Treasury department agrees to investigate Acorn

  The news on ACORN gets even better or worse, depending on your viewpoint, for ACORN every day. Today the Treasury Department as agreed to open up a formal “review” of ACORN and other nonprofit organizations.

  Here is part of the text from the release by the Treasury Department:

The lack of an appropriate firewall between ACORN’s charitable activities and its political arm has raised significant questions regarding the appropriateness of their status as a taxable nonprofit corporation and their management of federal dollars,” Issa said.  “Cutting ties with ACORN is a good first step for the federal government, but since they have been the recipients of taxpayer dollars, we have an obligation to investigate to discover whether or not those dollars were misused in anyway

  The clock has run out on ACORN, the jig is up, the shit is about to hit the fan. Insert any other fitting cliche here. Two 20+ year old Patriots have exposed ACORN as the corupt organization that many of us always knew they were in such a manner that it can no longer be ignored by the press and more importantly by the government. In light of the recent videos several government entities have cut their ties with ACORN and now we are going to have a formal review of ACORN.

  It will be interesting to see if we have a legitimate review or if the review will be a white washing of the corrupt organization. I am hopeful that this will be a legitimate investigation because I feel that any goverment association with ACORN will prove to toxic to the associated government entity.

  This organization has been getting away with too much for far too long and the American people are finally starting to realize that the people who were sounding the warnings were not just fringe radicals. They had legitimate conserns all along.

  It will be interesting to see how an administration with such close ties to ACORN handles this situation. It is important for the administration to realize that the American people are awake and they are watching how this plays out.
