Certainly some sort of investigation should be immediately started...as a matter of fact Acorn should have been investigated long before now, but I would be concerned about THIS administration's justice department doing the investigation...not sure it would be done thoroughly.

Only they should do it just a bit better than they are investigating the Voter Intimidation by the "New Black Panthers"

ACORN should be investigated and prosecuted under the RICO statutes....oh yeah, that is only used against Christians and pro-life organizations.

Why are these people getting away with this obviousmy crime????? I am sick to stomach in the way our "goverment" spends our hard earned tax monies. Who does the law work for??? The criminals or law abiding citizens??? It looks like it works for the criminals! I am appalled at what goes on in the Acorn org. For God Sakes, wake up people!!!!!!!

Acorn employees, prostitues, drug dealers, gang members, welfare for unwed mothers are the people Obama wants working people to pay for their insurance.

How many times will Acorn get caught with their hands in the cookie jar before they are investigated by the Justice Dept. This is another example of our tax dollars not being used what its was suppose to be use for.

Well Its all about cleaning up the waste,is it not? Thats alot of money being pulled out of the Tax payers pockets. Yes of course it should be investigated, and severely punished. Maybe we can get some actual help to the people who need org.s like Acorn.

A few minutes ago on TV one one guy was saying there was no crime because they were just discussing crimes. If that were the case the stings for child solicitation on line, soliciting prostitution and the like would not be a crime.

They were conspiring, giving information on how to commit a crime.

ABSOLUTLY- IN FACT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT (ERIC HOLDER) SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS TO WHY THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THE OBVIOUS CRIMMINAL ACTIVITIES OF ACORN. COULD THIS LACK OF ATTENTION BE BECAUSE OBAMA WORK FOR ACORN AS A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER ON HIS CLIMB TO CROOKED CHICAGO POLICTICS TACTICS.

2009-09-10 14:58:21 ET

If the Government needs money here is where they can get some. Quit funding organizations that are breaking the law or are even on the verge. As far as having the Justice department investigate, That department is now a joke.

ACORN, the ACLU and others are all in the business of funding their operations with taxpayer funds that should never be available to these groups. We should reread the Constitution and have the Federal Government adhere to the assignment given it without expanding its meaning to suit any purpose. I believe that each and every government agency should be audited and we should start with the offices of the senators, congressmen and women, and the office of the President. There are numerous organizations that fund groups such as the ones behind MoveOn.Org who I am certain would love to fund the ACLU and ACORN.

Okay, I just listened to the panel talk and one was mentioning there was no conspiracy because the actor playing a pimp was faking. What about all of those date line incidents where the underage person was just pretending to be underage in an effort to catch predators? Those potential preditors were actually prosecuted for their intent. This ACORN representative was willing to aid tax fraud and underage/ illegal prostitution. Why is this situation not equally illegal? ACORN should be shut down and investigated. We need to stop our tax dollar from going into this organization!

The sad thing is, these people (employees of ACORN) at this level has been taught, trained, coached, etc. as part of their job.
They are being used and paid less while the VPs use the money to futher their cause. The poor people at the bottom trying to survive will have to take the fall.

However, everyone has to be accountable and they know right from wrong and should not sell their soul for someone/organization that will throw them under the bus in the blink of an eye.

Acorn needs to be shut down!! and no more money given to them ever again by the u.s. goverment and tax payers

ACORN is a shame and a disgrace to this country, and the sooner our tax dollars are yanked away from this criminal organization, the better. I thought I was shock-proof after the election, but this org. is so far out, I have trouble believing that our ELECTED OFFICIALS even consider tolerating its criminal antics, let alone fund it! IT'S TIME TO AXE THIS CRIME RING!

Chris
2009-09-10 15:11:52 ET

Along with Acorn Eric Holder and the entire Administration should be investigated. By the FBI. They are a disgrace to this country. Obama is all fluff. I do not think he could handel a middle management possition much less President of the U.S. Out with all these socialist BUMS

It's been long over due, this group continues to make excuses to the american public, not opening up there books to the public, most americans feel Obama, or was he once berry sentora, this is another issues thats been put to the way side. This sounds like a job for Glen Beck know to americans as Mr Media. Like Glen said to viewers, key word, do your research on google.
Acorn is know for voter fraud, know tax fraud, are they breaking a law, Yes, use of goverment taxpayers dollars to promote tax fraud, jail time for acorn, start from the top, check Scott Levenson back ground, Americans need to wake up. FOXNEWS is the only form of Media the America public has for true reporting, with Zero Bias............Thankl you FOX,AMERICANS NEED FOX.

Pete
2009-09-10 15:14:03 ET

Magy - that's a good point. Media will prb look at more at the workers rather than system/VP's that instituted these practices. You can fire the people in the trenches but higher up's in acorn will march on. It’s truly sad that acorn thats suppose to help the community is doing a disservice. I myself have been in city year/americorps and the more stories i hear about this type of corruption does a dis service to people who actually are trying to help the community

2009-09-10 15:14:30 ET

ACORN needs to be investigated but like davidmc said, "Obama won't allow anyone to do anything..." It is the truth and even if Holder wanted to open an investigation our "President" would stop him, which I think would be an obstruction of the law. These people were helping "advise" about TAX FRAUD. They consulted on how to run in illegal business, illegal on a number of fronts. Prostitution is illegal almost everywhere, illegal immigrants, forced child labor, endangerment of children (even if these were only suggested), aiding and abeting criminal behavior (lots of those behaviors too), tax fraud, fraud (for housing), and I could go on and on if these two people were really and followed through! ACORN needs to be shut down, but it won't happen in this administration. There is no way that you have 11 people in Florida, 1 or more in PA and Washington state and it is just a few "bad apples." This runs far deeper than a local level because it is hard to believe that supervisors don't know what is going on and if they know it just goes up the ladder. It is pretty said, I have to say that. An organization that is supposedly politically unaffiliated, threw there endorsement behind Obama and very few people did so much as blink. They are rewarded by Obama (I think there is a legal issue there too of providing support for something in return) by being given a roll in the 2010 census...Huh, corruption, cheating, lieing, paybacks--so much for our President of Change...

