ACORN announces internal investigation.
ACORN announces internal investigation.
In response to recently released videos of ACORN staff engaging in inappropriate and potentially unlawful activity, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said today that “the conduct you see on those tapes is completely unacceptable.” ACORN President Bertha Lewis released a statement explaining that the advocacy group for low- and moderate-income Americans will now conduct a “thorough review” of the organizations’ operation:
As a result of the indefensible action of a handful of our employees, I am, in consultation with ACORN’s Executive Committee, immediately ordering a halt to any new intakes into ACORN’s service programs until completion of an independent review. I have also communicated with ACORN’s independent Advisory Council, and they will assist ACORN in naming an independent auditor and investigator to conduct a thorough review of all of the organizations relevant systems and processes. That reviewer, to be named within 48 hours, will make recommendations directly to me and to the full ACORN Board. We enter this process with a commitment that all recommendations will be implemented.
CAP President John Podesta, who also sits on ACORN’s Advisory Council, said, “Accountability starts with knowing all the facts. ACORN, which is doing important work in advocating for lower-income Americans all across this country, is taking an important step today by acknowledging its need for reform and demonstrating its desire to take corrective action.”

September 16th, 2009 at 3:53 pmHey wingnuts, here’s that thread you wanted so bad.
September 16th, 2009 at 3:54 pmAn advocacy group is naming an independent auditor and investigator to review conduct deemed unacceptable by several of their workers ; yet the GOP/Bush backing moronic tools are still up in arms over their behavior , while the garbage Bush administration committed treason by revealing the name of an undercover CIA officer , then claimed they would perform a “self-investigation” , and subsequently did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING………
September 16th, 2009 at 3:56 pmBut — but — but — posting a thread like this will only embolden the trolls!

September 16th, 2009 at 4:06 pmACORN, by and large, provides a valuable service to communities.
The activities on those tapes, though, was reprehensible. The people have rightly been fired. An internal investigation is probably the best way to go.
If Congress wasn’t tackling healthcare, the climate bill, financial regulations, aid for struggling homeowners…
Then they could waste a week or so looking into ACORN.

I would like to know how many ACORN offices this documentary “filmmaker” visited. If he tried this prostitution sting at a hundred ACORN offices, and employees from four offices agreed to engage in illegal activities, there’s a case to be made that this isn’t a systemic problem of corruption at ACORN. I know an office in PA contacted the police after this “filmmaker” approached them about setting up a prostitution ring–but the MSM never talks about that story. Something tells me that just like with the questionable editing in these videos, we’ll never know the full story.

Sorry to spam, but I feel the need to repeat a previous comment here.
Let’s go over what we know so far. After massive amounts of investigations funded by the right wing, this is what has been able to be discovered about ACORN:
1. ACORN has been attacked for taking the step of identifying likely fraudulent voter registration cards to their state elections boards. Other voter registration groups, which do not take this step, were not attacked because the number of their fraudulent registrations remains unknown.
2. ACORN has been cheated by some of their workers, who filled in fraudulent voter registration cards instead of finding new voters.
3. After a massive search by private investigators to find undocumented immigrants registered by ACORN, two possibilities were identified; both were harrassed by the P.I., and it later turned out that they were both U.S. citizens anyways.
4. After a massive hidden-camera sting operation searching for corrupt ACORN employees, a few were found who were willing to give advice for how to fill out a housing form even though the applicants engaged in illegal activities irrelevant to whether they needed housing assistance to begin with.
5. Due to unfounded allegations by wingnuts, Congress decided to make sure ACORN doesn’t get funding. Not that had they ever received federal funding anyway. Note that this does not count as illegal or questionable activity by ACORN, but rather merely as a marker of success of the wingnut slander against them.
In all of these examples (and probably more I can’t think of) ACORN as a whole was the victim. As an organization, they do good work for communities across America. The attempts to smear them have resulted in no evidence whatsoever that they are doing anything illegal.
Here’s an analogy, though. Recently a patron of McDonald’s received a gun and drugs at their drive through, in addition to their regular order. Does that mean that McDonald’s is a gun-running drug-pushing organization? To use your “ACORN logic,” yes, and McDonald’s should be federally investigated because of this event. But a normally intelligent person would point out that one employee willing to commit a crime does not discredit the organization they work for.
… or at least, not when that’s a private company, as opposed than a non-profit organization that helps underserved communities, right?
When looking at whether an organization is acting as a criminal enterprise, it doesn’t matter if I find one worker who cheated. I could find that in any company or organization, if I looked as hard as the wingnuts are looking at ACORN, and you know it. What matters is the established practices of the organization as a whole.

