They should be ashamed.

The lack of media coverage of ACORN and their corrupt practices is just the tip of the iceberg that seems to plague our country. Except for Fox- no one has mentioned much about this recent exposure of the federally funded agency- two video tapes were made of two different offices offering illegal (not to mention immoral) advice to a two twenty year olds posing as a Pimp and Prostitute.

The Baltimore office of ACORN was taped helping a Pimp and Prostitute set up a cat house and import teen age illegal immigrants for what can only be considered underage sex slavery, as well as tax fraud.

ACORN officials called foul-claim they were being set up- then fired the two employees.

The next day another video tape of the Washington DC office of ACORN, again seen helping a Pimp and Prostitute set up a cat house and import teen age illegal immigrants for what can only be considered underage sex slavery, as well as tax fraud..

ACORN officials quietly fired the two employees.

The local Tampa paper had two mentions: one in an obscure section that highlights different blogs- a blog mentioned ACORN in a paragraph, the second came Saturday, they reported deep in the paper about the Baltimore alleged misconduct- even though the newspaper had ample time to report the newest allegations. Google ACORN- with the last 24-hour option---where are the major players? NY Times? NBC? CBS? Walter Cronkite is spinning in his grave. Those that call themselves journalist should be ashamed of themselves.

This is not the first time we had seen corruption and illegal activities associated with ACORN. Just last week 11 ACORN employees were arrested in Miami for voter fraud allegations. ACORN continues to be investigated in numerous states, raising much concern.

Some activities were encouraging....

Rep Conyers, Democrat, had suggested an investigation as seen in this except of a Washington Time article...

Washington Times:
May 20, 2009
In an startling partisan shift, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. on Thursday proposed holding hearings on claims the liberal activist group ACORN engaged in a pattern of crimes ranging from voter fraud to a mob-style “protection” racket.

... until the shoe dropped -an except from the Washington Times.

Washington Times:
June 25, 2009
House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. has backed off his plan to investigate wrongdoing by the liberal activist group ACORN, saying "powers that be" put the kibosh on the idea.

I wonder who could exert the political pressure on the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee? If he is the Chairman, what pressure is he subjected to?

Where is the moral outrage? Where are the legislators from both side of the aisle on this?

Maybe you should ask...

If they are not looking to root out the corruption in this agency- no matter where the ax falls- well then they should be ashamed of themselves as well...and in my opinion seeking new employment.

God Bless,
