The ACORN Obama knows by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2008 If you don’t know what ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) is all about, you better bone up. This left-wing group takes in 40 percent of its revenues from American taxpayers — you and me — and has leveraged nearly four decades of government subsidies to fund affiliates that promote the welfare state and undermine capitalism and self-reliance, some of which have been implicated in perpetuating illegal immigration and encouraging voter fraud. A new whistleblower report from the Consumer Rights League documents how Chicago-based ACORN has commingled public tax dollars with political projects. Who in Washington will fight to ensure that your money isn’t being spent on these radical activities? Don’t bother asking Barack Obama. He cut his ideological teeth working with ACORN as a “community organizer” and legal representative. Naturally, ACORN’s political action committee has warmly endorsed his presidential candidacy. According to ACORN, Obama trained its Chicago members in leadership seminars; in turn, ACORN volunteers worked on his campaigns. Obama also sat on the boards of the Woods Fund and Joyce Foundation, both of which poured money into ACORN’s coffers. ACORN head Maude Hurd gushes that Obama is the candidate who “best understands and can affect change on the issues ACORN cares about” — like ensuring their massive pipeline to your hard-earned money. Let’s take a closer look at the ACORN Obama knows. Last July, ACORN settled the largest case of voter fraud in the history of Washington State. Seven ACORN workers had submitted nearly 2,000 bogus voter registration forms. According to case records, they flipped through phone books for names to use on the forms, including “Leon Spinks,” “Frekkie Magoal” and “Fruto Boy Crispila.” Three ACORN election hoaxers pleaded guilty in October. A King County prosecutor called ACORN’s criminal sabotage “an act of vandalism upon the voter rolls.” The group’s vandalism on electoral integrity is systemic. ACORN has been implicated in similar voter fraud schemes in Missouri, Ohio and at least 12 other states. The Wall Street Journal noted: “In Ohio in 2004, a worker for one affiliate was given crack cocaine in exchange for fraudulent registrations that included underage voters, dead voters and pillars of the community named Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy and Jive Turkey. During a congressional hearing in Ohio in the aftermath of the 2004 election, officials from several counties in the state explained ACORN’s practice of dumping thousands of registration forms in their lap on the submission deadline, even though the forms had been collected months earlier.” In March, Philadelphia elections officials accused the nonprofit advocacy group of filing fraudulent voter registrations in advance of the April 22nd Pennsylvania primary. The charges have been forwarded to the city district attorney’s office. Under the guise of “consumer advocacy,” ACORN has lined its pockets. The Department of Housing and Urban Development funds hundreds, if not thousands, of left-wing “anti-poverty” groups across the country led by ACORN. Last October, HUD announced more than $44 million in new housing counseling grants to over 400 state and local efforts. The White House has increased funding for housing counseling by 150 percent since taking office in 2001, despite the role most of these recipients play as activist satellites of the Democratic Party. The AARP scored nearly $400,000 for training; the National Council of La Raza (”The Race”) scooped up more than $1.3 million; the National Urban League raked in nearly $1 million; and the ACORN Housing Corporation received more than $1.6 million. As the Consumer Rights League points out in its new expose, the ACORN Housing Corporation has worked to obtain mortgages for illegal aliens in partnership with Citibank. It relies on undocumented income, “under the table” money, which may not be reported to the Internal Revenue Service. Moreover, the group’s “financial justice” operations attack lenders for “exotic” loans, while recommending 10-year interest-only loans (which deny equity to the buyer) and risky reverse mortgages. Whistleblower documents reveal internal discussions among the group that blur the lines between its tax-exempt housing work and its aggressive electioneering activities. The group appears to shake down corporate interests with relentless PR attacks, and then enters “no lobby” agreements with targeted corporations after receiving payment. Republicans have largely looked the other way as ACORN has expanded its government-funded empire. But finally, a few conservative voices in Congress have called for investigation of the group’s apparent extortion schemes. This week, GOP Reps. Tom Feeney, Jeb Hensarling and Ed Royce called on Democrat Barney Frank, chair of the House Financial Services Committee, to convene a hearing to probe potential illegalities and abuse of taxpayer funds by ACORN’s management and minions alike. Where does the candidate of Hope and Change — the candidate of Reform and New Politics — stand on the issue? Barack Obama, ACORN’s senator, is for more of the same old, same old subsidizing of far-left politics in the name of fighting for the poor while enriching ideological cronies. It’s the Chicago way. moreResolved Question: If you are against the bailout are any of these 12 House reps yours? They may change to yes vote?
Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-N.J.) According to one senior GOP aide, Frelinghuysen was a yes but reversed his vote at the last minute. Afterward, Frelinghuysen called for more hearings and debate on the bill, saying, “We have not adequately consulted, deliberated and explained this to the American public and our constituents.” Rep. Jim Ramstad (R-Minn.) A retiring moderate Republican, Ramstad could have voted for the bill without worrying about a voter backlash in November. But he complained that the rushed debate had left “the final cost to taxpayers ... uncertain” and said he would prefer an insurance plan to a bailout. Rep. John B. Shadegg (R-Ariz.) Although John McCain’s campaign said he was working to rally House GOP support, not a single Republican from McCain’s home state voted for the bill. Shadegg wants changes in mark-to-market accounting rules and an increase in Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. limits. Rep. Steven C. LaTourette (R-Ohio) A close friend of House Minority Leader John A. Boehner, LaTourette opposed the package. Later, LaTourette said in a statement he wants to double the amount of FDIC insurance and allow U.S. companies operating overseas to bring assets back to the United States. Rep. Doc Hastings(R-Wash.) A moderate Republican, Hastings told the Yakima Herald that he was undecided until Sunday night. In the end, he said he voted no because there were still “too many concepts” and not enough details about taxpayer exposure. Rep. Judy Biggert (R-Ill.) Like many other Republicans on the Financial Services Committee, Biggert voted against the bill. But Biggert has said Congress needs to act, and she has expressed support for some sort of government-backed insurance plan that would allow business, rather than taxpayers, to assume more risk. Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.) A close ally of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and a member of the Democratic leadership, Becerra ultimately voted no because he “wanted to see direct protections for responsible homeowners” in the bill. Rep. David Scott (D-Ga.) A member of the Congressional Black Caucus, Scott said after the vote that he could back the plan if 1 percent of the $700 billion were set aside in a program to prevent foreclosures. Rep. Hilda L. Solis (D-Calif.) With foreclosures in her district nearly tripling in the past few months, Solis said she opposed the bailout because it “lacks needed reform of bankruptcy laws” that may help keep people in their homes. Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-Nev.) While Berkley voted no, aides said she would be inclined to support the bill if it placed “tougher restrictions on CEO pay.” Aides also said she is looking for more specific language on the regulation of Wall Street. Rep. Bill Delahunt (D-Mass.) Another close Pelosi ally, Delahunt said he voted no because the bill would have done too much to help the firms that caused the problem. Delahunt wants to lessen the burden on taxpayers and has proposed assessing a transaction fee on lenders who turn over bad mortgage securities to the government. Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D-S.D.) While a majority of her fellow Blue Dogs voted for the bill, Herseth Sandlin ultimately opposed it because she thought it would give Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson a “vast amount of power” without “effective oversight.” If one of these is yours will you make sure to contact them to tell them to vote 'no' on the bailout? You can use this link if you like: http://70.32.73.101/contactcongress.php#. moreResolved Question: Will you write me in as POTUS if I promised to somehow stop this Wall Street bail out?
