ACORN

Oct. 28. 2008

To start ACORN is Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. "Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, is a community-based organization that advocates for low- and moderate-income families by working on neighborhood safety, voter registration, health care, affordable housing, and other social issues. ACORN has over 350,000 members and more than 850 neighborhood chapters in over 100 cities across the United States" To tell you the truth i dont know what ACORN is or what it does and what i can see from this quote is that people are helped by ACORn with safety, health cares and many important stuff that people need in life. From my perspective is that ACORN is something good and people need it in life.

"How did ACORN handle the crime? By disguising it on the books as a loan from one of its contractors and letting Rathke's family make restitution at the rate of $30,000 a year." This basically means that the ACORN, if it can overcome a crime it will be charged with $30,000 and its not played as a game.

"If ACORN or any other group has engaged in a scheme to submit phony registrations, by all means that should be thoroughly investigated and prosecuted." i think that this quote means is that if ACORN is playing a game and voting and not taking it seriously they will get prosecuted.