I am a retired Police Detective from N.Y. and this video clearly indicates a need for the local Police and the FBI to conduct an indepth investigation, along with the local state attorney general. If I was the investigator assigned to this case I would definately bring in the people based on this video. It definately shows probable cause to make an inquiry and an arrest of the people involved. I would not trust the U.S. attorneys office at this time, until I did a complete investigation. I am sure that they will give statements, in order to make a deal to save themselves from a long jail sentence.

Loved Neal Cavuto's interviews on the Fox Business News Channel after the speech last night... he didn't let a guest speak for more than 10 seconds for fear they might expose his ill-formed and deliberately misleading for what they were.

They should have been investigated years ago when the they were protesting banks and stealing local elections. This is long over due. The justice department can arrest and close as many organizations as they want, but we are still going to face the same ideology. Close one door they will find another. One big problem is we have a President that supports and has worked for this group.

2009-09-10 15:28:32 ET

Jophn Catalano is 100% correct, an investigation is needed and would probably provide greater results if it came from local law enforcement or the FBI. Probable cause is there and action needs to be taken. Unfortunately if Baltimore or MD is run by Dems they aren't going to go against the President and muddy the water.

As for "Snow Bird-New Hampshire" impeachment won't happen, even if there is a mountain of evidence because we have a Democratically controlled Congress. Obama has almost free run right now. Plus, there would need to be a tied to him, beyond that he got is start, support and so forth from ACORN. He has to know, now if he stops or impeads the FBI, local law enforcement, Holder or anyone from conducting an investigation and prosecution then you have an issue. Even if he sends one of czars to handle it.

Again Democratically controlled Congress isn't going to do much of anything.

I have to believe this is just the initial "scratching of the surface" as to what has been happening behind the scenes. I believe that if the right organization investigates this, it will be astounding what this would reveal. My only fear is that it could instigate the beginning of a major cival dispute. Nothing against any race I have plenty of hispanic and black friends. I love both races but justice must be held with the highest regard when it comes to voting for the Worlds highest political office.

Corruption as usual in Washington. This has been going on for decades. Do we really believe that Congress is going to do a thing?
We have been shown time and time again the degrees of dishonesty and congressional corruption that exists yet we do nothing.
For heaven sakes America do something, vote them out of power and replace them. Both parties are guilty.
Power continues to corrupt most of our elected "representatives".
What has happened to HONESTY and INTEGRITY and simple "common sense"?

No I dont work for ACORN - but you might want to consider: Your tax money does NOT go to Register voters- Republican or Democrat.

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now does not apply for nor does it receive any federal grants.

ACORN has had contracts with other nonprofit organizations to perform work on projects which received federal grant support. For example, ACORN has received contracts to:

Identify families eligible to receive food stamps and assist them to apply.
Identify homeowners facing foreclosure and deliver them for housing counseling and loss mitigation services.
Provide lead paint remediation services to households with children living in older neighborhoods.
The contracts that ACORN receives on these projects are for delivering specific activities, all of which are tax-exempt qualified in accordance with federal grant guidelines. No payments are received until work product has been delivered.

None of ACORN's contracts to perform work on projects receiving federal grant money has provided funding for voter registration.

Kay
2009-09-10 15:43:00 ET

An investigation of ACORN will only be effective if the Justice Department isn't as crooked as the rest of the Obama administration.
Heaven forbid that ACORN should be in charge of the 2010 census!
Why is it that everyone who is associated with this administration cannot be trusted? We need to clean house in the 2010 and 2012 elections and impeach Obama just as soon as we think the charges will stick. Obama is the worst thing that has ever happened to this nation.

IF THE AVERAGE CITIZEN DID THAT WE WOULD BE SERVING JAIL TIME......I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THESE PEOPLE GETTING AWAY WITH ALL THIS CORRUPTION.....WHEN WILL SOMETHING BE DONE ABOUT IT?????.......THIS PRESIDENT HAS MANY FRIENDS WITH CRAZY RADICAL VIEWS AND IT IS OBVIOUS THAT HE HOLDS THE SAME VIEWS AS THEM........HOW DID THIS MAN BECOME PRESIDENT.....DID ANYONE DO A BACKGROUND CHECK ON HIM???........I SUPPOSE ACORN HELPED HIM GET ELECTED WITH THEIR BOGUS REGISTRATIONS.......THE PEOPLE OF THIS GREAT NATION MUST STAND TOGETHER AND REVOLT!!!!!!!!!

Yes most definetly this charge should be fully investigated by our Justice Department. All resources needed to completely investigate ACORN should be brought in. If the the Department of Justice is trully a non-partisan entity then this situation should be avidly pursed by our Deoartment of Justice and our Attorney General!
Mr. Holder if there was ever a situation that needed your attention this is it! Voter fraud is most definetly against the law and you Mr. Holder are the Attorney General of the United States of America. Now is the time to do YOUR JOB Sir and Investigate the ACORN organization.