It’s not a double standard at all.
When Michael Moore exposes greed and corruption in the health care industry and Wall Street, he’s highlighting a REAL THING. An ACTUAL problem that exists here in the real world. This greed and corruption costs ordinary people their health, their savings, and their livelihoods, every day. That corruption is real, and Moore just shows what’s happening in reality.
When these conservapunks exposed ACORN’s “corruption,” they had to make it up. It’s all based on a false premise. There’s no proof that ACORN staff routinely assist people they know to be criminals with tax evasion. Only that a handful of well-meaning individuals didn’t know what to do in a ridiculous, completely contrived situation. They’re the victims, not the culprits.

September 16th, 2009 at 5:21 pm
___________
And you’re basing this on what evidence?
September 16th, 2009 at 5:28 pmYears ago, a local television station did a story on a local grocery store — reporting how they were repackaging meat and putting new “sell by” dates on it. This created shockwaves through the community, the grocery store lost a lot of business, the manager of the meat department in that particular store was fired, and the station’s ratings went through the roof as they milked the story for everything they could.
How was the story obtained? The station employed a number of people to get a job at any of the chain’s stores and to film activities there covertly, figuring that something would turn up they could exploit. And sure enough, something did at one of the stores. A meat manager, concerned that the amount of meat going past the “sell by” date was making him look bad, made some decisions that not only violated store policies, they were illegal. He hadn’t been doing it long, and probably wouldn’t have been able to get away with it much longer because this chain had their own internal policy auditors.
After the dust settled, people looked at the situation more rationally — especially the method the station used to go trolling for a scandal to report. While there was no excusing what the meat manager did, and he was rightly fired, most of us tried to imagine how we would feel if one of our co-workers had a hidden camera and had infiltrated our workplace. Could we honestly say that everything that was done or said behind the scenes at our workplaces would be something we would be proud to have shown on the evening news?
I kind of feel the same way about the ACORN story. Yes, an employee got caught advising a couple of people on how to rip off the system and conduct illegal activities. This employee was deservedly fired. But like the grocery store story, this was not representative of ACORN policies, and the covert operatives had to cast a wide net to catch someone (how many offices did they have to visit to find what they wanted?).
Let’s try to keep things in perspective. This is more about an effort to discredit ACORN than it is about ACORN trying to encourage prostitution and child sex. Just like the meat repackaging situation was more about a television news program looking for a juicy story to boost ratings than it was about repackaged meat.

Obama Admin: Cap And Trade Could Cost Families $1,761 A Year
The Obama administration has privately concluded that a cap and trade law would cost American taxpayers up to $200 billion a year, the equivalent of hiking personal income taxes by about 15 percent.
A previously unreleased analysis prepared by the U.S. Department of Treasury says the total in new taxes would be between $100 billion to $200 billion a year. At the upper end of the administration’s estimate, the cost per American household would be an extra $1,761 a year.
A second memorandum, which was prepared for Obama’s transition team after the November election, says this about climate change policies: “Economic costs will likely be on the order of 1 percent of GDP, making them equal in scale to all existing environmental regulation.”

Oh, and in 1974 when the speed limit was changed, we’d had traffic cops for quite a while, and we didn’t have to put a provision in the bill to create them.
Ahh, I see now… sorta like these cops we’ve had for a while now?

