Platt,
Looks like the issue is a bit deeper... as I said earlier
I only had one source and haven't delved into
researching this topic that much, so, it would seem
apparent much else is going on than might be
readily known to the public for the moment when
it comes to Acorn.
hope whatever comes out of this is moral,
woods

"Acorn Report Raises Issues of Legality
October 21, 2008
"An internal report by a lawyer for the community organizing group Acorn
raises questions about whether the web of relationships among its 174
affiliates may have led to violations of federal laws.
"The group, formally known as the Association of Community Organizations
for Reform Now, has been in the news over accusations that it is involved
in voter registration fraud, charges it says are overblown and politically
motivated.
"Republicans have tried to make an issue of Senator Barack Obama´s ties to
the group, which he represented in a lawsuit in 1995. The Obama campaign
has denied any connection with Acorn´s voter registration drives.
"The June 18 report, written by Elizabeth Kingsley, a Washington lawyer,
spells out her concerns about potentially improper use of charitable
dollars for political purposes; money transfers among the affiliates; and
potential conflicts created by employees working for multiple affiliates,
among other things." (more)
