An exclusive at Big Government.com entitled “ACORN legal memo confirms Depths of Troubles” (The full article is at American Spectator reveals the contents of a faxed email and delves into the aspects of the organizations problems – a copy of which is shown below. What is of concern - an organization, that has had its hands in our government (from voter registration, to mortgages (see Barney Frank), to relationships with the International Revenue Services (now severed), and is poised to receive additional grants through the Obama administrations Stimulus program) chose to continue, against the advice of its own legal counsel, to thumb its nose at the law.

What is even more disturbing is the relationship between this particular organization and our last general election. One may recall that then candidate Obama’s campaign had hired ACORN < ahref=” http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/news/election/s_584284.html”> (Pittsburgh Tribune) or, as the campaign noted “one of the (many) offshoots” to “get out the vote” to the tune of $800,000 (chump change for that particular campaign, which is still operational). This was largely ignored or "pooh-poohed" by both the campaign and the press. The New York Times even admitted to "killing" the story during the campaign (click here for full article).

It is not so much that everyone involved in the organization is particularly guilty of voter fraud, or a host of other methods of cheating the government that funds them, it is that the organization was rotten from the top down, and apparently, chose to ignore the advice – therefore making everyone involved suspect. One has to question, how this was allowed to continue, if it were not for protection of some sort – additionally the organization is akin to Enron and similar corporations that blatantly defrauded the citizens and the government (same) therefore, those at the top, should face the same penalties as the infamous Ken Lay. The document is shown below – it is stunning.