Yes, indeed. We have to ensure that all ACORN staff, from top to bottom, are properly trained to recognise and kick out RW “entrapment”/”sting” provocateurs … and hopefully sneer at them on their way out.

Like that will produce anything valuable. ACORN IS A CORRUPT ORGANIZATION FROM THE TOP DOWN. Their so called internal investigation will be nothing more than a paper shredding project to destroy any and all evidence.
And who will they be covering for when destroying evidence? Obama himself, that is who. Remember, he was a lawyer for the organization and has very close ties with them today.
September 16th, 2009 at 6:23 pmA review of federal records shows that ACORN affiliates have received at least $31 million in direct federal funding from American taxpayers over the past 10 years and millions more indirectly through state & local agencies that receive federal block grants. Federal Register records show that ACORN secured the $31 million to fund affiliates in eleven different states through 54 individual federal grants.
17 of those 54 federal grants went to ACORN causes in Philadelphia, PA. The others went to ACORN efforts in Washington, D.C. Dallas, St. Paul, Alburquerque, New Orleans, Houston, Chiccago, Brooklyn and Little Rock.
No more money to ACORN until they open their books – let’s see how many sub-prime loans were approved based on ACORN’s “advisors”. These loans brought down the financial system and caused the crisis that we have today.

No evidence exists for this claim. During the election, massive scrutiny was brought to bear on ACORN. Any wrongdoing by temp canvassers resulted in their firing and in the ballots they collected being bundled seperately so that the elections board could investigate them easier. As soon as this information came to light, the employees involved were fired. Every time something has been found wrong in ACORN, they’ve fixed it.
Would that every organization and corporation be so thoroughly examined, and act so responsibly in return.

Let me fill you in on something kitty. I fully expect that the progressive liberals on this board will blind themselves to the truth. Therefore, I do not seek credibility from people who blind themselves because of ideology because it doesn’t mean squat.
For those of you that are on the fence about the political views that you hold, as I was in my younger days, then you will eventually see what I, and many others see. And, that is.. BOTH parties, Republican and Democrat are absolutely corrupt.
The best thing that we, the American citizens, can do is push for smaller government. Less government means less chance for waste and corruption.
But I fully expect that you folks will refuse to see it that way and place all your hope and faith in bigger government brought to you by obama and the democrats. Good luck with that.
September 17th, 2009 at 12:24 amThere is one thing I agree with you and it is that both parties are corrupt…well said…
I think however that the problem is the influence that corporations and big business have on our politicians. It’s just one party doesn’t make any pretensions about who they support while the other pretends to be on the side of the people, but when we aren’t looking…

We tried that along with Reaganomics and that is how we got into this economic mess. Less government allowed Madoff to keep doing his Ponzi scheme, contaminated food, drugs that were approved and found to be dangerous after the fact, etc. The problem isn’t the size of the government, but rather it is which special interests are getting their way. Government is the problem when it fails to take action or turns a blind eye to abuses.

Ahh, yes. The “Google it” defense. That’s a good one. If it’s on Google, it must be true. Which is why I now believe JFK was assassinated by crop circles and the planet Nibiru.
The reason you can’t post proof of top-down corruption at ACORN is because you don’t have any. These wanna-be Borat videos are not proof of corruption. They’re just proof that ACORN needs to work on its counter-punking technique.

Amazing that the progressive liberals on this board are actually defending the corrupt ACORN.
I’d never heard of them until wingnuts started howling during the campaign. If it weren’t for y’all, I wouldn’t care about them one bit.
Upon looking into the evidence the wingnut complaints were based on, I found that there wasn’t any. Not only that, but there’s no reason to think that ACORN is an enemy of the right wing. Obama only worked with them very briefly, many years ago; if you’re going to go after former employers, you’d be better to target the University of Chicago, which he worked at more recently and for much longer. ACORN is also officially a non-partisan organization, and have rules in place to enforce that. So there’s no reason whatsoever for right-wingers to target them to begin with, unless you believe that all low-income people are left-wing, in which case, you’re declaring class war.
Are you declaring class war?
.
Tim43 says:

