Since September, at least half of ACORN's 30 chapters have disbanded, the Times said. The group's large New York and California chapters have set up fresh organizations. Congress voted by wide margins to prohibit the federal government from funding ACORN and the Census Bureau ended its partnership with the group.
Monday, March 22, 2010 CHICAGO — The once mighty community activist group ACORN announced Monday it is folding amid falling revenues — six months after video footage emerged showing some of its workers giving tax tips to conservative activists posing as a pimp and prostitute.
"It's really declining revenue in the face of a series of attacks from partisan operatives and right-wing activist that have taken away our ability to raise the resources we need," ACORN spokesman Kevin Whelan said. Several of its largest affiliates, including ACORN New York and ACORN California, broke away this year and changed their names in a bid to ditch the tarnished image of their parent organization and restore revenue that ran dry in the wake of the video scandal. They will continue to operate under their new names and aren't affected by ACORN's decision to shut down. ACORN's financial situation and reputation went into free fall within days of the videos' release in September. Congress reacted by yanking ACORN's federal funding, private donors held back cash and scores of ACORN offices closed.
Federal funding....wait and see what nobama is gonna do....!!!! |

Go to the Marh 17 "The Brad Blog" and read it to see just how underhanded O'Keefe and company were.
When dealing with a criminal organization, you have to be "underhanded". Just as the FBI, Drug Task Force, Those fighting organized crime, etc. Any criticizm of anyone who fights these Acorn vermin will tend to make most honest people want to puke. |