Deborah
2009-09-10 16:19:23 ET

Yes Yes Yes, but don't trust this administration to do it. We may have to wait until obama is out of office and bring investigations and charges for quite a number of issues, ie. Acorn, Black Panthers, Unelected or Unvetted Radicals in our White House, Socializing our businesses, wasting our money and driving us into bankruptcy, etc. etc. etc. I'm sure there will be plenty more before the end of 3 more miserable, destructive years.

Definitely STOP giving them our money and Stop it Now!!!!!!!

Given the current Administration's connections to ACORN, I don't know how much justice the Justice Department would produce if they investigated.

2009-09-10 16:30:36 ET

I voted NO, onle because I have absolutely no faith in the AG, who has already shown his bias by not prosecuting the four acorners involved in the voter fraud in Philadelphia. This should be turned over to an independent counsel. You will not get any justice from the Justice Department unless your skin color measures up.

ruth hjelm
2009-09-10 16:38:54 ET

Why hasn't there been an ongoing investigation about ACORN? we felt all along since the elections that there was something crooked going on. What about all of the homeless that were suddenly allowed to vote using a park bench as an address. How is anyone going to be able to trace those voters? This is the first time so much corruption has been made so obvious and our fears are only compounded when we realize that there's not too much we can do about anything, because all Obama has to do is "Ignore," "Ignore," "Ignore," anything and anyone who does not agree with HIS decisions and wishes (not the people's wishes; HIS). He does not inspire confidence, because we know all he does is talk and talk ad nauseam in our faces everyday, about what he wants. We can't turn on the T.V. without fear, because everyday it's all about Obama's face and the same old nothing but talk. What is that strategy all about? He's eternally on a campaign mode on what "HE WANTS"...It feels like some sort of subliminal attempt of indoctrination in every single area of our lives. He's like an Octopus, invading and infiltrating everything about our lives. It's suffocating. When do ever hear about how he's going to go about defending the country? It was so refreshing to look at President Bush's "Looking back" video, he looks better all the time when we compare him with what we have today. Has anyone noticed how Obama doesn't do much or say much to honor our troops like President Bush did? The next thing we are going to see is that everything the Obama administration want to do, they will persistently and determinedly do in small steps and increments. There is much to fear, because all this president will do is lip-service to listening to what ALL Americans want. It's so obvious he's not interested in anything but his own agenda. Before you know it, he will try to block the media and install his own government propaganda channels. He is all about his own personal agenda and propaganda. Why doesn't he have at least a 10 hour session in which people can ask him questions and listen to their side? (without filtering the audience to make sure only his fans are allowed in). We've had endless hours of having to listen to his side of things only. He is a dividing force on top of everything else we have to deal with...This administration's strategy has been a continuous self-serving campaign. We may need to improve some things about the old America because nothing is perfect, but we don't need to invent or recreate it into the new version, something born out of the mind of a charismatic talker who is taking advantage of a country filled with economic misfortunes and terrorist challenges. People in great need will listen to almost anyone or anything that promises them a reprieve from misery and a bleak future whether the promises are real or not. That has been Obama's strength so far, he has been capitalizing on the desperation of people. What concrete evidence is there that he has helped or will significantly help the majority of individuals? HE DOES NOT LISTEN TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE, he doesn't have time for that, but he has a lot of time to show his face on T.V. for his own benefit, WHAT KIND OF PRESIDENT IS THAT? I can't get that "People of the world" remark of his during the campaign, that's what he is all about, to be historical, to be nice to the worst of America's enemies (what the heck is that about, what president in his right mind would do that - Hugo Chavez????, what a slap on the face of my ex-marine brother who has died recently and my now retired Coast Guard officer brother). This president is all about his own personal fame, his hunger for power and to keep that power at all cost - mostly at the cost of the American people. His door is not "open" publicly, because he has an obscure agenda. Yes, we have a lot more to fear these days. All future presidential candidates should also have an ongoing campaign now already, just for balance.

What the he*l is it going to take to finally get these clowns DFEDERALLY PROSECUTED?!? Before the election, there were 16, SIXTEEN states, that alleged voter registration FRAUD, yet to my knowledge, nothing has been done to date. And, most people who don't follow politics would not know that ACORN rec'd over $8 BILLION, yes BILLION in TAXPAYER FUNDS from the so called "stimulus bill" -- it's a shame and I'm fed up as an American! People, get involved. Your country is being stolen by socialist radicals before your very eyes. Obama was a community organizer (agitator) with ACORN for years and I'm sure has a hand in getting those pesky fraud allegations to disappear. How ironic. There is no way the clowns are ACORN can try to explain this pimpin' tape, or criticize it as "gotcha" journalism (no, that would be what Charlie Gibson did to Sarah Palin when he arrogantly asked her about the Bush Doctrine -- bye Charlie!). Know your elected officials, local, state and federal and SPEAK UP! Check out: www.vote-smart.org -- you can find all your elected official's name, contact info, etc. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem! Remember, the far left radicals are relying on your lack of knowledge and apathy to push through their socialist agenda!

A,ll the comments I have read, I agree with practically everyone 100% , they have all said it for me, this acorn should have been investigated during the campaign, all was a bunch of fraud then and still is, Ohama is one of their biggest owners or fan, and look at all the stimulas money (our tax dollars) that they are getting to run this outrageous company lending and giving people money that do not qualified like giving free handouts to who ever! Ludicrous what is happening to our country if it wasn't so sad and defintely wrong, it has to be stopped.

Again, ACORN *IS* being investigated by Darrell Issa. I've seen no coverage of this. He's fighting an uphill battle alone, but some pressure and coverage from the media is in order. If not, 2010 might be a complete joke. More of our tax dollars spent on an organization that so obviously has no respect for ethic or law. Issa fights for us, so why aren't we supporting him?

