Was Bill Clinton The First ACORN President?
October 13, 2008 | 1 Comment
Was Bill Clinton the first ACORN President? This is from a report produced by the Employment Policy Institute. it concerns a young William Jefferson Clinton, and his relationship with Wade Rathke’s ACORN:
Local 880 wasn’t doing anything new. Rathke’s Local 100 was granted automatic checkoff for union dues and representation rights for Arkansas public sector employees in 1985 by then-Governor Bill Clinton. Rathke and ACORN had endorsed Clinton when he was a 32-year-old candidate.
The ACORN fraud has been widespread and long lived in Arkansas, its birthplace.
Little Rock Housing Scandal
A controversy over public money allocated to ACORN in Arkansas but sent to Louisiana led its former state chairwoman to call the group one of the biggest scams in Arkansas and a reverend to say that as long as ACORN has a finger in it, it ain’t gonna be done right.
In the late 1980’s, the Little Rock, Arkansas city board of directors granted $150,000 to an ACORN land association to fund repairs of local dilapidated houses. But city officials found numerous problems with the project, including a requirement for potential home buyers to become dues-paying ACORN members. Eventually, the City Attorney concluded that there had been at least three contract violations by the ACORN Housing Corporation, including the possibility that the group could borrow money for other purposes while using the housing lots as collateral.
Are we going to learn now why Bill Clinton pardoned members of the Weather Underground. perhaps it was because ACORN was an off shoot of SDS/weather underground, and they had done a lot of crooked stuff under (and for) Clinton back in Arkansas and then in the general elections. They knew where Clinton’s skeletons were buried and so he took care of them. I don’t know that to be fact, but there is some smoke there.
If true, that would make Bill Clinton ACORN’s first President!
