RICO ACORN: Seize Its Assets for the American People

RICO ACORN, right now. Seize all their assets. Seize the assets of their many hundreds of subsidiaries.

Seize the assets of Wade Rathke, his thief brother, and all the top executives. Let them squeal and squirm for a little bit trying to figure out how they will support their lavish, parasite lifestyles without income, and then start asking the real questions."

So says James Simpson with Americanthinker.com.

Simply put, prohibiting ACORN from funding what some have called a "criminal enterprise" with your tax dollars is not going to stop ACORN.

Simpson again:

"Earlier this summer Congressman Issa (R CA), minority ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, commissioned a report on ACORN. Completely overlooked by
Democrats and the mass media -- no surprise there -- this report chronicled ACORN's legacy of criminal activity."

"Appendix 2 of the report analyzes the viability of criminally prosecuting ACORN as a continuing criminal enterprise under the Racketeer Influenced, Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). It concluded that ACORN does indeed qualify as a candidate for prosecution under these statutes. This law authorizes authorities to seize all the assets of any organization deemed a RICO before it prosecutes anyone."

And Simpson confirms that "federal prosecutors obtained a conviction against Drexel Burnham Lambert Junk Bond magnate, Michael Milken, on much flimsier evidence."

And the evidence against ACORN is not flimsy.

Simpson yet again: "An in-depth investigation of ACORN assisted by the power of the RICO statutes... would likely produce evidence of rampant corruption both within the Obama administration as well as the Democratic Party at large.

There has been a symbiotic relationship between ACORN and the left wing of the Democrat Party for decades at this point and a particularly close relationship between Obama and ACORN."

If we really want to stop ACORN... if we really want to stop craft and corruption that possibly goes all the way to the highest levels of our government... RICO ACORN.

Case closed. Let's get rolling.
