RE: Cutting-Off Federal Funds To ACORN Is A Joke. The American People Deserve And Demand A Full-Scale, No-Stone-Unturned Congressional Investigation Into This National Criminal Enterprise!
Simply cutting off government funds for ACORN is not enough. It is apparent that ACORN is a massive organized criminal enterprise that exerts a widespread influence over politicians and the political process on the local and national level. The American people deserve to know the full and unvarnished extent of ACORN's fraudulent and criminal activities and whether any of our elected officials are directly or indirectly tied to ACORN fraud.
We need a full-scale, no-stone-unturned Congressional investigation into ACORN. Heads must roll, prison sentences should eventually be handed out by the courts based on the findings of this Congressional investigation and yes, it may even be necessary to remove some elected officials from office.
Such an action is not drastic or without precedent. In 1950, Senator Estes Kefauver headed the Senate Special Committee to Investigate Crime in Interstate Commerce, otherwise known as the Kefauver Commission. It was the goal of the Kefauver Commission to expose the scope of organized crime and gain a better understanding of how to fight it.
The fact that ACORN has been the recipient of tax dollars is egregious, but it's just the tip of the iceberg. If anything, it possibly makes some of our elected officials, and even each and every one of us that pays taxes, accessories after the fact to a criminal enterprise. With all due respect, I feel compelled to point out that simply cutting off government funding for ACORN is totally inadequate... a joke. We need Congressional investigations. Now.

Vice president, former AG, state senator indicted 18 Nov 2008 A South Texas grand jury has indicted Vice President [sic] Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on charges related to the alleged abuse of prisoners in Willacy County's federal detention centers.
The indictment criticizes Cheney's investment in the Vanguard Group, which holds interests in the private prison companies running the federal detention centers.
It accuses Cheney of a conflict of interest and "at least misdemeanor assaults" on detainees by working through the prison companies. Another indictment charges state Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr. with profiting from his public office by accepting honoraria from prison management companies.
Grand jury indicts Cheney, former AG 18 Nov 2008 Vice President [sic] Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales have been named in a South Texas grand jury indictment on charges related to the alleged abuse of prisoners being detained in Willacy County federal detention centers, The Associated Press said. Willacy County is located in South Texas and includes the cities of Lyford, Raymondville and San Perlita.
ANOTHER BUSH DECEPTION!!
Afghan article says US Bin-Ladin hunt phoney --Text of article, "Bin-Ladin on the run? The rumour which was fact", by Afghan independent secular daily newspaper Hasht-e Sobh, on 29 September 2008 --Posted by Juan Cole 17 Nov 2008
The USG Open Source Center translates an article from the Persian Afghan press alleging that French troops were at one point close to capturing Usamah Bin Ladin in Afghanistan,
but that American forces stopped them from doing so.
It says that a forthcoming French documentary containing interviews with the French soldiers provides proof for the allegation.
The argument is that the Bush administration needed Bin Ladin to be at large in order to justify its military expansionism.

AP Decries Army Photoshopping 17 Nov 2008 Late Friday night, the Associated Press published an article discussing the digitally altered photos of Gen. Ann E. Dunwoody that had been issued to the media by the Defense Department. The article announced that the AP will no longer use Defense-issued photographs.
Army manipulated general's photo 15 Nov 2008 The Associated Press on Friday suspended the use of photos provided by the Defense Department after the Army distributed a digitally altered photo of the U.S. military's first female four-star general.
The image of Army Gen. Ann E. Dunwoody is the second Army-provided photo the AP has eliminated from its service in the last two months. The AP said that adjusting photos and other imagery, even for aesthetic reasons, damages the credibility of the information distributed by the military to news organizations and the public.
"For us, there's a zero-tolerance policy of adding or subtracting actual content from an image," said Santiago Lyon, the AP's director of photography.
'Burrowing' Bush ensures his corpora-terrorist trolls and environmental terrorists remain in place:
Administration Moves to Protect Key Appointees --
Political Positions Shifted to Career Civil Service Jobs 18 Nov 2008 Just weeks before [mercifully] leaving office, the Interior Department's top lawyer has shifted half a dozen key deputies --
including two former political appointees who have been involved in controversial environmental decisions -- into senior civil service posts.
The transfer of political appointees into permanent federal positions, called "burrowing" by career officials,
creates security for those employees, and at least initially will deprive the incoming Obama administration of the chance to install its preferred appointees in some key jobs.
Top judge: US and UK acted as 'vigilantes' in Iraq invasion --Former senior law lord condemns 'serious violation of international law'
18 Nov 2008 One of Britain's most authoritative judicial figures last night delivered a blistering attack on the invasion of Iraq, describing it as a serious violation of international law,
and accusing Britain and the US of acting like a "world vigilante". Lord Bingham, in his first major speech since retiring as the senior law lord, rejected the then attorney general's defence of the 2003 invasion as fundamentally flawed.
Mullen: U.S. Would Need More Than 2 Years for Iraq Withdrawal 17 Nov 2008 The U.S. military would require two to three [!?!] years to remove its roughly 150,000 troops and equipment from Iraq safely, and the timing of that withdrawal should be based on security conditions on the ground, the nation's top military officer said today.
Premier of Iraq Is Quietly Firing Fraud Monitors 18 Nov 2008 The government of Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki is systematically dismissing Iraqi oversight officials, who were installed to fight corruption in Iraqi
ministries by order of the American occupation administration [Yeah, right!]
The dismissals, which were confirmed by senior Iraqi and American government officials on Sunday and Monday, have come as estimates of official Iraqi corruption have soared.
One Iraqi former chief investigator recently testified before Congress that $13 billion in 'reconstruction' funds from the United States had been lost to fraud, embezzlement, theft and waste by Iraqi government officials [and Bush's corpora-terrorist trolls].

