My Dad was forced out on his own at a very early age. His Mother died when he was 12 and his Dad when he was 14. He was the baby of the family and his brothers and sisters were scattered from Houston,Texas, to North Carolina, and down to Orlando, Fla.
I remember the stories he used to tell about the Unions organizing in the South. There were some bloody battles. He got a job as a union organizer. He was paid to go into a town that had cotton mills and march,talk to workers, carry signs outside the business and do the same exact same thing that the original Acorn organizers did when Acorn was started.

HERE IS W HERE THE NEXT BIG HOUSING BUST IN THE MAKING...THIS IS EXACTLY HOW FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC WAS STARTED THROUGH ACORN.
February 18, 2009Obama Administration Announces Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan
President Obama formally announced this morning a new $75 billion dollar plan designed to help families prevent foreclosures and stabilize hard-hit communities. The Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan includes a loan modification program, which provides incentives for lenders to modify the loans of borrowers who are at risk of foreclosure because their incomes are not sufficient to make their mortgage payments. It also includes refinance opportunities for borrowers who are current on their mortgage payments but have been unable to refinance because their homes have decreased in value.
ACORN Housing Corp and other non-profit HUD-certified housing counseling agencies will be helping borrowers access these programs. While the program will not officially go into effect until March 4th 2009, homeowners can get started on the process NOW by filling out an application for assistance from ACORN Housing. The application is available online at http://www.acornhousinghelp.org/ or by calling 888-409-3557.
There is no fee to participate in this new program or to receive counseling from ACORN Housing. Please beware of any companies that charge you money to provide housing counseling or help modifying a delinquent loan, especially any that ask for an upfront fee.
For more information about the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan, go to http://www.financialstability.gov/

Texas ACORN Housing is on pace to complete the new ACORN Glenn subdivision in 2009. Twenty-one homeowners have already moved into their new homes and with 6 more new homeowners expected in April, the subdivision is starting to shape up into a vibrant new community.
Republican lawmakers are raising concerns that ACORN, the low-income advocacy group under investigation for voter registration fraud, could be eligible for billions in aid from the economic stimulus proposal working its way through the House.
House Republican Leader John Boehner issued a statement over the weekend noting that the stimulus bill wending its way through Congress provides $4.19 billion for "neighborhood stabilization activities."
He said the money was previously limited to state and local governments, but that Democrats now want part of it to be available to non-profit entities. That means groups like ACORN would be eligible for a portion of the funds.
Sen. David Vitter, R-La., told FOX News Tuesday that the money could be seen as "payoff" for groups' political activities in the last election. ACORN generally supports Democratic candidates and actively backed President Obama last year.
Below is an article where Acorn supports Immigration, wanna know why? It's because the only way you can be a member of Acorn is if you are a minority. This is where they recruit members to march and organize for minimum wage and less. Go to this link and you'll see all of the Acorn workers are Black or Hispanic;

Immigration
The signs displayed in last year’s immigration marches said it so powerfully: We are America.
Immigrants care about their communities, their families and the future of the United States. They hope to achieve the American Dream. Because of their strong desire to become Americans, immigrants in 2006 joined rallies, marches and vigils all across the United States.
