Busy Week!

It has been a busy week, hasn't it? Those two wonderful young people, James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles put their own safety aside to get the goods on ACORN. (See their undercover videos at biggovernment.com if you haven't already.) I applaud these two young people for finally getting something done about the corrupt entity, ACORN. For years ACORN has needed an investigation and a cut in government funding for their blatantly corrupt operations. Their activities were ignored by the mainstream news media and Congress. Each time a corrupt dealing was uncovered the excuse was made that it was a small handful of people, or staffer acting without approval of management.

Within a week of the O'Keefe/Giles videos both the Senate and the House voted to cut ACORN funding. Finally!

I think we should remain vigilant however, for entities such as ACORN will resurface with a new name, but the same people and agenda.

This is the first of what I hope are many victories in the war against corruption in this country. One battle does not win the war, however, and we citizens must keep our eyes open, video cameras ready, and do our own journalistic work to expose and bring corrupt officials and organizations to justice.
