Rebranded ACORN Network Will Target Battleground States in 2012
"But contrary to what has been widely reported, the ACORN network has already reconstituted itself under new generic sounding names in anticipation of the 2012 elections, Matthew Vadum, a senior editor and analyst with the Capital Research Center (CRC), explained in an interview.
“This bankruptcy filing is really a public relations head fake,” he said.“ACORN is altering its organizational structure because the name has been sullied and damaged.
But it remains a potent force.”
Moreover, he added, the congressional funding ban that went into effect last year is now lifted."

Illinois congressmen paid campaign funds to wives - chicagotribune.com
"Two Illinois congressmen have paid their wives hundreds of thousands of dollars out of their campaign funds in the last decade, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission.
The campaign to re-elect Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. has given wife Sandi Jackson's company at least $315,000 for her work.
Rep. Bobby Rush's campaign has paid his wife, Carolyn Rush, more than $240,000 to serve as a consultant.
Two other Chicago-area congressmen, Danny Davis and Luis Gutierrez, have given their wives smaller amounts for doing campaign work.
The four lawmakers, all Democrats, were re-elected last week."
not only is this disgusting, the liberal media's cover up is even worse!

Air Pelosi Ends
Air Pelosi Ends - By Kathryn Jean Lopez - The Corner - National Review Online
"There’s been a lot of controversy about the expense of and use of military aircraft to get Speakers of the House around in recent years — especially when Nancy Pelosi asked for an upgrade (and because she’s a she).
That is apparently about to end.
Presumptive Speaker Boehner just told reporters he’s flown commercial for 20 years and will continue to do so as Speaker."
This is a BIG deal to me.