I would let the chips fall where they may and not reward bad investment, bad management and poor judgment on the part of mortgage holders and lenders at the expense of the American taxpayer and their children and grandchildren. Also curb and reverse the tide of illegal immigration by making it a felony and putting violators to work building the border fence that will eventually keep them out when they are returned to their home country. Use any form of energy at our disposal including but not limited to, wind, solar, tidal, hydroelectcric, methane, hydrogen, domestic oil, natural gas, coal and nuclear. I would work as quickly as possible to get our troops out of harms way in Iraq & Afghanistan by quickly bringing both nation's armed forces up to strength for the task of defending themselves. Back to the financial meltdown for just a minute. 75% of people calling the Capitol Hill switchboard have asked Congress not to bail out anybody. This country doesn't need Wall Street to survive. Wall Street has made it clear over the last two years that they need us more than we need them. Yes, we probably would have to endure a two to three year hardcore recession, but that would be nothing compared to the ten to twenty year depression that will ensue thanks to this goliath government bail out of $700,000,000,000 that is not even including the over $300,000,000,000 that has already been spent to bail out Freddie, Fannie, Bear-Stearns, and other failed small institutions over the last year. I also promise to not attempt in any way to change the law as it stands right now concerning any of your civil rights and would only select Supreme Court Justices that were true moderates. They would have to go through the most intensive vetting process ever seen to even be considered to a long list. I would do everthing in my power to get all political parties to start working together in a bipartisan manner for the sake of this nation or would actively support third parties that showed they would do so. So how about that write in on the first Tuesday in November, no chance huh? moreResolved Question: Alternatives to bailout?
I'm a big fan of Dave Ramsey, but never have I seen him be as brilliant and so full of common sense as today. He and his economist friend devised a way to deal with the financial crisis without spending $700+ billion. Read the article and tell me what you think about his plan. http://www.daveramsey.com/tdrs/index.cfm/2008/9/23/Fix-the-bailout-with-mark-to-market?ictid=sptlt If you don't to read the article, basically it talks about reversing an accounting rule for lenders temporarily and getting the federal government to insure these mortgages that can't be sold, thus making them marketable again. Basically these companies can't sell what have become junk bonds. With the government guaranteeing them, they'll be traded again. In the end the government would only end up paying for the mortgages that go into foreclosure, costing the gov't (and us taxpayers) a mere $40-50 billion, as opposed to the $700 billion. What are your thoughts? moreResolved Question: Is it really the fault of the lenders?
"Redlining", in which mortgage lenders would refuse to grant home loans to low-income areas used to be common practice in the industry, because it avoided risk. With the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), which was passed in 1977and revised under the Clinton and Bush administrations, reversed this trend. Lending institutions were coerced by the government to begin a practice known as "Reverse Redlining", in which people who cannot afford houses are given loans for those houses anyway. Before we start blaming the lenders, why don't we repeal the CRA? moreResolved Question: A lot of people think, to take some of the spotlight off of Barack Obama?
A lot of people think, to take some of the spotlight off of Barack Obama, that John McCain will announce his vice presidential choice this week. And most think it's gonna be Mitt Romney. See, I don't know. You know, when Romney and McCain stand together, doesn't it look like one of those slick Countrywide lenders trying to trick your grandfather into reverse mortgage what do you think? moreResolved Question: IndyMac owns Financial Freedom. Is it still safe to get a reverse mortgage with Financial Freedom?
We are in the process of signing papers with Financial Freedom but I worry about them since the government seized their parent company IndyMac Bank. They say they can still make loans, but I worry if they will be able to continue the monthly payments. If I went with them, could I transfer to another lender at a later time? moreResolved Question: Who is a good lender to use for a reverse mortgage loan for my dad?
My 83 year old father needs repairs on his home which is paid for. He is on a fixed income and is considering a reverse mortgage. There is no one else living with him and he doesn't plan to move. moreResolved Question: How does a reverse mortgage work?

I understand how APR can be more than Interest rate but I am seeing the reverse from lenders like wellsfargo ? Can somebody explain ? moreResolved Question: With a reverse mortgage if owner stays in house and ends up with excessive equity does lender go after estate?
With a reverse mortgage, If owner stays in house for longer than expected and with interest, etc. ends up "upside down" --- in other words, more is owed on the house than it's current value, (of course, after the death of the owner), and after the bank sells the house can it then come to the estate to make up the difference? moreResolved Question: How much does reverse mortgage counseling cost?