2009-09-10 17:11:18 ET

ACORN and all of its tributaries (all 361 companies), and APOLLO, LEAKS, SEIU and GEORGE SOROS the top of the organizations eventually report up to Obama.

ACORN and its THUGS have received Billions of Tax Payer dollars to collect the data for the 2010 census then report back to Geithner (TURBO TAX CHEAT).

ACORN and the SEIU ACTIVISTS are creating chaos at the townhall meetings, a confrontation with a peaceful black suffered critical injuries, a more recent

skirmish triggered by an angry SEIU ATIVIST who bit off the baby finger of a man protecting himself.

The leaders of the organizations are 60's Radicals and Black Racists all with the same mind set as Jones.

Obama clearly wants to use these THUGS to bully people in all states; a campaign speach had Obama stating that he wanted his minions to be as strong and well

funded AS OUR MILITARY - WHAT? WHY?

It is Mr. B.Obama, and his Administration, who should be investigated. ACORN is just a tool in the hands of criminals and criminal-affiliated burocrats. I am sure there will be a lot more to recover while the real investigation is in progress.

Kathryn
2009-09-10 17:22:23 ET

I thought about suggesting that all people take a month off work, in effect go on "Strike" until the US Gov. repeals the 787 Billion$, dismantles and stops funding all of ACORN, etc. Slow Obama Nation=Abomination way down. But then I reasoned that if all business owners lay off their workers...the employees could draw unemployment...and still make a "Stand". No revenue...no gov't jobs. In my mind this is the only control we have until 2010, when we can vote again. THIS HEALTH CARE THING IS A DISTRACTION. Look at the other bills coming out w/out us knowing...such as HR 875 (massive changes to FDA, regarding all FOOD ("...a product intended to be used for food or drink for a human or an animal and components thereof"), regarding any "factory, warehouse, or faciity owned or operated by a person located in any State that processes food, or a faciity that holds, stores, or transports food or food ingredients.". That could include me...a small 10 acre farmer who raises her own sheep, chickens, and organic garden. US Govt is trying to take control/ownership of all United States water! Our State Govt's are working just as fast as US Gov't in cramming things through!! I live in Oregon...which is also controlled by Democrats this year. I personally know an Oregon Representative (Republican) who is just as frustrated as the GOP Republicans. Yes, I'm a Conservative. That's why all my bills are paid on time. And I have a small savings. I conserve.

YES, they should be in investigated. And they are the ones that helped get Obama elected. Give me a break--the election was so rigged it was not funny.

Acorn should absolutely be investigated and it should be done immediately. Why they have not been investigated before this is obvious to most informed Americans. I do not believe however, that this Administration is capable of carrying out a clean, honest investigation given what we have seen so far. I believe the FBI should do something unless they to are a part of this secret society that seems to have invaded our governments highest offices.

This is the same group Obama is senting out to do our 2010 cenus. You can guess what the outcome will be with this group doing it. We will never have to worry about the outcome of any election again, we only will have to find out who Acorn is backing and you will know the winner before you ever vote.

Insurrection n. 1. an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government.

US constitution Article 1. Section 8. (the powers of congress) - To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions;

Acorn's mission statement used to read - to put enough people on the welfare roles so as to cause a collapse of the system and chaos to erupt.

Acorn should be investigated and everyone who works for them should be sent to gitmo as domestic terrorists.

ACORN is a street gang of thugs, Same as the Black Panthers, The differnce in them and the gangs in prison. Is exactly this, they are a product of Obam and his gang of socialists, domestic terrorist, radicals,communist and revolutionist.
Anything ACORN, etc do, goes right back to Obama. He is the one who has gotten billions$ of taxpayer moneys. They have a funeral home in New Orleans , that receieved 170 taxpayer checks to this one address. And no one absolutley no one has done anything.
If theystep one foot on my property, i'll call the police and the FBI, and Homeland Security, They are domestic terrorist, and they will come back to rob, or burn us out. Or since they feel the power of the chosen one, extermination will become a factor, (Sunstein, Holdren Jones etc)
Ameri corps is another thug organization , 5 billion$, move on .org. progress america, George Soros, Jones moved his desk to there/.
This and many more are all obamas orgs.
I Health act, has absolutely nothing to do with health care its pure election payback. Ad corps, corps that advise, insurance corps. Andthe worse ofthe lot all of the UNIONS, Illegals, La RAZA,.
It all has to do with enforcement of mandates, skimming moneys under the pretext of makinga health plan viable. Well you take one consultant firm and 50 layer firms, and their fees for the first year will come to ver 50 billion, And that does not include the Apollo Alliance and many more communist orgs. Who arestabdingin line, Includingthe Democratic controlled Mafia Congress.

If the Dept. of Justice does not do something, then it will be THEM who should be charged for ignoring OBVIOUS crime committed by the President's friends.

We, the taxpayers of the USA, just gave ACORN 3.5 BILLION DOLLARS in the "stimulus bill"! Obama should be charged with giving his friends this money fraudulently and for no good reason, impeached, and imprisoned!

Jan Adams

Sure they should be investigated and should have long ago. But they will never be investigated under this administration. I think that by not investigating shows that the administration is fearful of what might be found if too much probing is done. Makes the government look pretty guilty of something.

I believe Acorn should be fully investigated as well as President Obama's connections with them. A full investigation needs to come from congress on his choice of czars as well. This should have been done before the election in '08.

