NJ Common Sense

By Alonzo Hosford

Bertha Lewis explains “… all of our employees if they are too stupid to understand that they are not reaching professional standards, we terminate them...”. Or is this a case of  stupid is as stupid does starting with Congress.

The interview along with Congressman Darrell Issa of California covered issues troubling the ACORN organization.

A Faulty Firewall of Convenience

Wallace conveys the top listener question of how a non profit can engage in political activities.

CEO Lewis struggled to assure watchers that a firewall separates the parent ACORN organization and its hundreds of subsidiary organizations.

A Faulty Tax Record Keeping

Congressman Darrell Issa of California stated that the House Oversight committee cannot get information on salaries and movements of funds between the hundreds of ACORN organization as well as their organization papers.

Bertha Lewis Has Failed As CEO

Bertha explains her role since taking the CEO position was fostering policies and procedures to that would prevent problems. These policies and procedures have failed based on the current record evidence. The “housing for pimps” videos and voter fraud are primary examples of failure. These depict employees lacking direction to perform tasks to properly apply Federal funding as intended. They further reveal incentives to pad spending to the extent of illegal immigration and offering housing to pimping of 13 year old sex slave illegals.

Bertha Lewis and ACORN Board Must Step Down

ACORN is plagued with numerous organizational and leadership problems of ACORN including embezzlement from leadership and employees emboldened to promote illegal activities. Both the CEO and the ACORN board needs to step down.

NJ Democrats Supporting Continued ACORN Funding Failure Must Resign

In NJ 5 Democrat Congressmen, Albio Sires, Rush Holt, Donald Payne, Bill Pascrell and Frank Pallone voted to continue funding ACORN despite the latest egregious ACORN failings that hurt minor women. The misappropriation of funds also harms folks by reducing the funds intended to solve problems such as underwater mortgages and potential loss of housing due to the persistent unemployment not solved by the Federal $787 billion stimulus representing $10,500 per New Jersey family. These Congressmen also voted for this stimulus that has billions targeted for ACORN. They are handing out money to an organization injected with corruption  and the money is not properly getting to those needing help.

Congressman Albio Sires, Rush Hold, Donald Payne, Bill Pascrell and Frank Pallone resign for the sake of New Jersey’s reputation already tarnished by corruption.