Obama Funds ACORN
More than that, Obama was funding them. As he rose to a leadership role at Chicago's Woods Fund, he became the most powerful voice on the foundation's board for supporting ACORN and other community organizers. In 1995, the Woods Fund substantially expanded its funding of community organizers - and Obama chaired the committee that urged and managed the shift.
That committee's report on strategies for funding groups like ACORN features all the key names in Obama's organizer network. The report quotes Talbott more than any other figure; Sandra Maxwell, Talbott's ACORN ally in the bank battle, was also among the organizers consulted.
More, the Obama-supervised Woods Fund report acknowledges the problem of getting donors and foundations to contribute to radical groups like ACORN - whose confrontational tactics often scare off even liberal donors and foundations.
Indeed, the report brags about pulling the wool over the public's eye. The Woods Fund's claim to be "nonideological," it says, has "enabled the Trustees to make grants to organizations that use confrontational tactics against the business and government 'establishments' without undue risk of being criticized for partisanship."
Obama Aware of Intimidation Tactics
The Woods Fund report makes it clear Obama was fully aware of the intimidation tactics used by ACORN's Madeline Talbott in her pioneering efforts to force banks to suspend their usual credit standards. Yet he supported Talbott in every conceivable way. He trained her personal staff and other aspiring ACORN leaders, he consulted with her extensively, and he arranged a major boost in foundation funding for her efforts.
And, as the leader of another charity, the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, Obama channeled more funding Talbott's way - ostensibly for education projects but surely supportive of ACORN's overall efforts.
In return, Talbott proudly announced her support of Obama's first campaign for state Senate, saying, "We accept and respect him as a kindred spirit, a fellow organizer."

In short, to understand the roots of the ACORN crisis, look to ACORN's Madeline Talbott. And to see how Talbott was able to work her mischief, look to Barack Obama.
Conservatives Are Tracking Down ACORN
The Senate pressured by the conservative outrage over the constant voter fraud and legal problems of ACORN is starting to take action. The provision, which passed 83-7, was introduced as an amendment to a housing and transportation spending bill by Senator Mike Johanns, Republican of Nebraska, who said on the Senate floor that Acorn had received $53 million in federal funds since 1994.
"The Senate voted on Monday to forbid Acorn, the antipoverty group frequently criticized by conservatives, from receiving federal housing grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
It's about time, the removal of housing grants is the latest bad news for the corrupt ACORN. Last week the Census Bureau told ACORN that it no longer wanted the group's assistance for the 2010 census.
The U.S. Attorney General must close down this criminal conspiracy and the IRS should finally take away the tax exemption of this criminal group?

Like all other threats against our freedoms, we must rise and cut off all federal funding to ACORN.
In order to stop Obama and his fellow gun-grabbers-we need to let the Congress know with thousands of faxes telling them to stop ACORN and leave guns alone.
Americans like you who understand what our Founding Fathers envisioned for our nation...and who are willing to fight to defend our Constitution and for what it stands.
So please, help the Second Amendment Foundation and me defeat those who wish to gut and trash the United States Constitution.

