Help ACORN Re-Brand **OPEN THREAD**

By LisaB on September 21, 2009 at 9:01 AM in Current Affairs

It has been very interesting to see ACORN’s response to the recent video stings of several offices. They seem to be in the denial phase. Or maybe it’s anger since they’ve threatened lawsuits.

What happens when they reach acceptance? Well, optimistically, they’d disband. Yeah, that’ll happen. What do other corrupt corporations, organizations or individuals do? Re-brand, baby. Time for a little change. Say you’ll cut out the few bad elements but keep doing good work for “the people.”

Anyway, here at NQ, we’d like to provide a public service to ACORN. Let’s help them re-brand.

Now, it is true they’ve sort of done this already. This summer, they re-branded as COI (Community Organizers International). But either that name hasn’t stuck or the re-branding is incomplete.

Be a giver. Suggest a new name for the inevitable successor to ACORN.

ACORN (Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now)
COI (Community Organizers International)

Oak Seeds?
Seeds of Change?
Community Nuts for Change?

    How about Front for Fraud or Lawbusters! – why do it the legal way?

    Btw, since this is an open thread, I want to let folks know that jbjd dot com has the Virginia Memorandum of Complaint up requesting AG Mims to investigate Pelosi’s role in election fraud.

    We’re looking for Virginian’s to file the complaint with the AG. If you haven’t read her blog before, I suggest reading Treason 1 and 2 which provides the facts and legal arguments for filing said complaints in those particular states that require POTUS and VP must be eligible under federal law. Then read the complaints and consider sending it into the AG. She also has complaints up for SC, TX and HI.

    Thanks in advance for taking action!

      I thought they had already changed their name to COI.
      Community Organizers International or something like that.

        That was just for the International Scene. Wad Rathke, “charming” man of my generation (oh god – barf!) had to leave ACORN National cuz his little brother Dale, who was National’s treasurer, helped himself to a small loan of around $1 Million dollars he could not seem to pay back.

        Took a few years, but since most of ACORN’s non profit affiliates are 501C3 they finally “discovered” the loss and was letting little Dale Rathke pay back a little bit at a time, while he kept his job as Treasurer.

    Speaking of higher taxes: Welcome to the Hotel California. You can check in any time you like, but, you can never leave….

    http://dailyreckoning.com/an-ordinary-end-to-a-post-crash-bounce/

    Steve Sjuggerud:

    “A friend of mine lives here in Florida. He is not an American citizen. He pays US taxes while he lives here. But under the threat of higher national income taxes, he is contemplating giving up his green card and moving elsewhere.

    “When Maryland’s governor raises taxes, Maryland residents leave and government income goes down.

    “When the nation’s President raises income taxes, foreigners like my friend leave and government income goes down.

    “Unfortunately, YOU CAN’T LEAVE.

    “Wait a minute. This is America, land of the free, right?

    “Not so fast… The US government will track US citizens everywhere to get tax money. If you leave to work in another country, you still pay US income taxes. America and North Korea are the only countries that tax you on your worldwide income.

    “If it gets bad enough, you can just give up your citizenship, right?

    Nope, you can’t do that either. At least, you can’t do it without paying a potentially massive ‘exit tax.’

    “The exit tax acts like an estate tax. If you want to give up your citizenship, you have to give up nearly half your wealth above a certain level. The Economist magazine calls it ‘America’s Berlin Wall.’

    Nice, eh?

    “Want some more nice? Once you’re gone, you’re not legally allowed to come back and visit family and friends. Yes, if the government decides you have renounced citizenship for tax purposes, a federal law prohibits you from entering the country ever again. (You can look up the rule under 8 USC 1182(a)(10)(E).)

    “You can escape states with oppressive taxes. But ‘escaping’ the US – the land of the free – is much more difficult. And you can bet it won’t get any easier as the government needs more and more of your income to pay its bills.”

      Great book title JBJD!

      Can anyone help me find the 2 ACORN cartoons that were prolific for the last two weeks.

      One is an Acorn standing in front of the White House. Underneath it says “ACORN Headquarters”.

      The second is a picture of of Bummers face, wearing the top of the Acorn as a hat.

      I have spent hours trying to find where I saw them, and could not.

      Thanks

    OBAMACORN has been getting busted, handslapped, saying oopsie-rotten-apple, then going right back to crimes-as-usual for many years.
    http://www.rottenacorn.com

    In fact, the voter registration fraud was so sloppy it may have been that OBAMACORN wanted to be known for its aggressive registration for Democrats, because what they really are…
    is a huge money laundering organization…
    Money, tax free, by the millions, pours in, favors are ostensibly paid out in Democrat voter registration. That was what the old funeral home outlet in New Orleans was doing, funneling from dozens of other front organizations into the larger OBAMACORN pot.

    Democrat political campaigns pay “insurance” with Obamacorn which acts like Vinny the Buster for Democrat votes, so the more outlandish they appear in getting those votes, the better their marketing.

    • maryann

      I wonder if they didn’t get exposed with Hannah the Hooker videos to Congress, that OBAMACORN didn’t want to be known for its outlandishness again with regards to Cloward-Pivening and getting benies and freebies and teaching cheating for would-be Democrat voters….
      this again would be a terrific marketing tool in addition to the run-of-the-mill voter registration abuses, they could be known under-the-currents as the go-to guys for gaming the system to scrape up more Democrat votes
      hmm
