Tarnished Brand Name

ACORN -- the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now -- that's been around for decades, has decided to change its name.

But not its leadership. Or its goals.

Naturally.

And it's still using its questionable finances to threaten and file lawsuits and harass a small handful of courageous whistle-blowers into oblivion, if they can. All the while protecting its former leadership who have crawled beneath the rock of CCI, the "clearinghouse" in a New Orleans funeral home into which all monies flow.

As for the name change, it will now be known as Community Organizations International. And this "international" collection of progressive thugs is receiving millions of dollars in taxpayer money.

That's cash that was once yours.

Since it's Monday, you may not want to think too hard about that.
