Ms. Reid…you make me proud to be an American! I agree with everything you and the others are trying to do…I am under the impression that if Acorn has nothing to hide they would have opened their books to you …no questions…thank you for being a patriot!

Ms. Reid is a patriot — a true patriot.

ACORN has done some good work. All patriots should recognize that groups like ACORN could, under the leadership of people like Ms. Reid who simply want everything to be “on the up and up” — become something that both liberals and conservatives can support — a private organization of regular people working together to help to empower the downtrodden. Groups like ACORN have the potential for phenomenal service in the community provided that the corruption is cleaned up. It is a shame to see what could be a very fine organization become so corrupt at high levels. I think there needs to be a major “clean-up” operation in this organization and Ms. Reid, along with others within ACORN who have principles and a deep sense of fairness, seems to be a sign of hope that it can happen.

We should all want the downtrodden to have a hand up in life. Private organizations of patriots working together to make that happen are vital. Let’s all pray that ACORN will not die but will be make a comeback and be completely revitalized by people like Ms. Reid who have good intentions and a willingness to fight the good fight but simply want to play by the rules.

Amen! I have been in mortgage lending since 1992 and I know that I can help! I am not in the position to send $$$, I have tried to become involved in helping low to mod borrowers keep their homes, but because the color of my skin (white) I have been discouraged (harrassed, called a racist, etc).
Fight the good fight, we conservatives are right with you!
God bless you and Mr. Beck - we surround them!

Dear Marcel & Karen,

I happened to see you on Glenn Beck last evening and was compelled to find your website and write to you. Having just read Ret LCDR Eldridge’s letter to you all I can say is he speaks the same words that I came here to write.

I am sure that there are MANY people out there from all parties that applaud what you are doing. Integrity and honesty are sorely lacking in this country. Fight the fight and know that there are many small voices out here that support you!

Dear Ms. Reid,

I just finished watching your interview with Glenn Beck. Just for the record, I am a conservative and would never, EVER, support any liberal. With that being said, I would like to applaud YOU, as well as, those who are joining you, for standing up against getting your message out. I have been following the acorn story and I find how they operate to be very sickening and disgusting. I also agree with what Mr. Beck stated of how the dems ‘USE’ people to gain their control. Ive worked in the welfare field for almost seven years and I have seen first hand what goes on and its appalling that people ‘THINK’ that dems help them. The ONLY thing they do is oppress and control them - NOT help them out of poverty.

I hope that your group is successful in exposing the fraud that goes on behind closed doors.

God bless

Jon - Florida

Comment on About Our Organizing by Sharon Ramsey

Everyday I look to see if there has been progress by anyone to see the books. I have so much respect and appreciation for your courageous stand. You seem principled and genuinely concerned for the poor. Your abilities were being used for deceptive purposes. I hope you recover the dues you paid in good faith. The people behind this corruption miscalculated the ethics and determination of the American spirit. What they just did not understand was that if they overloaded the welfare system and brought to the mortgage industry, America would still be America. We would begin again. Every good patriot strives to succeed but values freedom more than treasure and God above all. When I get my SSDI I will help you to the extent I can. Please do not return to ACORN. Instead, become a new honest, creative, transparent organization that will honor you.

I was thinking that we should all go to our local chapters of ACORN and demand that they support you and that they demand accountability as well. Is this a good idea?

Comment on Why Congress Should Deny ACORN Funding by niki

I saw you on the Beck show and I have to admire your courage to stand up and tell the truth. You are going to be heros and role models for other whistle blowers and for young people everywhere. I pray for your safety and peace… Please stay strong and don’t every back down from what you know is right. The world needs more honest, courageous people like you in it! Millions of people of every color and creed have heard your story now, and we support you! You should let us know how we ‘little’ people can help your plight. STAY STRONG! God Bless You!

Marcel, you are inspiring!
I had written off ACORN as a corrupt and exploitative group of political hacks until your appearance with Glenn Beck.
I pray that you and others who want to return ACORN to its original purposes: to organize the less fortunate to help themselves climb the social ladder, will be successful.
Know that there are thousands more who may not take the time to respond in writing who, nevertheless are enthused by the alternatives you and your cohorts offer.
God bless you!
