Blogger Finds ACORN Info for Glenn Beck

May 11th, 2009 · 11 Comments

On his television show today, Glenn Beck mentioned that neither his show’s researchers nor the Fox News Channel’s researchers could find no information about Citizens, Consulting, Inc., a New Orleans-based group many describe as “accounting central” for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, the controversial community organizing and voter registration group best known by the acronym, ACORN. Within two minutes, however, I found something about the group.

I visited the web site of the State of Louisiana Office of the Secretary of State and found the web page shown in the graphic above.

After seeing the name, “MILDRED BROWN,” listed as secretary/treasurer, I searched online telephone databases for “Mildred Brown” in each of the Washington, D.C., and New Orleans zip codes listed on the aforementioned web page. Unfortunately, none of the numbers that surfaced were working numbers. Surprised? Hardly.

Back to you, Glenn.

Try Googling Mildred Brown AND CCI and you’ll find this: http://www.implu.com/lobby/163249
You’ll see Mildred as a lobbyist with lots of other names.

Good job.
If we can’t have citizen politicians, and don’t have professional journalists who can get this, we at least — and best! — have citizen researchers. Go Bob.

How can I find out if a new group is a part of ACORN? They call themselves FACE, Faith Action Citizens for Equity or such.

MauiGirl — Check with the Hawaii Secretary of State’s web site and look up the possible names of the charity. Good luck!

Hey, I found the FACE Hawaii web site. Why don’t you call them at 808-522-1304 and ask them if they’re associated with ACORN?

Thanks for the suggestions. I found an expired business license at the Sec of State web site but still searching for other names. They aren’t shown as a non-profit either. All the articles are very skimpy with names of the FACE people who are not locals.
