A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE?

You probably never heard of Darrell Issa's report on ACORN. As the ranking Republican member of the Government and Oversight Committee, he released a report in July 2009, "Report: Is ACORN Intentionally Structured As a Criminal Enterprise?"

According to a former Justice Department attorney involved in ACORN investigations, ACORN hired ex-convicts to conduct voting registrations and ACORN volunteers had a history of not turning in Republican registrations.243 According to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, ACORN not only has a history of hiring those with arrest records, but hiring embezzlers as well:

PDF pg 45 "In Milwaukee, 18 persons were sworn in as Deputy Registrars in 2004 that were convicted felons and under Department of Correction supervision. Of the 15 felons that listed a sponsoring organization, eight named ACORN as their sponsoring agency."

At last it is understandable why the Census Bureau moved so quickly to drop ACORN from the upcoming census after only one video report on FoxNews. Issa's report is dated July 2009.

And if you ever wondered how such an idiot as Ron Blagojevich was elected, look no further than PDF pgs 67-69.
