While we don’t yet know what’s really going on, we do know these ACORN affiliates have powerful friends, like the SEIU — the Service Employees International Union. Actually, they’re even more than friends; they’re swapping so much spit they’re riddled with mono.
The head of ACORN, Wade Rathke, is the founder and chief organizer of SEIU, which donated $33 million to President Obama’s campaign last year. We also know that the place the main ACORN affiliate calls home in New Orleans, is supposed to house about 270 related organizations, a mix of corporations and non-profits from California to Louisiana.
Does that former funeral home look big enough to you to house 270 organizations? The owner of the building is a company whose partners are — oh my gosh! — Wade and Dale Rathke (name sounds familiar?)
As I told you earlier, Wade also happens to be the president of ACORN and he and his brother Dale — who’s accused of embezzling $1 million — are listed as president or partner in dozens of companies based in that building in New Orleans.
So that’s what we know so far. But the big question remains unanswered: Millions of dollars flow into that building every year; where does it go?
