I think she is going to give FOX and Biggovernment dot com a good fight.

What a woman!

US Code Title 18, Part 1, Chapter 119. Throw the whole damned chapter at them! Census Bureau too!

BTW just saw her on CNN with Blitzer. She was VERY good! Even said the pimp/ho did her a favor by pointing out the bad apples. A real smoothie.....


However, the Obama/WH just cut her loose too.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs alluded to video, taken by the conservative site BigGovernment.com, showing ACORN employees giving advice to individuals posing as sex traffickers.

"Obviously, the conduct that you see on those tapes is completely unacceptable. I think everyone would agree to that," Gibbs said. "The administration takes accountability extremely seriously."

Characterizing the Census Bureau's decision as a move based on a lack of confidence in ACORN's ability to perform its expected duties, Gibbs said he was not sure whether the president would ask Democrats to pull back from any campaign-year collaboration with the group.

All that's left is the corporate funding... that's going next..

organizing poor people in the us. & largely black-run.

my,my.

ACORN is the single largest and arguably most powerful low-income community organizing organization in the country - its entire mission is to unite poor and working class Americans and be a voice for the issues of that class.

Somehow when ACORN comes to the attention of what I am convinced is a predominately white, predominately upper middle class DU population, so many are so quick to believe and swallow a conservative class warfare campaign, so quick to elevate isolated issues into a character smear of the entire national organization.

I'm not sure there's been anything more telling about the deeply disturbing incredibly seedy underbelly of DU than the attitudes of the white and privileged pseudo-liberals rearing their heads spewing foxnews disinformation and Glen Beck talking points.

and demanded to be call her middle name, Adeline, when she was about 5. But I love it. Cause it reminds me of her and how she was a fighter to help people just like this Bertha Lewis.

Way to go Bertha Lewis.
