ACORN Official Grabs $445 Million Grant From Obama Admin

[jagbender]

[h=2]ACORN, the supposedly defunct organization defunded by Congress in the aftermath of James O???Keefe???s video exposing ACORN employees??? willingness to help out pimps and prostitutes attain government benefits, is back. As Judicial Watch has uncovered, the Obama administration offered $445 million to a former ACORN official as part of a $7.6 billion government program designed to help ???unemployed or substantially underemployed??? Americans make their mortgage payments.[/h]

The ACORN official, Joe McGavin, is director of Hardest Hit, an Illinois program that received that massive Treasury infusion. Prior to his time at Hardest Hit, McGaven was director of counseling for ACORN Housing in Chicago, and the operations manager for Affordable Housing Centers of America (AHCOA), an ACORN affiliate.


While ACORN was supposedly cut off from taxpayers, the facts say otherwise. And this is just the latest indicator. As Judicial Watch reported, ???ACORN got tens of thousands of dollars in grants to ???combat housing and lending discrimination.??? The money came via Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which awarded a $79,819 grant to AHCOA.???


Don???t be surprised to see the new, reorganized ACORN ??? now spread out across the country, without benefit of the ACORN label ??? play a role in the 2012 election cycle.

LOL...they going back to the old "voter registration" fraud bit...

electorates depending on the state are selected in local elections BEFORE the presidential election. the popular vote is only to see if the electorates got it right and voted for who they pledged to, and they always have..

If voting did anything it would be made ILLEGAL

HA

Would anyone even cry if the diaper heads nuked DC? Democrats take corruption to new levels daily.

how is it the whole party's problem that a handful of low wage employees that get paid by the number of voters they register cooked the books. that's surely never happened before anywhere in world history.

voter registration fraud does not equate to electoral college votes, it's that plan and simple...

and lets see what have republicans done:
voter suppression
florida short deadline to vote
GA purging voters from system
Ex-felon disenfranchisement
Disinformation about voting procedures
Inequality in Election Day resources (not enough resources in one area so voters never get in to vote)
2002 New Hampshire Senate election phone jamming scandal
Caging lists
2006 Virginia Senate election

Yawn.. anything real or legitimate instead of your normal nonsense? Voter supression, who was on TV with clubs in 2008? Oh yeah that would be the black panthers.
hundreds of thousands of your illegals voting, dead people voting, you dems have the cheating all locked up. I doubt there would be a democrat elected if fingerprints and citizenship were scanned at voting booths.

Here is a thought, how about actually addressing the OP instead of your usual... but but but..Bush did...... It's rather pathetic.

what exactly is there to address? it looks like ACORN changed their name non-profits and for profit company's do it all the time.

you will get more accurate information by going directly to the source of funds, not websites that twist information around to suit one political ideology or another...

"Authorized by the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds must be used to offer an unemployment bridge program that will pay a portion of a borrower???s mortgage payment while unemployed or substantially underemployed. The U.S. Department of Treasury obligated a total of $7.6 billion for this program."

here is the list of all of the states that received monies to help homeowners. these monies are TARP funds
