There should be plenty of money out there for ACORN, yet they claim they don't have the revenue to continue to operate?

Is this really about the revenue or this something else?

I would have to ask, in the wake of the passage of the healthcare bill, is this instead really "Mission accomplished"?

They are not closing.

They are just renaming the corrupt organization.

What he said.

They're getting rid of a tarnished name. Nothing more. There's been no remorse nor wish to amend their ways. In the case of these activists, the ends justify the means, and if they have to nuke New York to get their way, then those millions of people should be grateful to have such an opportunity.

The arrogance of this special interest group is remarkable and the willingness of politicians to go along with it is... Well... Not surprising.

I read that the New York and California branches have renamed themselves.

So if ACORN publicly shuts down on April 1st, I wonder what it will be reborn as?