I was reading a site called www.reversemortgageabcs.com that talked extensively about the need for reverse mortgage counseling and even where I could find a counselor. However, it did not mention how much it would cost nor did it mention whether I would have to pay for it (or if the lender would) if I decide not to proceed with the reverse mortgage. moreVoting Question: 30 year loan paid in 5-6 years?
does this sound good? you can buy a house now, and have it payed in 5-6 years. you can buy your vacation house now, or retirement house, and rent it, and the rent will pay the mortgage. and it will apprechiate by the time you retire. you can reverse the compounding interest on a 30 year loan. (average daily balance). just like banks will take your payments and pay the lower interest loans first. when you do a 30 year mortgage, the lender takes monthly payments after the interest coumpounds the most. so instead you can take out a HELOC (home equity line of credit) as a second mortgage, a credit line of 30,000 for example, and use it to pay $15,000 towards the principle. now you lowered the principle amount by 15,000. so the interest is less. then use your monthly income to pay down the HELOC. when the HELOC is back to 0, pay another 15,000 to the principle with the credit. and your paying down the principle a lot faster than if you just made monthly payments to the loan. and the first month on the HELOC after paying it back down to 0, is 0%. the balance has to go past 30 days to have finance charges. since your always paying it down every few months, you'll always have 1 month with no interest. if you only paid monthly payments, after the first 10-15 years on a 30 year loan, you barely paid anything to the principle becuase most of your monthly payments go to interest. if you have a 500,000 loan for 30 years, your actually paying $1,000,000 after 30 years because of the interest on the average daily balance of the loan. so with the HELOC, you lowering the principle amount way faster then you could just making monthly payments. and since your renting your retirement house, theres still monthly payments to the loan from the renters. then in 5-6 years you will have some apprechation, and most of the loan will be paid, and you can live in it almost free, or sell it and have $200,000-$300,000 tax free. moreResolved Question: Does anyone understand Reverse Mortgage?
I have only one daughter. I have an offer for $56,500 from a lender. I owe just the same amount. I refinanced twice, so no equity left in the house.

If you knew that the fed was going to cut interest rates, you would obviously act on the stocks that had been beat up the most by the lack of affordable liquidity. So you would have bought calls on those companies, mortgage bond insurers, subprime lenders, home builders, companies that would see a rosier future as a result of the reverse of poor possibilities for their products to be bought and defaulted on in the near future. How far in advance of these trading moments would you have prepared that strategy? How are you preparing your next strategy to deal with the next upside or downside possible overall market or industry surprise? moreResolved Question: What do you do to prepare for a trading event?

My sister just refinanced and the paper work has many fees.?
My sister just refinanced her home. She regrets doing it. There are too many fees. We don't even know what they mean. For example: -BROKER APPRAISAL FEE: $450.00 -BROKER PROCESSING FEE: $695.00 -LENDER LOAN FEE TO BROKER: $6200.00 -BROKER ORIGINATION FEE: $3100.00 -FUNDING AND REVIEW: $455.00 these are just the ridiculous looking ones. The proposed loan amount is 310,000.00 The screwed up part is, the mortgage broker (a good friend of ours) said she wasn't going to charge us for preparing it. Is there any way this can be reversed? This was processed march 29. moreResolved Question: Why don't people realize that a reverse mortgage is a scam?
Sadly, large companies with big PR departments get away with expensive ads on television about the greatness of reverse mortgages and what they can do for you. The truth is all it will do for you is give you dribbles of money on your own equity while a lender has your money and just pays taxes. If you have paid off your house you can simply sell it and get all that money in hand. Don't be scammed! For those who are wondering about my credentials. I'm a successful real estate investor and I am well read on the processes involved. I simply want people to be aware of this. I expect a mortgage lender to say that this is a good thing. You are the people who are the scam artists. moreResolved Question: where can I get a list of reverse mortgage wholesale lenders?

In April 2005 my husband was diagnosed with epilepsy and thus lost his job because of it. Had enough savings to get through a few months of mortgage payments and in Sept the savings ran out which was going to be used for taxes but this money was not due until June, unfortunately due to the circumstances we were forced to use this for Mortgage payments. Attempted to make payments for the last 9 months but they refuse them stating all of what is due or nothing and let it build up. We rec'd a foreclosure notice in the mail in Jan. 2006. The Foreclosure finalization is 8/30/06. I have put in complaints with the FTC and the state Consumer Credit Agencies hoping to get answers to this predatory Lender. Any other ideas?