Obama Care
SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE FALSELY CLAIMS IT POSTED 'FULL TEXT' OF BILL ONLINE
Tell Congress to REJECT ObamaCare!
FaxDC.com wants to send this urgent and personalized Blast Fax message to all 535 members of the House and Senate for YOU.
Alert: The Senate Finance Committee, chaired by Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.), claimed it posted the full text of its health care reform bill, America's Healthy Future Act, on its Web site. But when users clicked the link to read the proposed law, they could only access a 259-page document that included summaries of both current law and the proposed legislation--or what some senators called a "plain English" version of the bill.
The actual legislative language of the bill--the words that would become the law of the land if the bill were enacted--is not available to the public and apparently has not even been written.
Nonetheless, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) scored the plain text summary of the bill on Oct. 7, cautiously estimating its cost at $829 billion. The members of the committee voted the bill out of the committee based on the summary on Tuesday, 14-9, picking up only one Republican vote, Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine.
While the committee released a memorandum to reporters and editors on Oct. 2 claiming had released the "full text of the America's Healthy Future Act, the link attached to the online version of the memorandum led to the summary--not an actual legislative text--and the CBO’s Oct. 7 preliminary analysis of the bill contradictng the committee's claim that it had released the "full text."
"The Chairman's mark, as amended, has not yet been converted into legislative language," said the CBO. "The review of such language could lead to significant changes in the estimates of the proposal's effects on the federal budget and insurance coverage."
On Sept. 22, CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf told the Senate Finance Committee, "We've told all the people who've asked that it will take us about two weeks to do a formal cost estimate after we have a full bill, but we can do an updated preliminary analysis quicker than that."
At that same hearing, Sen. Baucus said: "I just have to tell you, Mr. Elmendorf, this is a very serious concern of this committee, to urge you to with all deliberate speed make sure that you address the scoring of this bill and the modifications and give us a preliminary as soon as you can. … I can't overemphasize how important this point is."
In February, Congress posted the complete legislative text of the economic stimulus bill less than 24 hours before it voted on the legislation. This was the actual legislative text of the bill--the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009--that would become law, unlike the health care summary posted by the Senate Finance Committee.
The summary that the committee posted provides descriptions of current law and the proposed law, and includes several edits that senators made during committee debate.
By comparison, the version of the health care bill produced by three committees is in the form of legislative language and is more than 1,000 pages long.
Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.), a member of the Senate Finance Committee, told CNSNews.com that the committee has always worked with a plain-language version of the bill rather than with the actual legislative language of the proposed law.
CNSNews.com asked Bingaman, "Will you read the entire text of the health care bill before the Finance Committee votes on it?"
Bingaman said: "I expect to. I've been reading it as we went along. I think--well, the truth is the Finance Committee is going to try to report a version that is based on the plain language of the bill. And then, as I understand it, that will be turned into legislative language, which then will be combined with the legislative language that's come out of the HELP Committee and presented to the full Senate as a complete text."
CNSNews.com also asked Bingaman: "So, the entire text of the bill is what you will have access to and you will read before you vote on it, or just the conceptual language?"
He answered: "I think the plain language version, it's not just conceptual. It's a plain language description of the various provisions of the bill is what the Senate Finance Committee has always done when it passes legislation, and then that is turned into legislative language which is what is presented to the full Senate for consideration."
Senator Thomas Carper (D-Del.), who also serves on the Finance Committee, told CNSNews.com that legislative language is incomprehensible.
"I don't expect to actually read the legislative language because reading the legislative language is among the more confusing things I've ever read in my life," he said. "We, we write in this committee and legislate with plain English and I think most of us can understand most of that."
"When you get into the legislative language, Senator Conrad actually read some of it, several pages of it, the other day and I don't think anybody had a clue--including people who have served on this committee for decades--what he was talking about," said Carper.
When Republicans tried on Sept. 23 to amend the proposed bill to allow its complete legislative language to be posted online for the American people to read for at least 72 hours before the committee voted on it, the Democrats defeated the amendment.
Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) said at the time, "Let's be honest about it, most people don't read the legislative language."
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) said: "I remember sitting on the dais when President Obama was inaugurated and gave his inaugural speech where he talked about the importance of transparency in government. He said transparency breeds accountability and builds public confidence.
"For a bill - most of which will not be implemented until 2013 - it is not an inconvenience, it is not something we ought to overlook, the opportunity to get the American people to be able to read it and get a full score. I've heard a lot of discussion at town hall meetings and elsewhere. People are mad about Congress voting on things we haven't even read.
"I don't know how anybody can be held accountable or build public confidence if we don't have the information, and the American people don't have the information, to make their own evaluation, to ask questions and hold us accountable." (CNSNEWS)