I’ve reviewed those claims. There is no evidence whatsoever of organizational corruption in ACORN. Just a lot of people saying there is. There’s a difference between those two things.
If you look at any large organization closely enough, with undercover sting operations and background research, you’ll find some amount of individual corruption. You know that to be a fact. How the organization responds to such information tells you whether there is any organizational corruption. ACORN has always responded responsibly.
However, for wingnuts, “evidence” means something different than from those of us whose brains function properly. If one wingnut makes a claim, and then a second wingnut makes the same claim, the first wingnut will use the second wingnut’s claim as “proof” of his. Once you’re all chattering in unison, you create for each other the illusion of logical support, even though no facts back up any of the claims made.

Tim43 says:

Tracy__5 says:
Because there isn’t any accountability from the top down.
Of course there is. Anybody who violated their publicly known rules has been promptly fired. They even got rid of their CEO just because her brother had embezzled from them decades ago. That was a known fact and he was making restitution, but they decided to can her just to make sure you lot didn’t have anything more to whine about.
How do you define “accountability?”
Or do you even understand what “definitions” are? I suspect that all you understood when you wrote that is that “accountability” is a positive thing of some sort, and you don’t like ACORN, so you said they don’t have it. I find such an approach to be typical of wingnut dialectic: “good thing has good thing; bad thing has bad thing; bad thing doesn’t have good thing,” etc. It only goes to support my general suspicion that wingnuts’ brains don’t work in quite a fashion that could be described as “sentient.”
.
Tracy__5 says:
And covering their tracks better.
Absolutely not. Your suggestion that they hide evidence of wrongdoing would be wrong. They should continue as they have, making any problems public and holding any employees who engage in wrongdoing accountable.
Leave it to a right-winger to propose a cover-up…

