If someone walked into a bank and demanded money, what would you do? Comply if he was armed, right? What if he wasn’t carrying a weapon but somehow managed to convince the Bank’s Leadership   that he was entitled to the money? What if it was from your account that he was demanding the cash?

If you think the above scenario is far-fetched, brace yourself.

Bertha Lewis and the other bottom-feeders at ACORN have deemed it necessary to sue the Federal Government for pulling their funding.

Yes, you heard that correctly.

They feel it’s ‘unfair’ that their budget is ’suffering’ and they’ll be less able to afford to continue their many ‘worthy programs’ without the billions in stimulus money. (excuse me, I just cleared my throat)

The suit alleges that Congress violated the Constitution (what else is new?) when it passed legislation in September that targeted ACORN to lose funds specifically marked for programs, such as federal housing, transportation and education. According to the ‘Center for Constitutional Rights,’ the bill of attainder punishes a person/group without a trial and is therefore illegal under Article 1 of the Constitution.

So…let me get this straight:  Acorn continuously breaks the law, running their shyster outfit like the Mafia,  they’ve received $53 million dollars of OUR Federal taxpaying dollars since 1994, yet were found to be eligible to receive BILLIONS of our tax dollars…and they’re whining like spineless criminals because they were finally caught red-handed?

Uh, where I come from, we call this K-A-R-M-A.  Suck it up, Bertha.. Trafficking hookers and shelling out ‘advice’ to other nasty unsavories is NOT what that money was intended to be used for. Especially when WE are paying for it. 

NOTE TO CONGRESS: before getting cute and deciding to give in to this suit, shelling out OUR TAX DOLLARS to these scum bags again, you might want to have a conversation with old Harry Reid – the same guy who refused to open an investigation into ACORN despite MASSIVE evidence linking ACORN to fraud in his own state.

1) 48 % of NV registrations turned in by ACORN were fraudulent and when the offices were raided by authorities,  they found that 59 inmates from a work-release program at a nearby prison were employed by ACORN and found numerous irregularities. Its field director, Christopher Edwards, pled guilty to two gross misdemeanor counts of conspiracy.

Yet, despite the embarrassing avalanche of evidence,  when the US Senate voted 83-7 to block ACORN from bidding for additional federal grant money, Reid STILL refused to hold a hearing on ACORN’s activities.

Even after the scandal broke revealing that ACORN was involved in human trafficking, underage prostitution operations and other allegations, Reid claimed that investigating ACORN would disrupt other critical areas of concern. (like bankrupting America, working to pass an illegal healthcare bill that nullifies our constitution and protecting sex offenders  – yep, Harry’s been busy)  

Reid communicated his concerns to Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), stating his preference to focus on healthcare reform and economic recovery.

Perhaps Reid’s attitude has more to do with the fact that SEIU/ACORN reps, kicked FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS over to Dirty Harry’s campaign and they are expecting his protection.

But, ACORN has been under scrutiny for years - their misdeeds ignored by our Leadership, the Media and ultimately, the tax-paying public. Luckily enough, Hanna Giles, Andrew Breitbart, James O’Keefe and Glenn Beck dug their heels in and caught ACORN red-handed, permanently ripping the blinders off of America, once and for all. 

Embarrassing for Harry Reid, who should be thinking about packing up his office in the near future. His reign as a do-nothing, spineless weasle is about to come to a very public end.  Embarrassing for Bertha Lewis and her continuous persistance that they’ve not engaged in “wrong-doing”

Bertha shouldn’t be consulting attorneys, but rather her own conscience.

And embarrassing for the rest of our Leadership if they even CONSIDER putting these thugs back on the Government teat.

ACORN’S FUNDING MUST BE BLOCKED IMMEDIATELY AND PERMANENTLY.

America is waking up and will no longer allow this unarmed band of thugs to waltz into our lives and fill their loot bags, spouting entitlement, ON OUR DIME.