Can the Justice Department under Eric Holder be trusted to do this investigation? I don't think so. The President dismissed an Inspector General who was probing areas sensitive to the president. He was dismissed with no justification. The Justice Department is not independent enough. Acorn needs to be investigated by an impartial authority. Taxpayer money supporting should stop immediately.

Acorn, SEIU and other politically motivated groups should not be allowed to take the Census away from the Commerce Department. Congress can and should stop these organizations from undermining our form of government.

Brittney

This is outrageous that our tax dollars are paying for ACORN, a government organization that condones misconduct and fraud within our system. My vote would be to investigate ACORN and think long and hard what they really are standing up for: I can certainly say this was bad timing- right after Obama gives his Ra Ra speech for Health care reform, we receive news about an organization the President has defended. Can we still trust our President?

I think if you take a very goode look at all of the government officials you will find corruption everywhere. Caught with their hands in the cookie jar....Calling the kettle black?

The ACORN employees not only instruct the person posing as a prostitute on duping the government, but they tell her friend who wants to run for a political office how to launder money.

GEE.. wasn't Obama ACORN's lawyer instructing them on how to run a community organization.

There definitely needs to be an investigation.

ACORN should be shut down with no funding until the Justice Dept. finds out how crooked this community organization is and who is behind their illegal behavior.

Hey, I see all these wonderful comments about how this corruption needs to be stopped. But we need specific action to stop it. Talk is great, but what exactly can we DO? Ideas? Writing or calling our representatives in Congress is all well and good, but is anyone listening? I don't sense that they are taking it seriously. Both sides are so interested in their own personal goals and are fogetting what their jobs really are - to represent their constituents, the majority of whom are clearly not happy. Other than voting people out in 2010, what else?

Acorn should be investigated. Also taxpayers' money should be suspended for funding this crooked organization. Acorn should have nothing to do with 2010 census....nada....nil!!!!! Also more investigation into Black Panters intimidating people at polls. Is there a law abiding citizen associated with this administration? Are all organizations associated with this administration just communists, socialists, or marxists? Congress better wake up.....since they don't read bills, there may be a small sentence somewhere that states they no longer have any powers and they will vote their powers away and what little checks and balances this country still has......only the czars will report to president......heck, they already do, don't they? As for health care reform, the gov. knows employers will drop ins. and employees will have to go with gov. This administration is selling out this country, and my heart breaks every day because I had a father and a husband who fought for our freedoms. Now those freedoms are being taken away by home-grown thugs!!!!

Acorn is nothing but a black political arm of the Democrates and this Administration, and you can bet that with them doing censes that there will be a lot more black politicians elected from districks, the lines will have a dramatic different look after these crooks are finished.

Of course they should be investigated, but they wont be. Obama, Congress or their political supporters are above the law. The law only applies to us serfs. They laugh at us when we ask them to read the bill, but they will tell us that ignorance of the law is no excuse. They get a pass for not paying their taxes, but they call us selfish and tell us we need to pay our "fair share" and will gladly take everything we own or put us in jail if we don't. They tell us we must make sacrifice, but they order $100 steaks at the white house. They call the protesters at the town halls angry mobs, but it was an Obama supporter who assaulted a protester by biting his finger off. Their behavior is truly disgraceful. Pray for the safety of that brave young woman, Mr. O'Keefe and for our country.

I think that if Acorn was a republican group instead of supporting democrats they would have been shut down YEARS ago. They never would have been a loud to do anything. There is such a double standard in this country. They say Bush stole elections.....but I really didn't hear too much about Acorn stealing an election for Obama. That must have been ok.? I really hope that someone can investigate this.....but I doubt anyone will. It will probably take investigating from the concerned citizens and REAL reporters who arent afraid of stepping on a few toes and then releasing it to the public. I guess the average citizens are going to have to start taking a stand and outing the corrupt people that are supposed to be helping us and this country. I give a lot of credit to the reporter and gal that had the courage to check Acorn out. I hope that when it comes time for the elections that we all have the courage to take that stand and get people in the government that will look out for the citizens that elect them and not just look out for themselves. And that goes for both sides of the aisle.

Not only should ACORN be investigated; but if the organization is found to be as heavily involved in criminal activities as it appears tobe from the TV clips on Fox then ACORN should be cut off from any further government funding, including any tax exempt status, and the whole D------ bunch prosecuted vigorously under the law. Do I think Holder will do it? Hell NO! It will be just like the "Black Panther' voting episode. God help America - we've got a real serious problem.

Since ACORN says that the corruption is just isolated incidents with a few rogue employees the Justice department should investigate every incident that ACORN has been involved in over the past 5 years and see how deep the corruption goes.

Investigate all ACORN employees, the leadership, the citizens they have helped, and all special interests (including corporations and politicians) that have had any dealings with them over the last 5 years.

Then anyone and everyone that has done anything illegal should be indicted, charged, and sentenced. If we run out prison rooms, we can allocate as much of the 8 Billion dollars allotted to organizations such as ACORN to build a massive facility in ANWAR to hold them.

Who knows, if we are ever able to drill for oil there we will have all of the prison labor we need readily available.

Shelly

Now that ACORN is gathering census data nationwide, they will be able to register all these illegal voters they find. So Chicago election fraud will be nationwide by 2012.

