ACORN knew about corruption 15 months ago and did nothing to stop it

  Every time another ACORN scandal comes to our attention ACORN claims that they did not know anything about what was going on and that a few rogue employees should not be used to judge the whole organization.

  But now we are learning that might not be the case, according to a memo that was sent by an ACORN lawyer to the group in June of last year the organization was warned about certain “systemic institutional concerns.” The lawyer warned ACORN that if they did not clean up their act that it would be cleaned up for them. It now appears as if her prediction is on the verge of coming true.

  ACORN fired their founder the day after this memo was written, a possible sacrificial lamb, but they never made any effort to change their corrupt ways and now the bill is finally due.

  ACORN can deny that they actively engage in voter fraud, tax fraud, and partisan political campaigns as an organization but the evidence shows us that the contrary is true. ACORN as a whole is corrupt and they were warned and still did nothing to change.

  One has to wonder if the timing of this memo had anything to due with their reluctance to institute structural changes and reforms. After all, there was a presidential race at the time and one of the candidates has strong ties to the organization. Besides actively trying to commit voter fraud to help this candidate get elected it is possible that they also did not want this scandal to break for fear that it would have hurt his chances to become president.

  ACORN’s legal problems could just be beginning and it is not a moment too soon, but more accurately 15 months too late.
