We are members and leaders in ACORN. The A8 consists of national, state and local board members, presidents or chairs. As such, we are leaders in our communities and in within ACORN. And we all share a passion for helping the underserved and disenfranchised through direct community action.

Historically, ACRON dismisses most of its detractors by utilizing three basic arguments;

1) the attackers are GOP partisans and have a political agenda.

2) the attackers are disgruntled employees with an axe to grind

3) the attackers are disenchanted members and have no knowledge or information.

The ACORN 8 complaints are not so easily dismissed. As leaders and board members, we are loyal members, are knowledgeable and we have fiduciary duties and responsibilities to our membership.

We are ACORN. The national board is responsible for the organization. And we are trying to exercise our fiduciary duties and obligations to our membership. We have legal standing, to enforce our rights and pursue ACORN in courts of law and in the court of public opinion.

What We Are Not –

We are NOT trying to Destroy ACORN. We are ACORN, we love ACORN and are only attempting to reform the association and return it to its original mission and purpose.

We are NOT disgruntled ACORN employees or GOP / Republican operatives. Thus, we do not have a personal or partisan axe to grind or a political agenda to support.

We are ACORN. We don’t get mad, we don’t get even … we get ORGANIZED!!!
