The ACORN Corruption Mystery Continues to Unfold

The issues surrounding the organization called, ACORN, have been coming under heavy debate for the past few years with many accusations and even prosecutions regarding voter fraud by individuals working for them.

Congressman Steve King, of Iowa, has been heading up efforts to remove ACORN from receiving any federal taxpayer dollars for several months now with many backing him up with strong urges to audit the organization to find out what exactly they have been doing with the millions the organization has received in taxpayer dollars. Nancy Pelosi has blocked House attempts to bring forth investigations into the organization six times.

In a September 10, 2009 press release, Steve King states,

“Taxpayers should be outraged that their money has gone to an organization that, in addition to facing charges of voter fraud and tax violations, is willing to facilitate prostitution,” King said. “As this video confirms, ACORN continues to operate as a criminal enterprise. Nancy Pelosi, John Conyers, Barney Frank and other Democrats on Capitol Hill continue to protect and fund ACORN while blocking Congressional hearings on ACORN’s operations and finances. Shielding ACORN from oversight ensures that this partisan criminal enterprise will continue its shady practices while collecting taxpayer funds.”

His reaction followed the release of videotapes of ACORN employees appearing to consult two individuals on how to evade taxes and how to hide their child prostitution operation.

Steve King’s latest press release calls the group a, “Criminal Enterprise” and continues with a request for, “An all-out, full court press federal investigation”.

“We have now seen multiple examples of an organization that, in addition to facing charges of voter fraud and tax violations, is willing to facilitate child prostitution and human trafficking. These videos have confirmed that ACORN continues to operate as a criminal enterprise.

“An all-out, full court press federal investigation is the only way to bring ACORN to heel. The Department of Justice and the Internal Revenue Service need to jointly investigate ACORN and perform a complete forensic analysis of the activities and finances of ACORN and its affiliates. We also need multiple Congressional committee investigations to ensure this partisan criminal enterprise will not continue its shady practices while collecting taxpayer funds. People need to go to jail for their criminal activities.”

His latest comments stem from the latest in a series of undercover videos taken while James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles performed a unique investigation at a number of ACORN offices across the country.

NOTE: Currently there are 20 states investigating ACORN with many investigations being brought on since the uproar over these videos and serious concerns with the activities seen in them.

The latest videos to be released were taken at the ACORN’s San Diego, California field office.

And yet there is a rumor that there are still more videos to come. With each video the plot thickens for this supposed non-partisan organization.

Another document was forwarded onto me this morning with well researched details showing the history of the organization. The document is provided by the Capital Research Center, titled, “Who Funds the Weather Underground’s Little Brother?” If you are looking for the dirty little secrets on ACORN, I’d suggest you take a long look at this document.
