ACORN SEIU

Hell, just google the terms together and have some fun! One of the first links that pops up is an NPR story - NPR!!! - they must have taken a break from covering the latest art magazine launch to document the connections between ACORN and SEIU - something the "main-stream" media has been completely unable to do. Some interesting facts:

  • ACORN co-founder Wade Rathke founded SEIU.
  • ACORN's biggest backer is the SEIU.
  • A number of Federal Agencies are giving them money, including EPA and Justice! Department.
Love the concluding paragraph:

There's a lot more to ACORN's financial picture that we can't complete here. ACORN's network is complex, and money often transfers from one affiliate to another, making it hard for outsiders to keep track of it all. But one thing is for sure: ACORN is busy.
