Louisiana Attorney General's Office tells ACORN - Show Me The Money (the books and the corporate records)
Nov 6th 2009
“If ACORN hopes to survive then the know nothing, see nothing, do nothing board of directors must by replaced by individuals with the strength and capabilities to fulfill their fiduciary obligations and the courage to reign in corruption within ACORN’s senior management ranks” continues Reid.
“ACORN as we know it today is finished. It’s a 40 year old business model that never adopted to changing political times or new technology” McCray continues, “and a do nothing board of directors can not operate such a high-profile multi-national corporation.”
ACORN is still reeling after a barrage of bad press and negative government reaction following undercover videos of “pimps and prostitutes” seeking ACORN assistance; and is desperately struggling to remove itself from this legal imbroglio.
In a letter that ACORN Attorney Schwartz sent to “ACORN Friend’s in the Legal Community” stating, “We need some top-notch bankruptcy advice and maybe representation. The reorganization may involve the creation of new nonprofit entities in each state where ACORN functions, as ACORN considers moving from a centralized corporate structure to a decentralized federated structure. ACORN will need help from people who have handled rebranding …”
“That’s like putting lipstick on chitterlings” states McCray, “If ACORN was afraid of the independent audit and forensic examination which eight ACORN board members demanded; I can’t imagine what they will do once a U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee is appointed to investigate ACORN.” Read more here.

I remember having a conversation a while back with someone here on Gather who insisted Working Families absolutely was not associated with ACORN - after allllll they never heard that on any of the legitimate news shows they watched so it must not be a fact ... +sigh+
Well, they are ACORN and ACORN is Working Families is SEIU is ... they might as well be one and the same -- All the majors (ACORN, SEIU, Working Families) are represented on this page except for one of course ... check it out here.

I forgot to mention that the WFP and ACORN operate from the same office in Brooklyn, and share funds and personnell. There were candidate's names on a board, in the background of the NYC "pimp" videos, fer cryin' out loud!
