The right wing cannot do any such thing. The democrats have the majority in congress and have the leadership in the committees. The reason ACORN is going away is because the democrats allowed it to.

It wasn't really worth the political capital to fight that fight, the perception was already out there.

 

I originally got registered to vote for the first time in 2000 (and oh my f***ing god, what a bitter taste that left in my mouth, it was like losing one's virginity by being raped) by ACORN, I would bet before most, if not all, posters here ever heard of it. There was nothing corrupt going on back then. The guy was a volunteer, trying to get young black kids involved, so he stood by my high school graduation as we were leaving the church, hollering out to us and telling us we had to register to vote. Since then, that's kind of how I pictured all ACORN activists.

 

But the organizing infrastructure, and all that - I really can't see that going away, it's just going to come back as something else, it's not like the people that are honestly doing this because they're really true to what they believe are just going to pack up and go home.

ACORN's funding came from more than the government. They lost out all around.

 

 

 

They will return under a new name with the same agenda.
