That study, conducted by the non-partisan Congressional Research Service, also found that ACORN correctly used all federal dollars it received and did not improperly register any voters during the 2008 presidential election. An investigation by the California attorney general reached the same conclusion. An independent investigator hired by ACORN also cleared the organization of wrongdoing.
James O'Keefe, the conservative activist widely credited with bringing the group down, was later arrested on charges of tampering with phone lines in Sen. Mary Landrieu's state office. O'Keefe pleaded guilty.
And religions should not get tax breaks either and if they do then we should dictate to them just as they dictate to our government about abortion and gay rights. These are just cults driven by a leaders who usually lives a life style of the wealthy, not very Jesus like I would say. They live in nice houses and fly all over the country living like divas. While their flock pays their dues at the alter and usually in poorer areas have no health care and decent jobs. But just as the wealthy Republicans use to do in the dark ages before the 1929 depression would boast if you're poor you deserve it becasue that's God punishment. And they buy it..............

ACORN was destroyed by the Republican Party with the help of Fox News. ACORN found quilty and denied funds that had been authorized by Congress before they were tried. That used to be against the law in this country until the Republicans took office in 2001.
