Acorn: Out Of Business!

Acorn is going out of business, reportedly because they're going bankrupt from all the negative publicity they've received over the past year or so.

The ACORN Association Board met on Sunday March 21 and approved a set of steps to responsibly manage the process of bringing its operations to a close over the coming months. These include:

* Closing ACORN’s remaining state affiliates and field offices by April 1st; and
* Developing a plan to resolve all outstanding debts, obligations and other issues.

Now, keep in mind that this is only the national organization. Acorn was pretty decentralized, so many local chapters could well survive the breakup.

However, at least the national group is gone... one more embarrassment down the drain.
