Obama Spiked ACORN Investigation: Judicial Watch Releases FBI Documents
Documents released today by Judicial Watch reference serious allegations of corruption and voter registration fraud by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform (ACORN), as well as the Obama administration’s decision to shut down a criminal investigation into these matters.
Sounds Illegal to me....

Time for another, "Who ya Gonna Believe?" from the White House
I'm beginning to think the Obama administration enjoys insulting our intelligence.
White House Spokeswoman Says Different Bertha Lewis on Visitor’s Log
Of course, it is possible that this isn’t ACORN’s Bertha Lewis. After a previous dump of visitor records listed the name, Jeremiah Wright, the White House said, ‘oh, that was a different Jeremiah Wright.’ The media, of course, said, ‘okay,’ and never followed up. So, maybe the Bertha Lewis listed here isn’t the CEO of ACORN. Just another Bertha Lewis who gets special weekend access to the White House Residence, complete with an extra-special staff tour. Sure, possible, but we’d love to see a bookie’s odds on that.

Dems Vote to Keep Funding ACORN
Dems Vote to Allow Federal Funding for Corrupt ACORN
by Rep. John Boehner (R-OH)
Last night, Rep. Tom Latham (R-IA) offered an amendment during deliberations on the Democrats’ massive year-end appropriations bill to clarify the prohibition on federal funds going to ACORN or its subsidiaries. That amendment was shot down on a 5-9 party line vote as Republicans sided with taxpayers while Democrats stood with ACORN.
Rep. Latham’s amendment is necessary to prevent taxpayer money from going to ACORN because the Obama Administration’s Department of Justice has taken advantage of a legal loophole to allow ACORN to continue to receive federal funds – despite the passage of the House GOP’s Defund ACORN Act in the fall.
The American people and the Congress have spoken loud and clear: ACORN should be denied any taxpayer funds. Period.

Obama going to keep funding ACORN
The Justice Department has concluded that the Obama administration can lawfully pay the community group Acorn for services provided under contracts signed before Congress banned the government from providing money to the group.
Of course he wants to continue funding ACORN, how else are liberal democrats going to win elections?

Obama's Political Director has ties to SEIU and ACORN
Eric Erikson at RedState has the SEIU/ACORN/OBAMA scoops!
Another White House Name Surfaces in the ACORN Rolodex
If ACORN, the Working Families Party, or the SEIU wanted a jobs program at the White House, they have a ready outlet with Gaspard as the Political Director and Nancy Hogan as the Director for the Office of Personnel.
We know Van Jones got by the Office of Personnel. Nancy Hogan’s name on the Lewis contacts list raises new questions about Jones’s vetting and hiring. The White House General Counsel is rumored to have raised objections that were overruled by Valerie Jarrett. But what role did Nancy Hogan play?
Patrick Gaspard = ACORN = SEIU = White House political affairs director.
* We know that Patrick Gaspard is the White House political affairs director.
* We know that Patrick Gaspard enjoys the trust of the White House to perform sensitive tasks.
* We know that Patrick Gaspard is in fact one of the most quietly powerful people in this administration.
* We know that Patrick Gaspard was formerly an ACORN higher-up.
* We know that Patrick Gaspard was also formerly affiliated with SEIU.
* We know that Patrick Gaspard was seen by Big Labor as being a payoff for SEIU’s support.
* We know that Patrick Gaspard’s brother Michael represents ACORN (and that ACORN Chief Organizer Bertha Lewis kept contact information for Patrick Gaspard).
* And we know that links between ACORN & SEIU and ACORN & the White House have been minimized, downplayed, and outright sanitized recently.
* What we don’t know yet is whether the White House is going to do the same thing with the ties between SEIU and the White House.
How long before Obama is IMPEACHED?

SEIU, OBAMA and VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS
Kathleen Parker unravels part of SEIU and ACORN's web
ACORN and Its Political Seed
Wade Rathke, co-founder of ACORN and founder of SEIU Local 100 in New Orleans. Rathke, who resigned from ACORN last year as "chief organizer" after it became known that his brother embezzled almost $1 million from the association, continues to run Local 100, as well as ACORN International, recently renamed Community Organizations International.
One needn't be a mathematician to imagine what a national health-care option might mean to a union in search of new dues-paying recruits. The SEIU, which has promised "to fight tooth and nail" for a public option, is demonstrably persuasive. In Illinois, former governor Blagojevich (thank you for your patience) helped position the SEIU so that it could unionize health-care workers when he signed an executive order allowing collective bargaining. The SEIU showed its appreciation in advance by becoming Blagojevich's largest contributor, handing over $1.8 million for his two gubernatorial campaigns.
And guess which Party in Virginia benefits from SEIU

Ken Cuccinelli Lectures Steve Shannon on integrity
State Senator Ken Cuccinelli, Republican Nominee for Attorney General called on his Democrat opponent today to return any and all campaign contributions to his campaign from the Service Employees International Union or SEIU and condemn all ACORN activity.
"Steve Shannon has received tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from the SEIU - whose link and close working relationship with the renegade organization ACORN is well documented" said Senator Ken Cuccinelli. "SEIU's long standing financial support and its affiliation as an allied organization of ACORN across the country requires a repudiation of the relationship" added Cuccinelli.
"I applaud the United States Congress for moving to de-fund ACORN of any tax payer dollars, a move that should have occurred years ago. ACORN's well documented illegal activities, including voter fraud, should give all Americans pause. Voters have a right to know that ACORN affiliated and allied organizations are funding Democrat campaigns this year in Virginia, and what do they expect in return?" concluded Cuccinelli.
ya know what would be a hot presidential ticket? Cuccinelli and Palin!
ohh baby! now that would really make liberal butts twitch! hehe

“W.H. distances from activist group”
Michelle Malkin
"Barack Obama can no more disown ACORN than he could disown his own shadow.
He IS ACORN. And ACORN is him. The “accountability” that White House flack Robert Gibbs says they take “extremely seriously” doesn’t extend to Team Obama itself — and the accountability they have evaded for pouring more than $800,000 into an ACORN front group for campaign advance work that was mysteriously re-classified as “get-out-the-vote” work."

House votes to cut off funding for ACORN
The House of Representatives just voted overwhelmingly to de-fund ACORN, 345-75. The vote came on a Republican motion to recommit the educational loan bill. As a result, the anti-ACORN provision made it into the House-passed bill.
Below are the names of Virginia's congressmen who voted to preserve ACORN's stream of funding.
give these scabs a call
Jim Moran, D-Va.: (202) 225-4376
Bobby Scott, D-Va.(202) 225-8351
AND BTW.. With This Bill Congress, just handed over Student Loans to the very partisan BOARD OF EDUCATION.
so now the democrats not only control who gets mortgages , who hands them out and at what rate, they also control student loans.
The senate still has to vote on it
