OBAMA'S CORRUPT CRONIES AND CHICAGO THUGS ARE DETERMINED TO FIND WAYS TO KEEP THE CRIMINAL ORGANIZATIOIN A.C.O.R.N. FROM GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.....
Taxpayer Funded
Serve.gov Filtering Activists to ACORNby Dana LoeschThe Obama Administration has placed a large premium on what it calls “national service.” It has launched a website,
http://www.serve.gov/, that is reported to act as a clearing house for Americans eager to “give back” to their communities. Unfortunately, Americans looking for an opportunity to volunteer may get something they weren’t expecting.
By typing “ACORN” into the search field entitled “What interests you” at Serve.gov, you’re transported to
allforgood.org where you can choose from a list of volunteer opportunities, including “healthcare activist.”
This particular “volunteer” opportunity is with the Tuscon ACORN office: HCR_activist_acornThe description after clicking: HCR_activist_acorn_2They’re unclear regarding financial reimbursement; though past recruitment, like the Craigslist ads in St. Louis, advertised for “paid progressive activists, $90 a day, call Lorna 314-732-0131.”Your tax dollars at work, America.
Living the sweet life on taxpayer dollars while using federal funding to advertise for volunteer opportunities to promote the President’s health care legislation. Pro-Obama activism is the new welfare.
If health care isn’t your bag, ACORN has other opportunities available via Serve.gov, opportunities like a “community organizing internship,” a “neighborhood canvasser,” or a “tax preparer.”
Here’s an opportunity to get out the vote in Ohio. Unlike some listings, this one is directly on the Serve.gov site: Get_out_the_vote_ACORN. This ad for an ACORN tax preparer is also directly on the Serve.gov site: ACORN_servegov_taxes So after they assist you in procuring housing for your brothel of underage girls, ACORN can also assist you in skirting your taxes, in keeping with the law of probability.
Serve.gov is just one of many projects managed by the Corporation for National and Community Service, a federal agency which oversees various government service agencies, including Americorps, the outfit at the center of the fired IG scandal.
CNCS was established in 1993 “to connect Americans of all ages and backgrounds with opportunities to give back to their communities and their nation.” It also operates the Serve.gov website, which defines itself as:“your online resource for not only finding volunteer opportunities in your community, but also creating your own.
Use Serve.gov to help you do your part. America’s foundation will be built one community at a time – and it starts with you.”Since when does America’s foundation require rebuilding? The idea that our country requires an overhaul at the hands of an out-of-control federal government is disturbing – especially when our government is using a taxpayer-supported website to match activists to opportunities so as to promote the President’s agenda.
MORE A.C.O.R.N. ARTICLES OF INTEREST:
Since first reporting that Serve.gov was listing activist positions with ACORN it seems now that all ACORN listings have been scrubbed from the taxpayer-funded site without any explanation as to why they were on it in the first place. The government was using our taxpayer dollars to advertise for volunteer opportunities to promote the president’s partisan agenda via a corrupt organization under investigation for voter registration fraud, among other things Initially you could type “ACORN” into the search field on Serve.gov and various listings from planting trees to volunteering to get out the vote in Ohio, for ACORN, would appear in the results. It’s important to note that several ACORN positions were listed directly on the federally-funded Serve.gov – not just on the AllforGood.org website.
According to an
ad today in the Washington Post, ACORN Chief Organizer Bertha Lewis is looking for a “social media organizer” to take to the Web and do some damage control on the Twitter front. Duties include:
Helping to create or upgrade a presence for Bertha Lewis, ACORNs Chief Organizer, on various social media, including: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, etc.
Establishing a presence for ACORNs campaigns for example campaigns to stop foreclosures and to fight for immigrants rights on various social networking websites.
Developing new and innovative methods for the use of social networking technologies, including video, to enhance community organizing.
Isn’t the left supposed to the standard bearer for social media? Have the tides turned?

Publius From the
New York Post:
Despite a string of scandals that recently led Congress to cut off its federal funding, ACORN still stands to make millions of dollars off its support for Brooklyn’s controversial Atlantic Yards project, The Post has learned.
The left-wing organization — longtime boosters of the $4.9 billion NBA arena and residential- and office-tower project — says it expects to be tapped to market and help decide who gets to live in the coveted, but long-delayed, 2,250 affordable-housing units planned for Atlantic Yards.
This, after Atlantic Yards developer Bruce Ratner helped bail ACORN out of financial trouble last September with a $1 million loan and a $500,000 grant, according to memos.
Although contracts are not yet been signed, Ismene Speliotis, executive director of ACORN’s New York chapter, told The Post her organization “expects to play a role in the marketing and lease-up” of the Prospect Heights project’s affordable housing to be underwritten by the city.
The work would include community outreach and screening people to determine qualified applicants, and then scandal-scarred ACORN would be entrusted with overseeing a lottery system to choose who gets the housing. Ratner’s firm is expected to manage the housing.