James Scales
2009-09-10 19:11:31 ET

For a fact they should be investigated. But I will not be holding my breath for it to happen and even if it is, there will be no prosecution. The Voter Intimidation by the "New Black Panthers" case was investigated. Even after the government had already won a default judgment against the individuals, involved career civil right lawyers, at the Justice Department, who had worked the case for five months, had recommended seeking sanctions against the National Black Panther Party and three of its members, the Justice Department leadership “ultimately recommended dropping the case against two of the men and the party and seeking a restraining order against the one man who wielded a nightstick at the Philadelphia polling place.”
Ms. Loretta King, a career senior executive service official, is generally labeled as the person responsible for dropping the case. At the time of this decision she was "acting Assisting Attorney General' appointed by the president. That sounds like a political position to me but the Justice Department says the decision to drop was not political for it was made by a career official. Does anyone believe that line? The last time I read anything on this, members of congress had not been "permitted" to speak with the investigating career civil right lawyers at the Justice Department.
Folks we are talking about one of our the most important rights here -free and honest elections.
If Fox News wants another real story - take on that nest of vipers - but wear long, heavy gloves and hold on tight - I think they will bite back.

ACORN's new video should be enough evidence to suspend any further "business" they can carry on. They need to have ALL of their assets frozen to prevent anyone from evading justice. Round them all up and have their bail set (not by money) on ACORN properties. If they run, ACORN begins it's losses. The cascade would start and they would continue to lose ground as each thug runs. Then we have the final associates, such as Obama, to be questioned. Hmmm, I wonder where that would lead.

2009-09-10 20:26:47 ET

Oh Oh sure yes of course, why did FBI leave them alone ??. Something are wrong systems inside FBI and Obama DEAL ???. FBI really cannot miss point where are ACORNS are in America, no excuses !. also Obama's favorite with ACORNS busines for long long time ago till today. today I saw FOX NEWS that Obama's STIMULUS ACORNS received another $8.5 Billions for them to help PIMPING BUSINESS DEAL WITH poor people and immigrants. !!!, Why Why Why ???. What and where are FBI DOING SO FAR ?, sound nothing !. Same thing to Obama,FBI doing nothing too.
I support this time of right now to investigate more carefully and jail them since cheating votes etc. Also need to investigate on HOME LAND SECURITY Federal Election Commissioners too and possibility Supreme Court Judges and Clerks and others.
We all American Citizens request immediately !!. All congress men and women too except few congress are good and Patriots.
We need biggest sweep them off and clear and new congress for all of American Citizens
and request our COUNTRY BACK TO EVERY AMERICAN CITIZENS !! NOT FOR ENEMIES.

Where is the IRS and the FBI. These agencies should be investigating ACORN. If ACORN is doing what we have seen today on Fox we should be concerned about what else is being done that has not yet been revealed. Oh, I just remembered that neither the IRS or the FBI can investigative ACORN because Attorney General Holder will probably not approve such an investigation. But where is Congress? Why not appoint a special prosecutor to look into this. I am tired of paying taxes so that ACORN can continue to circumvent our criminal laws and tax code.

Just watched GB and saw the video...all I can say is Oh My God, please help this country! Why isn't anyone reporting on this and why are they not being investigated. Because they are supported by the SEIU and the Administration? Where are the elected politians of this country? Why will no one in Washington stand up and demand the investigation? Those two women should go to prison for giving support and advice on starting an illegal operation, tax evasion and pedophelia. THIS IS SICK Where are the values and morals of this country? I wished the elected would get out of the beds of special interest, unions etc.. and get in with bed with WE THE PEOPLE!!!

ACORN is part of a FAR LEFT underground which is trying to takeover the United States. There are several other "underground/community organizer" groups in collaboration with ACORN which are in all out war against the United States. The people in these organizations actually think they are doing good! I believe that the anti-christ is the one behind this movement.

It's time we take this into our own hands and quit depending on the media like Fox to fight our fight. If we just sit back and hope this goes away it's gonna be to late. This administration is going to take your money in the form of taxes and give it to those who sit on their ass@s so the Govt can support them. Acorn and Seiu will continue to defraud the Govt until you have no rights left as the Constitution states.

I am sure that they will not find anything out of the ordinary since the AG has already refused to prosecute voter intimidation. A better question is "should we investigate the Justice Department and who is non-partisan enough to come to a HONEST judgment.

WHAT A PACK OF LIES! Fox News just stirs up anything. Acorn has done SO MUCH GOOD for our country, affordable housing, supporting better schools, FAIR housing. Maybe there a very few bad people there out of the many many who work there. But why tarnish this great organization because of a few people. Republicans will pick something they don't like, usually because it doesn't make them money, and look and poke until they find something wrong. Then they try to shut it down. Fox News is the worst and republicans are right with them.

As a taxpayer of this country I would want to know that my money isn't being used for encouraging someone to set up an illegal prostitution ring using children and if you are ok with then you are one sick person.

darlene, certainly there are only a few bad apples. let the police handle it. they can do an investigation just like any other case. As a taxpayer of this country i don't want MY money being wasted on some republican witchhunt. Put my tax money towards healthcare for all, something of value. But maybe we should let Fox News investigate. They could put Bill O'Reilly in charge.

Why is it the other major news stations don't cover this story allowing their followers to vote and openly discuss the ACORN video as Fox has done? I would be interested to see if their followers would vote 99% for NO investigation. I think they must fear the answer.

Sandy
2009-09-10 22:55:44 ET

The time is long past due for the Congress to initiate an investigation, along with the Justice Dept. into ACORN. I have seen enough of their under-handed, illegal actions. In fact, I think that Congress should have insisted on an investigation into ACORN'S activities, before approving funding for them from our tax dollars. Do they have no shame????
The time has come for this Congress to be replaced. Yes, thrown out on their behinds. It's time for honest, hard-working Americans to take over Washington and get rid of the corrupt, power hungry Representatives and Senators who somehow keep getting elected. It's time for Americans to start thinking about who they are voting for. There is not much time left. Soon, there will be no way for America to survive.

