..I have always had suspicions that groups like ACORN were nothing more than front groups for the political parties. I thought their worst sin was diverting tax dollars or donations for political cause and purpose.

The NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) pushes the White House agenda which is as corrupt as ACORN using tax dollars for political campaigns. NEA officials are more forthcoming than ACORN. The Federal Government pays and the NEA artists do the work to make a better world for us all. The conflict is their better world is partisan politics.

US Constitution Article I, Sec. 8, Amend. IX, X  denies the federal government the authority to establish  or fund ACORN, NEA or any like organizations. President Obama by his will to fine citizens without due process ( Amend. IV), to  openly reap the benefits of corruption, has ignited a resistant to Federal Control not seen since the Civil War or the depression days of FDR. This problem will not go away for the President even if ACORN does. The tentacles of corruption will cause even the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) to be investigated and all other like organizations.

The small acorn (ACORN) that turned into a giant oak (Article I, Sec. 8, Amend. IX, X IV) that could bring down a presidency.

You contend that ACORN is not under investigation in 14 States. The prostitution tapes are staged. Voter registration fraud never happened. ACORN books have always been open to the public. There is no political campaigning by ACORN. ACORN helps all citizens not just the minorities  They are not a front for the Democrat Party. President Obama never served as their legal council or in any other capacity. It is only a 'vast right wing big business conspiracy' to keep poor people poor and on and on and on. Let's say, you are right on all counts and ACORN is pure as Snow White on Sunday.
 
You seriously miss the main point.
US Constitution Article I, Sec. 8 denies the federal government the authority to establish  or fund ACORN or any like organizations.
Amend. IX, X - The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people. This does not leave much to interpret. It seems clear to me that the Several States, Counties, Cities or private business like Bank of America could fund ACORN or like organizations.  Amend. X reiterates that no authority exists for the Federal Government to create nor fund with 'tax' monies organizations like ACORN.  And, the Su. Ct. has no authority, to decide or create that, which does not exist.

This is the most important point. In fact, it is the only point. Good intentions must be within Constitution boundaries. If not, there is no 'rule of law' and this is just a exercise in futility among friends.

ps: The commerce clause does not give the Federal Government unbridled authority.To argue that point means Article I, Sec. 8. the IX and X Amend.s have no applicable meaning.

 "Some fear GOP is being carried to the extreme" By Peter Wallsten, LATimes, Sept. 14, 2009

 The events that I have attended were protesting high tax, and the Republican Party. I do not remember a Democrat being mentioned. There was only about 15 thousand people at the events. Possibly too few citizens for the media to count??

 Libertarian Party headquarters staff and interns joined the 9/12 Tea Party March on Washington with "Republicans Equal Big Government" signs. $400 billion Medicare drugs, $700 billion bank bailout, $3 trillion budgets, $1 trillion war"  Again, possibly just too few citizens for the media  to count.           LP Staff Photo

  
My opinion is the main stream media is disperate to portray these protests as a Repblican Party events. The question is why. Both major parties are corrupt and in the spirit of going 'Green' both need to be recycled.

"The last 45 of my 66 years I've spent in a commercial fishing town in Alaska. I understand Alaska politics but never understood national politics well until this last year. Here's the breaking point: Neither side of the Palin controversy gets It's not about persona, style, rhetoric, its about doing things. Even Palin supporters never mention the things that I'm about to mention here.

1- Democrats forget when Palin was the Darling of the Democrats, because as soon as Palin took the Governors office away from a fellow Republican and tough SOB, Frank Murkowski, she tore into the Republicans Corrupt Bastards Club (CBC) and sent them packing. Many of them are now residing in State housing and wearing orange jump suits. The Democrats reacted by skipping around the yard, throwing confetti and singing la la la la (well, you know how they are). Name another governor in this country that has ever done anything similar. But while you're thinking, I'll continue.
 
2- Now with the CBC gone, there were fewer Alaskan politicians to protect the huge, giant oil companies here. So, she constructed and enacted a new system of splitting the oil profits called ACES. Exxon (the biggest corporation in the world) protested and Sarah told them don't let the door hit you in the stern on your way out. They stayed, and Alaska residents went from being merely wealthy to being filthy rich. Of course the other huge international oil companies meekly fell in line. Again, give me the name of any other governor in the country that has done anything similar.
 
3- The other thing she did when she walked into the governors office is she got the list of State requests for federal funding for projects, known as pork. She went through the list, took 85% of them and placed them in the when-hell-freezes-over stack. She let locals know that if we need something built, well pay for it ourselves. Maybe she figured she could use the money she got from selling the previous governors jet because it was extravagant. Maybe she could use the money she saved by dismissing the governor's cook (remarking that she could cook for her own family), giving back the State vehicle issued to her, maintaining that she already had a car, and dismissing her State provided security force (never mentioning, I imagine, that she's packing heat herself). I'm still waiting to hear the names of those other governors.
 
4- Now, even with her much-ridiculed gosh and golly mannerism, she also managed to put together a totally new approach to getting a natural gas pipeline built which will be the biggest private construction project in the history of North America. No one else could do it although they tried. If that doesn't impress you, then you're trying too hard to be unimpressed while watching her do things like this while baking up a batch of brownies with her other hand.

5- For 30 years, Exxon held a lease to do exploratory drilling at a place called Point Thompson. They made excuses the entire time why they couldn't start drilling. In truth they were holding it like an investment. No governor for 30 years could make them get started. This summer, she told them she was revoking their lease and kicking them out. They protested and threatened court action. She shrugged and reminded them that she knew the way to the court house. Alaska won again.
 
6- President Obama wants the nation to be on 25% renewable resources for electricity by 2025. Sarah went to the legislature and submitted her plan for Alaska to be at 50% renewables by 2025. We are already at 25%. I can give you more specifics about things done, as opposed to style and persona . Everybody wants to be cool, sound cool, look cool. But that’s just a cover-up. I'm still waiting to hear from Democrats the names of other governors who can match what mine has done in two and a half years. 
 
Dewey Whetsell is not the only one that would be interested in your thoughts regarding Sara Palin.