You’re barking up the wrong tree, as usual.
September 17th, 2009 at 11:24 amTracy_5: I applaud your persistence and dogged pursuit at exposing the criminal enterprise that is ACORN. However, do not waste your time – you are not dealing with rational people. Once again – I call upon ACORN to open their books – not to someone that they appoint – but to an INDEPENDANT auditor. I guarantee that Obama’s fingerprints are all over this operation.
P.S. Check out post #142 – has anyone gone to the link showing how ACORN has received $54 million since 1994 Didn’t think so. Oh yeah, Tracy – you’re a Racist!!
September 17th, 2009 at 1:52 pmTracy_5: Obama doesn’t have to expose himself – just follow the money. Connect the dots. Here’s a question – how did Obama land in Chicago to begin with? How did he ever come in contact with Ayres? Are we really supposed to believe that Obama did not realize that the esteemed Rev. Wright was a racist, anti american, hate spewing demogogue? After twenty years in that “church”? And as a former community organizer, trainer and legal advisor to ACORN that he is now completely disconnected from them? Follow the money, connect the dots – open the ACORN books. I’ll bet no one on this site wants that to happen.
September 17th, 2009 at 2:55 pmThis just in – House Votes to Defund ACORN – 345 – 75. ElBruce: maybe they need some of your “reasoning” to get them to think otherwise, Huh? This is a win for the good guys, finally!
September 17th, 2009 at 3:05 pm#176 He can try but the evidence is starting to stack up against him. If it is proven that ACORN was run as a criminal enterprise and Obama has stated that ACORN would be “at the table” for policy decisions, then he will have some serious splainin to do.
September 17th, 2009 at 3:13 pmTracy__5 says:
“They even got rid of their CEO just because her brother had embezzled from them decades ago.”
My how gracious of them. After multiple arrests of their employees for voter registration fraud over the years why are they just now calling for an independent audit of their offices and operations?
I’ll repeat the words just after what you quoted, since you’re suffering from selective ignorance again: “That was a known fact and he was making restitution.” He was busted for the embezzlement a long time ago and had been paying it off since then. His sister was not at fault, but they had her step down anyways.
How often does any company or organization do a full independent audit of their operations?
.
Tracy__5 says:
Where is their oversight?
In disciplining employees being found to have engaged in any wrongdoing promptly and appropriately, as they have always done.
.
Tracy__5 says:
You actually think that these four videos so far constitute even a small percentage of the corruption in ACORN?
The right wing has had them under a microscope for over a year now, and have extremely little to show for it. So, yes. At this point, they’re probably about the “cleanest” organization on the planet.
.
Tracy__5 says:
If it wasn’t for the fact that they are a partisian group in which the ratio of registering Democrats to Republicans was practically 100 to 1…
Cite your statistic, please.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they registered significantly more Democrats than Republicans, but only because Republicans oppose the interests of the poor, and Democrats try to represent all economic classes equally. If there was an organization dedicated to registering rural voters, they’d probably get more Republicans than Democrats, but that wouldn’t make them an arm of the Republican party, provided that they didn’t pre-screen the applicants by party (which ACORN does not).
.
Tracy__5 says:
After the fact…every time.
Yes. You don’t throw people in jail before they commit a crime. You also don’t fire people before they’ve done anything wrong. Or else you would have been fired from your job already.
.
Tracy__5 says:
The fact that ACORN is being forced (finally) to do an independent audit just shows they had no intention of doing so untill someone call them on it…
Again, how frequently does any company or organization have a complete independent audit of its operations done? You seem to be trying to make it sound like that’s par for the course, but such a step is an extremely expensive and disruptive in any organization, and nobody does it unless there’s the serious perception of a problem.
The perception of a problem is not the same thing as a problem, by the way.
.
Tracy__5 says:
…and this time with video that they actually couldn’t deny.
I’ll withhold final judgement until the rest of the heavily edited copy comes out. It’s also been reported that the ACORN employees were playing along with the filmmakers as a joke.
Now, I’m not saying that that’s the case; I’ll 90% grant that those people did the wrong thing, for purposes of argument. But for any legal purposes, or for saying “they can’t deny it!” then we’ll need the context to make a final judgement.
.
Tracy__5 says:
BS. It just shows the American people how narrow minded she actually is and her ostrich mentality when it comes to those raising corruption questions about ACORN falls on her deaf ears.
What? What the hell are you talking about?
All that link showed was that she wasn’t informed of the development before the reporter asked her about it. All that demonstrates is that she hasn’t been keeping tabs on ACORN. And that pretty well indicates that the Democratic party doesn’t particularly care about them.
Once again, you have made the mistake of confusing the house vote to avoid funding ACORN with something that ACORN presumably did. Just because the house votes against you doesn’t say anything bad about you. It does say something bad about their inability to stand up to slander.
.
Tracy__5 says:
Responding after the fact on multiple occasions is just proof positive that they is no internally system for policing themselves. Has there ever been an occasion where ACORN, on it’s own, fired their own employees for voter registration fraud for example?
Why yes – how about all of them? The only reason that we know about voter registration fraud is because ACORN first fired any cheating canvassers, and then bundled all of their ballots separately before turning them over to the election committees.
This is like the third time I’ve explained this; are you not capable of reading these words or something?

It’s called bringing in an independent third party to audit their organization everything from their finances, to their hiring practices. It’s done by the business world on a daily basis. I see that when it comes to running a business or a non profit organization you aren’t too bright apparently.

There is a HUGE population of poor people who live in rural America, but it’s obvious ACORN is only interested in getting Democrats elected, hence their operations are focused on the cities, proving my point ACORN is a partisan organization.
I just explained how that’s not “partisan.” You’re using the “I-don’t-like-this-word so it applies” non-logical method again.
But let’s go find out for ourselves. It looks like they’re basically looking at “underrepresented communities,” which would mean those with low voter registration proportional to their population. Sounds like a worthy goal to me.

You know, I’m just going to skip ahead. You still haven’t read the news item at the top of this page.
And you hate the poor, and automatically target anyone who tries to help them as being your enemy. If this were two thousand years ago, you’d be complaining about Jesus just like you’re complaining about ACORN, because healed lepers might try to seek social justice from your wealthy masters.
