Anyone who is serious about knowing about ACORN should look aand at least be aware of some of these links... There are 631 Organizations under the ACORN group of "non-profits"....

Link to these here: capitalresearch.org A couple of articles (out of many dozens of articles) about ACORN: capitalresearch.org CRC Highlight Matthew Vadum’s Townhall Magazine Article on ACORN Townhall magazine has published Matthew Vadum's article on ACORN in the August issue. The article is called, "Stealing Democracy," and with permission from the magazine, we repost the article here. (PDF) Here is the beginning of the article: In the parallel universe occupied by many left-of-center Americans, the increasingly controversial Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) is a high-minded poor people’s group similar to crusading civil rights groups of the 1960s. They believe ACORN is a public-spirited organization that registers the poor to vote and encourages citizen involvement in morally uplifting projects and community development. They believe it spurs production of affordable housing, protects tenants’ rights, keeps unjustly exploited borrowers in their homes and rages against predatory lenders. They believe it fights for the rights of workers, immigrants and utility ratepayers. But it does so much more. When the extortion and vote fraud conglomerate ACORN isn’t busing schoolchildren to the nation’s capital to protest proposed tax cuts, it’s busy campaigning to expand the size and scope of government, raising the dead from cemeteries and leading them to the voting booth, and promoting the so-called Fairness Doctrine in order to bludgeon conservative-dominated talk radio. [...] CRC Highlight New Michelle Malkin Book "Culture of Corruption" Spotlights CRC Research capitalresearch.org In her new book Culture of Corruption: Obama and his team of tax cheats, crooks, and cronies, bestselling author Michelle Malkin highlights the work of Capital Research Center and of its senior editor Matthew Vadum on ACORN. From the acknowledgements at page 292: Several organizations left, right, and center deserve singling out for their principled and unwavering dedication to transparency, open government, and accountability. This book drew on the vital research by the National Right to Work Foundation, Capital Research Center, Employment Policy Institute, and Center for Responsive Politics. Many individual whistleblowers provided invaluable information, but I'd like to give special thanks to Anita MonCrief for her enormous courage and vigilance on ACORN corruption --and to Mike Gaynor and Matthew Vadum for their foresight and insight in reporting on the story when no one else would. [emphasis added] Glenn Beck interviewed Malkin on his radio show and on his TV show about her book. On TV Malkin said the radical left-wing group ACORN and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) are in the forefront of an effort to radically transform America and are “intimately” and “inextricably” linked. The far-left SEIU is “a union that has remade itself in the 21st century to recruit the next generation of Democrat and hard-left foot soldiers,” she said. Here is the video from the "Glenn Beck Program": CRC's Matthew Vadum has been on the "Glenn Beck Program," the "G. Gordon Liddy Show," and plenty of other programs many times talking about ACORN.