Acorn will simply state that these are 'rogue employees' acting on their own, and that they do not condone such actions and they'll be off the hook as they throw their employees under the bus! This is the way it works, folks, for all those in this country who have something to hide and do not possess the American qualities of integrity and honesty. By the way, if you recall, wasn't it Obama himself who trained Acorn "in the beginning"?

Sure they fired the two Acorn ladies on the video.....the leaders need to go...all they will do is replace the two that were let go and the beat goes on and on and on.

whitenoise
2009-09-10 23:29:53 ET

I think what we need to do is this. Instead of raising taxes we should start with Obamas spending.......If he wants to throw parties in honor of himself, he should pay for it out of his own pocket. Instead of having 30 czars and counting we should limit him to no more than 12, if he wants to go on vacation and use Air Force One, he should pay for the fuel out of his own pocket, the same with clothing.

Since every first lady before Michelle has gotten by having only 2-3 assistants, and she has 118 at a whopping 1.5 million plus of tax paying dollars, get rid of the other 115 assistants.

Congress should go around and pay the bad checks that are still outstanding. They have what is called go-fors. People who run around picking up dry cleaning, hand delivering notes, fetching their food, so forth and so on. They make around 100k a year or more. The go-fors have assistancts for what they can't get done. So we tell congress to get off their lazy butts and do this themselves. We fire all go-fors and their assistants.

We get rid of all the corrupt congress men and women that cheat on their taxes. We need to hold the accountable. (Charlie Rangler also)

I'm tired of my tax paying dollars going to pay for their own personal things. Instead of telling "We the people" to tighten our belts.......they should tighten their own belts. They don't need 5 different homes in the U.S. and else where. They don't need 20 different cars either.

One more thing.....I am really sick of him making threats to everyone who diagrees with him. And doing what he threatens to do. I don't remember even one president that has done this. Why does he feel he's so different? He seems to keep forgetting that we are a free country, we are not under his dictatorship. We hired him so to speak and we can impeach him.

No matter what race we are, what our political backgrounds are, or what our station is in life, we need to come together and start handing out pink and peach slips. He has lost the trust of this country and no matter how many applogies that are made and saying they didn't know about this or that.......we need to hold Obama and Congress accountable.

We need to wake up everyone, or we will lose our rights one by one.

With Obama and congress trying to blitz us with 20 things at once and to conquer and divide us, we need to watch everything he and congress are doing that we don't see.

ACORN should be investigated nation-wide. The Baltimore, MD., event was the topper!

My wife and I were shocked to death. I've just sent emails to our elected officials from Michigan, urging them to back an investigation of ACORN.

After all, had it not been for Oprah Winfrey and ACORN, Obama would not have been elected to the Presidency. And with her billions, did Oprah Winfrey fund ACORN, as well, to help Obama become the first African-American to be elevated to the Presidency?

Good question, I think. ACORN and Oprah are worthy of investigation.

On the other hand, if you think about it, with Eric Holder as Obama's appointee to lead the Department of Justice (DOJ), wouldn't an investigation by DOJ be akin to having the proverbial fox guard the proverbial hen-house? Any investigation by DOJ would be tainted, I think.

Let's face it, the Senate should demand a special prosecutor be chosen to lead an investigation into ACORN. Include Oprah Winfrey, as well. After all, any investigation worth its salt should be done by independent counsel. Any investigation needs to "follow the money" and let the chips fall where they may.

And the IRS should launch its own investigation of ACORN simply because the Baltimore branch of ACORN was caught on tape helping the undercover "pimp" and his "prostitute" skirt the IRS laws. As the saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words!"

Fox News, you can be certain, vetted its sources prior to running this sickening story. And this story, by the way, should make each an every honest, tax paying American mad as hell! I'm mad as hell, and I did something about it. As stated earlier, I sent my views to my Members of Congress from Michigan.

I urge every conservative American who cares about what is going on to do the same. The liberals can go to hell, and this country is going to hell in a hand-basket. It makes me sick, since I served honorably in the military for 20 years and almost 20 years in the Federal Government as a "Civil Servant."

The Congressional make up is going to change in 2010, when Republicans once again will control Congress. Then we can say "goodbye" to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. Just imagine Nancy Pelosi as President should (God forbid) something happen to Obama and Biden. What a sobering thought to have Nancy Pelosi anywhere near the "football" - which, if you do not know - holds all the nuclear launch codes. Oh, my God!

Do something constructive - complain to your Congressional delegation as I did. To do absolutely nothing do not say you were not warned.

Fox News keep up the good work! The mainstream media in this country doesn't have the guts to report the news in a "fair and balanced" manner as Fox News does. In my book, Fox News team is number one!

Yes, by all means. Investigate the whole arganization beacuse two out of at least 14 people who were set up in a documentary-style sting broke the law.

While we're at it we can also start investigating the GOP. More than a few of theit family-values candidates have been involved in countless infringments of the law. For instance, Larry Craig still holds office, regardless of his foot's indescretions in an Airport bathroom.

While you're all congratulating each other on having a protected little corner of circular reasoning and half-truths called FoxNews, the rest of the country, ie around 70% are laughing at you.

Chauncey Grizzly
2009-09-11 15:58:58 ET

Don't any of you sheeple read anything other than FoxNews?

Let me help you here...to those worried about their tax dollars: Not one cent of your tax dollars goes to ACORN. So quit complaining.

To those worried about the election Obama "stole" with ACORN... ACORN was found to be registering people like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, ect. The volunteers signed up these names to meet their quota. Any 8th grader, however can tell you that you need an ID and valid SS # to cast your vote...so unless a landslide victory of millions of people had IDs with the name Mickey Mouse, with attached SS # were able to cast a vote, you can throw that theory out the window.

