A friend sent me this. I have sent several e-mails to congresswoman's Bachmann asking "is this real?" but no response as yet. I'm sure she and her staff is snowed with the great work she is doing on behalf of all of this. I can't find anything about this on her Web site. My friend found it on another blog that came from another blog and so on. So it could be totally made up and I am NOT trying to start a rumor. Please do NOT repeat it unless you know it to be true. IF you know it to be true please post the source.
Thanks!

**********************************************************************************************
Report on US Congresswoman Michele Bachmann’s Thursday September 17th conference call.

The message is a call to action and update on ACORN. Bills to defund ACORN were introduced into both houses but the actual flow of money has not stopped. The people in Washington did the usual dog & pony show. The House and Senate passed different bills. Since they don’t match, they won’t be signed into law.

ACORN is the elective arm of the Democratic party and has tax exempt status while funded by tax payers money. President Obama was a legal representative for the organization and held workshops on Saul Alinsky’s radical strategies. President Obama during the campaign funneled $800,000 to ACORN’s Get out the Vote group. No matter that is unethical to use tax payer money to benefit a particular political party. From 1994 – 2008, ACORN received 53 million in federal funds. In President Obama’s first 9 months, the stimulus bill and the federal budget allocated 8.5 BILLION to ACORN.

70 ACORN employees in 12 states have been convicted of voter fraud. We’ve all seen the videos those brave young journalists released. The criminal activities alone should call for a RICO, FBI and the government oversight committee investigation. The web of ACORN includes 180 affiliates in over 1200 locations.

Congress has over the last few years asked for an investigation and to defund ACORN. Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank have derailed any attempt and removed any amendment designating such action. ACORN and Barney Frank played a major role in the lending practices that led to the economic meltdown. ACORN intentionally wrote mortgages for people to purchase homes out of their economic range. Now you the tax payer are paying the mortgages. No reparations are needed, it is happening.

President Obama’s silence is deafening. His close affiliation with the group and their inclusion in the White House is an affront to all. Special interest groups (ACORN) have been actively writing these abominable spending bills. The President is really committed to ‘spreading the wealth’.

Contact your representatives. Contact the White House. Put the pressure on to stop ACORN funding NOW and to remove their tax exempt status. Tell your friends and go to Michele Bachmann’s website and sign the petition to defund ACORN. Send the email on to all your contacts.

We can win.

Q&A - comments from call ins.
Callers are questioning whether ACORN's name change will defeat any defunding motions.
How did they retain their tax exempt status for as long as they did?
Wade Rathke hid his brother's embezzlement of over $1mil from ACORN.
Shameful that the President has not spoken about the issue.
Insult that the President is calling the citizens liars about the health care bill.
Concern is expressed over 42 Czars and counting. No vetting or investigating these people who will have absolute power. (Avowed communists, people who believe in forced abortion to control the population - very scary people.)
Our budget doubling while cutting military spending as the world is becoming more dangerous.
The mainstream media doesn't report the news. People are struggling to find information and sharing among themselves what is not available through the major networks.
Nancy Pelosi weeping that the conservatives will bring violence to the nation.
Callers are asked to tell the truth and share what is in these bills.
The left continues to play the race card.
The first 9 months and already 30% of the economy is government owned or controlled.
Barney Frank has introduced a bill to nationalize ALL student loans.
Main stream media is becoming irrelevant.
Read Dr. Mark Levin's book "Liberty & Tyranny" a conservative manifesto
Thank our military troops for their service.
Pray for the troops and our country.

370 signed the petition during the hour call.

Hang tough, we are going to win this thing.

Before we declare victory stop a minute. This is one of the first and best organizations of the 400 far left organizations of "Destroy America" sponsored and paid for by George Soros. The guy is worth $10 billion dollars and tricked the Nazis into making them think he was a Christian as he turned in fellow Jews in Hungary as a teenager in WW2 getting to keep much of their belongings when they made one-way trips to death camps. He came to America already a millionaire. He does not need government money. Nice connections but he does not need the money! Don't you think a guy this smart and this evil has a "plan B"? And through "plan Z" for that matter. This is like "Whack a Mole" at the carnival. This is just a speed bump for Mr. Soros. Look at what he has accomplished to reach his goal of owning all of us! He bought himself a country and maybe the world. ACORN is just one soldier in his army of thousands. Is anyone aware ACORN has already changed their legal name?. So defunding ACORN is a non-event! This is one big con. They took money away from a legal entity that no longer exists. Google ACORN new name for stories on their new name. NOW let's defund that!! We are being royally conned!
