Like Dominoes Falling: ACORN Layoffs Imminent: New Orleans, DC, NYC (video)
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on October 3, 2009
Pimp parody of Wade Rathke, co-founder of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) and Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 100... ACORN layoffs imminent
You’ve seen when hundreds and thousands of dominoes are lined up like rigid soldiers, and one at the beginning of the line is lightly tapped, tipping over and resulting in the rest of the dominoes to tip over, one by one, in rapid succession?
Well, I think of James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles as being the “first finger” that lightly tapped that first domino in ACORN’s Baltimore office… and then, the carefully positioned dominoes of ACORN’s corrupt empire started to fall, one by one by one by one… faster and faster…
Kinda like this…

With federal funding nearly all removed, and ACORN’s contributing sources drying up faster than a splash of Evian spilled in Death Valley in summer, ACORN layoffs were inevitable. More to come, guaranteed.
Matthew Vadum, Big Government: ACORN Plans Massive Layoffs:
A credible source close to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now revealed that the activist network intends to lay off all staff members operating out of its New Orleans headquarters. All information provided by the source to this reporter in the past has turned out to be correct.
[...]
My source said that one of the employees to be cashiered in the Crescent City is the daughter of disgraced ACORN founder Wade Rathke. Rathke’s wife, Beth Butler, also works for ACORN but it is unclear at this point if she too will be laid off. Rathke’s son also reportedly is employed by ACORN.
ACORN also plans to lay off two-thirds of its Washington, D.C., staffers as soon as Wednesday of next week, according to the source. Layoffs will also extend to ACORN’s affiliate the ACORN Institute.
The source also revealed that all or most of ACORN’s development staff in the group’s New York City office will soon be laid off if they haven’ been laid off already.
ACORN’s already tarnished image took a major hit last month when BigGovernment.com unveiled undercover sting videos in which ACORN staffers across America were shown advising a pair posing as a pimp and a prostitute on the finer points of avoiding prosecution for prostitution, importation of underage illegal aliens to serve as sex workers, obtaining government grants under false pretenses, and tax evasion.
The adverse publicity generated by the videos and the group’s never-ending scandals is slowly but surely drying up ACORN’s funding sources.