And the big one: SOCIALISM IS NOT A FORM OF GOVERNMENT. Look it up in a dictionary, anywhere else than here, you might realize how silly you all sound.

2009-09-11 16:18:32 ET

To quote Brigette Gabriel: "When we keep our heads buried in the sand then we make a rather large target out of our rear-ends." Of course Acorn should be investigated. But by who? I am not currently working for a government agency but I have worked in government in the past for over 12 years and I am very skeptical based on personal observation. There are good and honest people in government just like I am sure the Acorn group has good and honest people. The corruption and power is almost always evident in those who have been given to much power.

Margaret J

Well of course there needs to be an investigation - but not by our current administration - Bringing little 16 yr olf girls from El Salvadore - and laughingly telling them they shouldn't be discussing this in the first place?
DO THEY NOT REALIZE THERE IS A GOD IN HEAVEN - the ONE AND ONLY TRUE GOD - who is bringing judgement on the entire NATION due to the head of the nation's decisions and for allowing all this to continue?

I am truly concerned about what's about to happen to our Nation due to all this junk going on - mind you - it's not been something that hasn't gone on, but never to this degree. This new administration is so liberal, it's going to affect GOOD WELL MEANING folks like you and I when an earthquakes shakes this nation - just remember this blog - this is only part of what happens when you allow unGodly ppl to lead your country - I am SO GLAD I did not vote the Obama ticket - and I cannot wait till 2012 to VOTE AGAINST HIM AGAIN - WE NEED AN AWAKENING TO GOD! it's the only thing thats going to save this Great Nation - so sad all this stuff - they will pay for their actions.....they will certainly pay.

The fact is, ACORN does receive Government money. What they say they use it for, and what it's actually used for, should be a job for the FBI to figure out. They are supposedly non-partisan, but the evidence is overwhelming that they are anything but. Their workers actively promoted Obama at ACORN rallies during the run up to the election, and strangely enough the massive incidents of voter fraud all seemed to go in the Democrats favor. They should be investigated, prosecuted at the highest levels if they are guilty, and shut down. I seriously doubt that will happen, but we can hope for some change. :}

One question I would like someone to ask, is how many Federal Prosecutors are left over from President Bush's tenure? We know Clinton fired every single one of them when he took office, and I am wondering if Obama did the same thing when he took office. Heaven knows that we can't count on the mainstream media to tell us if he did, since he's a Democrat, but let Gonzales fire 5 of em for not doing their jobs, and everyone goes nuts.

Makes a person wonder why they haven't been investigated long ago. The
housing loans that have and more to come that are running banks out
of business, voter fraud charges in several states. Acorn has gone inter-
national recently. How much more harm will be done before they stop this
group that has taken over Acorn and turned it into a money machine. They
are set to get 2 billion more from our government. We must vote carefully
in the next election to rid ourselves of this corruption. I have never seen
so many Americans citizens treated like dirt by the men and women who
work for us. It is time for a government cleanout and time for the crooks
to go.

2009-09-13 05:15:02 ET

Yes, Acorn should be investigated. I have stopped banking at the Bank of America since I found out about Acorn and their motives about six months ago. I wrote to Ken Lewis then CEO for B of A. He was fired by Barry Soetoro Hussein. I am planning a demostration for the bank in Placerville, CA. as soon as I get enough people together to make an impression. You see, B of A contributes millions to Acorn. I have been to the police station to find out my right as a demonstrator and they said I was correct in my handling the layout. I think they should investigate your president too, as I think he is as crooked as a cork-screw. What a piece of junk. This guy Barry Soetoro Hussein is a really beauty. Wilson was absolutly correct in calling Barry a LIAR. He is a LIAR. His administration will go down along with this country as the biggest joke ever. He should be impeached without a doubt. No good person.

I think one of the posters has this correct. This is the TIP of the iceberg. A can of worms has been opened. I am just a grandma in Texas and nothing is making sense anymore. I question everything coming out of the Whitehouse now and with the mainstream media, President Obama himself ignoring the corruption at ACORN and from what was shown on Fox, how can the President comment on a professor and a cop and not absolutely on this organization who gets our tax money AND IGNORE IT? It makes me furious. How the democrats vote on how rude Sen Wilson was when Sen Rangel has certainly dishonored his office? Wake up people. And I mean wake up. They say anything but the truth in my opinion. Didn't your mother tell you to not believe everything a person says? It is the action, not the words.

2009-09-21 02:09:55 ET

At this time Acorn is being investigated. But who is investigating the investigators? Can we really trust anyone to do the job? We have to monitor things ourselves and not take it for granted it will be taken care of by them. Look at what happened in the election. Barry Soetoro Hussein got elected by fraud and deceit. Plus, just plain ignorance and people who want something for nothing. Tell me if I'm wrong I have an open mind. All and any associated with this corrupt group Acorn should be investigated. This includes your president. I say yours because he will never be mine. None of his people will be either. No, I don't mean black people I mean anyone who is under his administration or supports him in any way. The SEIU, Apollo, Fannie May and Freddie Mac, (two real suspect names) and RICO. Throw out ALL of the crooks, takers, frauds and un-American people. We don't need or want them. We never did. Anyone who is trying to change this country this much and this fast can only be up to no good. No more immigration period. That makes it un-bias. Not only Mexicans, all people. If and when we straighten this mess out we can start letting people back in the country with heavy restrictions. That's how it should be. Concerned AMERICAN,
