ACORN is an extention of the HUD and HUD Affiliate "thug" culture. Your previous post about HUD Shakedowns, including HUD-Affiliate Fair Housing Council of Orange County, acts just like ACORN. The criminality extends to HUD. <br /><br />It is not an Obama-thing, even though he was associated. Even George W. Bush "enabled" these "thugs". Not only does there need to be a Congressional Investigation into ACORN, but also why HUD uses our taxpayer money to fund these organizations. HUD-Secretary Shaun Donovan should make HUD "transparent" as originally promised in the Presidential campaign - Government Transparency...what happened to that? Why doesn't HUD STOP payments to ACORN with our money, at least until we find out what happened to the rest (as Marcel Reid says).<br /><br />Keep up your pursuit of "the truth", Mike!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098264341625381422.post-1511687224195319042009-05-22T14:46:42.307-07:002009-05-22T14:46:42.307-07:00The comments made were right on.

Not only is CCI an arm of ACORN and affiliates, it has used the same audit firm both before and after the embezzlement. The audit firm allowed the theft to be carried as a loan. <br />The audit of ACORN'S books have not been done in a timely manner. A forensic audit has not been done, As reported in the article, funds are moved from agency, affiliate to other accounts.<br />Isn't this known as money laundering.karenofkindnessnoreply@blogger.com
