New Activism Campaign on Bank of America Contributions to ACORN
By • 2/3/09Yesterday, Michelle Malkin published a mind-boggling piece of news: even after having received $138 billion in bailout funds from the government, Bank of America is still giving money to ACORN. It’s bad enough that American corporations gave lavishly to minority shakedown groups when times were good, but it is beyond outrageous that they are now effectively funneling taxpayer dollars to them. Please send the e-mail in in the new activism campaign or one of your own composition to Bank of America.

I emailed Bank of Latin America, and got the following dishonest response:
Thank you for your inquiry regarding Bank of America’s relationship with ACORN.
Bank of America does not support ACORN, an organization whose mission focuses on access to voting and advocacy work. Bank of America’s charitable giving is directed to ACORN Housing Corporation (AHC), a separate legal entity from ACORN, which is separately operated, funded, and managed.
AHC is focused on strengthening communities by addressing housing issues and foreclosure mitigation. Bank of America’s support of organizations like AHC that provide assistance to individuals and families affected by the housing crisis is part of our ongoing commitment to invest in the neighborhoods we serve during these challenging economic times.
Since 2006, our support for AHC has made it possible for the organization to prepare more than 36,000 first-time borrowers for affordable homeownership. In addition, AHC helped more than 20,000 homeowners in need of foreclosure prevention assistance last year.
