I want A.C.O.R.N. back and community organizers CHANGING our police departments!

It makes me furious to think of what those rightwing motherfuckers did to ACORN and how they have changed the meaning of "community organizer" all because of Obama.

It will take effective entities like ACORN and community organizers to change this police bullshit.

I mean when I think of what ACORN was and what was done to it and WHY and by WHO, it makes me furious.

who seem to be constantly bending over backwards to appease the far right for some reason. I will never forget that or forgive them for their betrayal.

However, I believe they are still doing community organizing only under a different name. I will look it up as it's been a while since I read about it.
