The Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (ACORN) is linked to yet ANOTHER scandal involving members. The far left group was caught on video tape telling a prostitute and pimp how to cheat on their taxes and how to prostitute underage, El Salvadorian girls out. According to BigGovernment.com, who uncovered the footage, an undercover filmmaker named James O’Keefe and an associate, posed as a pimp and a prostitute during a visit to ACORN’s Baltimore office. The ACORN employees told the prostitute to call herself a “performing artist” and to doctor her IRS forms to reflect $9600 in income, versus the $96,000 that she told them. The pimp then asks ACORN about bringing 13 underage El Salvadorian girls into the United States to work in the prostitution ring. The employees say that it is illegal, but suggests putting three of them on their tax returns as dependents and since the other 9 simply do not exist, then no one will know.
Scott Levenson, a spokesman for ACORN said this about the incident: "The portrayal is false and defamatory and an attempt at gotcha journalism. This film crew tried to pull this sham at other offices and failed. ACORN wants to see the full video before commenting further."
There are some serious issues here. First ACORN receives government money to do their “community work.” They have received over $50 million so far, of our tax dollars, and under the stimulus they are eligible for millions more. Also, the Obama Administration plans on using the organization to help with the census next year, despite their history of voter fraud, and pay them to do it! Just yesterday, 11 ACORN workers were arrested in Miami for turning in 900 registrations for new voters.
ACORN is a far left, radical organization. President Obama is a fan of them back from his days as a “community organizer,” and their whole purpose last year was to get him elected. They claim to be nonpartisan, although never have supported a Republican, Independent, Libertarian, or other third party in any race. They exist to support Democrats and to mobilize minorities and poor people to vote for the Democrats. The group routinely registers people who do not exist and their goal is "working together for social justice and stronger communities," according to their website. ACORN needs to be investigated for criminal misconduct and have their members locked up. Republicans and law enforcement have tried to investigate them, but Democrats have blocked the effort. I wonder why?
Here is some of the video clip showing the shocking evidence against ACORN:
