ACORN

Well surprisingly enough, more ACORN workers have been caught doing illegal and immoral acts. Arrest warrents were issued for 11 ACORN workers in Florida after enough evidence was found that they had illegally registered 888 voters for the 2008 elections. This came to light after being reported to the state attorney general's office. They claim that this was only an attempt to defraud the ACORN organization and that none of the names actually voted, but who can actually say that for sure. It seems that ACORN is unable to hire employees that do not turn out to be some kind of criminal. In 2007 workers in Washington were arrested on the same charges of voter fraud. It a more disgusting case of criminal activity, ACORN workers were videotaped giving information to people posing as a pimp and a prostitute on how to defraud the IRS, and secure 13 underage girls from South America to include in a prostitution ring. The ACORN worker, while telling the two that it is illegal to do so, also proposed they claim the children as "dependents" on their tax return. The undercover people were reporters who came to the Baltimore ACORN office. In the video an ACORN worker is shown to be offering to defraud the IRS by altering tax returns, charging a nominal fee. This is clearly not an organization that fufills is role as protectors and advocates for the underpriveledged. This kind of conduct is appalling, and it should be questioned that, anyone who continues to associate themselves with this radical group, whether or not they should be in the positions they are currently in. It should also be investigated further as to whether or not those positions secured were done so legally.
