court of public opinion. They need to clean house and admit their mistakes. I think the American people have a history of forgiving those who admit their mistakes and move on to do things correctly. Thanks again, JP
Very well-said. ACORN's time is up, and it's just a matter of time before the adminstration realizes they have to cut them off at the knees. Somehow I don't think they'll go quietly, but that's okay: as long as they go. We have enough corruption and incompetence in government.
Michael, thanks for taking the time to READ the article. I apprreciate your feedback. As you can see from the feedback below, some people can't read and it's all George Bush's fault - for everything. JP

I wonder what the author of this article has to say about the billions of tax dollars that are never to be accounted for by the likes of the Bush administrations military contractors? Where was the outcry from these concerned citizens when hundreds of thousands of innocent people (MANY UNBORN BABIES) were being killed in our name?
Where were the current patriots when the US Constitution was being treated like toilet paper for the last eight years and torture was considered perfectly legal?
ACORN receives only 10 percent of its funding from the US government. Out of 700 plus employees, less than a ten were involved nation wide in this so called sting operation. No money or paperwork were processed and in many cases, the sting operators were thrown out of offices. There were reports made by Fox News which were later confirmed to be false because they did no fact checking!
Corporate America is responding to the increased focus on its continued ownership of our government and its disastrous policies that nearly bankrupted the nation.
Please balance your articles with facts and tune in to something other than an obvious corporate propaganda service such as FOX News. The only real news anchor they have is Shepard Smith. He is constantly vilified for actually reporting the news!
The corporate owners of our government are very afraid that we might reclaim our power and are doing everything that they can to divert our attention from the fact that 45,000 Americans die each year because they have no medical insurance or are under insured. I'll end with this power phrase of one of my favorite presidents; "Government may not be the answer, but corporate controlled government is the problem".
