The ACORN-8 Has 31 Questions For ACORN
June 9, 2009 | Filed Under ACORN, Crime, Democrats/Leftists, Nancy Armstrong, Taxes, Uncategorized | Comments Off
The ACORN-8 want answers to thirty-one questions.
Marcel Reid, president of the ACORN 8 asked these questions at an ACORN-CCI national board meeting in July 2008 but didn’t get answers. CCI is Citizens Consulting Inc., the “accounting” arm of ACORN web of corruption. Millions of dollars run through CCI annually.
Reid and I spoke recently. She said if these questions had been answered then ACORN ‘s financial and internal problems could be fixed. Instead ACORN is on the run and under increased scrutiny by MSM, Capital Research Center, and bloggers.
Marcel Reid and the ACORN-8 are asking bloggers to assist with research, accessing various records and databases, and following leads to fill in missing information.
Here are the 31 questions, two of the questions are in boldface because they have a significant importance.
1. Listing of all ACORN related entities; by name, function, organizational type and tax exempt status (with contact information).
2. Organizational Chart of all ACORN related entities.

31. Listing of all entities in which Wade Rathke, Dale Rathke or Beth Bumpers are owners, officers, directors or beneficiaries (past or present).
Recently a search at the Orleans Parish Assessor’s website indicated that three ACORN affiliates own 72 residential properties. The following affiliates own the 72 properties, Elysian Fields Corporation, ACORN Community Land Association of LA and AHC-NOLA1.LLC. This search only partially answered this question, Listing of all ACORN related real estate or leased property. ACORN has leases across the country and may own more property in Louisiana. The total number remains unknown.
Yesterday afternoon during a conversation with Reid, she said the following, “they still own those properties?”
There are many stories about ACORN at Capital Research Center, the American Spectator and blog sites.
