The purpose of this letter is defend an American treasure. ACORN is democracy at work in its purest form. ACORN employees and volunteers work tirelessly to defend the poorest of the poor against whatever corporate interest is currently exploiting people without lobbyists. A belated thank you to U.S. Reps. Betty McCollum and Keith Ellison for their votes against defunding ACORN. 

I want a sincere apology from both of our U.S. senators and the six other U.S. representatives from Minnesota for their votes to defund ACORN, thus siding with the infamous James O’Keefe. Mr. O’Keefe was removed from his Rutgers dormitory for calling his fellow black students the N word. He was once fired from his job for making phone calls to Planned Parenthood, stating that he would send money but only if the money were used to abort black fetuses because there were too many black people. He who actively associates with nationally recognized leaders in anti-semitism, professional racism, plus people who are proponents of Aryianism. He is the guy who deceptively edited the taping of ACORN employees allegedly breaking the law. A lot of what I said can be found at Salon.com and Firedoglake.com.

Thank God for U.S. District Court Judge Nina Gershon for her preliminary injunction stopping the implementation of this obvious Bill of Attainer against ACORN. Judge Gershon writes about the unconstitutionality of withholding funds from ACORN in absence of any finding of guilt. Mr. O’Keefe was recently arrested for trying to set up bugging equipment in a U.S. senator’s offices. Mr. O’Keefe and his fellow cohorts are facing felony charges.

The apology must assure all of us that never again will so many elected federal legislators be so ealily duped by a racist clown.
