American axis
President Obama has spoken well of the virtues of public service. On the surface of things, it is admirable to sacrifice one’s time and resources to help others in need. However, with the continuing controversy of the HR 1388 “mandatory volunteerism” bill inflaming the public’s sense of what is right for our increasingly socialist government to demand, let us not forget the organizations that are openly brazen in their defiance of America’s laws and the Constitution. The Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) and the Center For Responsible Lending (CRL) are two very visible organizations on the list.
Thanks to the efforts of activists like Anita MonCrief (also a former ACORN employee), the ACORN/CRL axis cannot hide their antics from the public eye entirely. This is much worse than the CRL fabricating information against payday loans. ACORN, according to MonCrief, feels that denying the evidence stacked against them is enough of a defense. They’re wrong.
“A new level of militancy”
In a February 2008 Huffington Post article, ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis laid out the organization’s plan for its 2009 anti-foreclosure campaign. Her plan to bring a “new level of militancy” to the problem apparently doesn’t take into account their own dealings with Herbert Sandler, the sale of Golden West/World Savings to Wachovia and the resulting mountain of debt (billions of dollars) that came to maturity.
ACORN and Self-Help, Inc. (a forerunner to the Center For Responsible Lending, all part of Martin Eakes‘ own empire) held banks over the fire to get them to loan irresponsibly. Herbert Sandler, former CRL board member, helped steer the American housing market into the toilet with his “pick a pay” mortgage product. How the ACORN/CRL axis could be allowed to continue to operate without a Congressional probe is beyond me. They aren’t even slowing down to avoid attracting attention. MonCrief points to a 2006 memo sent by Zach Polett, Project Vote Executive director and director of ACORN Political Operations.

A new level of militancy is people occupying homes that people couldn’t pay to stay in? I guess if these were people that were making the effort, then that’s one thing, but if it’s the case of a $100,000 home that someone mortgaged while working at McDonalds…then maybe they had it coming. I also don’t think that people who struggle to pay their mortgages but do it should be forced to pay for people that never could have in the first place through dispensations of tax revenues.
