Any taxpayer "stimulus" money used to put on the Olympics? If the Olympics in Chicago loses money, will there be a federal taxpayer money "bailout"?

ACORN got taxpayer funds for doing it; 2. ACORN got kickback fees from the mortgage companies and banks; 3. ACORN got kickback fees for each mortgage from the FHA, etc. ACORN...was...the subprime crisis...taking advantage of poor folks to profit.

Take heart. There are millions of us who feel the same as you do. Keep up the talk, not just talking about it "once". Keep talking to everyone until people are sick of ACORN. Pass around articles, and forward them to others on your email list. Maintain your outrage at corruption. Write or call (not email or text) your Senators, Congressmen, State Governor and legislators, explain to President Obama how you feel, write the FBI, the Department of Justice, the heads of congressional committees. The ACORN supports will deny, confuse and stall. Obama will try to prevent federal investigations and prosecutions; Democrats and Pelosi will try to prevent real investigations or prosecutions in congress. The congress will do nothing, as they are all tainted with ACORN money. VOTE: Vote against ALL incumbents, as they are all complicit. Send a message to all candidates that any who let this "ACORN"-type of corruption and misuse of taxpayer money WILL lose their offices.
