ACORN can be paid for pre-ban contracts...

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/28/us...uG8jvRIN5LPGWw

Quote:
A Housing and Urban Development Department lawyer asked the Justice Department whether the new law meant that pre-existing contracts with Acorn should be broken. And in a memorandum signed Oct. 23 and posted online this week, Mr. Barron said the government should continue to make payments to Acorn as required by such contracts.

The new law “should not be read as directing or authorizing HUD to breach a pre-existing binding contractual obligation to make payments to Acorn or its affiliates, subsidiaries or allied organizations where doing so would give rise to contractual liability,” Mr. Barron wrote.

The deputy director of national operations for Acorn, Brian Kettenring, praised Mr. Barron’s decision.

“We are pleased that commitments will be honored relative to Acorn’s work to help keep America’s working families facing foreclosure in their homes,” Mr. Kettenring said.

None of the stuff shown so far would ever stand up in a court of law, but they have been convicted by TMZ/Fox...

The reality is that in all of this if there was evidence of wrongdoing it should have first gone to law enforcement and then to TMZ/Fox... not the other way around.. the reality is that any of this stuff could have been tinkered with and taken out of context...
Personally, I don't like Acorn, so I have little interest in seeing them succeed in any way.

Too bad, constitutitional issues are not about if you like an organization or not... they are dead in the water, but will arise again... all that is being done is demonizing an agency that is viewed by the disenfranchised as good by the powers of the right..

They have not committed any offenses that they have been afforded due process or other legal entitlements... their trial took place on right wing radio and on fox news...
