Political activist Andrew Breitbart broke a story this week about ACORN, a
national association of community organizers that claims to advocate for
low-and-moderate-income people, on his Big Government blog. This time ACORN is
accused of a massive document dump at its San Diego office. The discarded papers
contain sensitive personal information about clients and employees, such as
Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, voided checks, tax returns,
even credit reports. Other documents, according to Derrick Roach, the private
investigator who retrieved the data, contained detailed information about how
ACORN operates in California.
The real story, though, is the timing of the disposal, which occurred six
days before representatives from the Attorney General's Office visited the ACORN
offices for their investigation into potentially illegal advice and misconduct
captured on video by two activists posing as potential ACORN clients. The videos
caused a national stir in September. ( Jerry Brown vs. ACORN... )
If Mr. Brown is serious about returning to the governor's job, which he held
from 1975-83, he will need to get serious about investigating ACORN. If he
doesn't, it might cost him at the ballot box.
(Brown needs to do what is right and look into ACORN. What he decides should not be based on politics or is that asking too much. The good people of America and CA. deserve that don't we?)
