The drudgery of complying with laws, rules and regulations … not to mention search warrants and other judicial processes must be taking a toll on ACORN©, bastion of unfettered activity.

Today, the Louisiana Attorney General served a search warrant on ACORN headquarters in New Orleans. This information comes via NOLA.com and more specifically through reporting from The Times Picayune.

According to The Times Picayune, an attorney for ACORN issued the following statement:

Over the last two months, ACORN has been cooperating with a variety of governmental entities across the country to provide requested information and documents,” Marple wrote. “We were told that the AG’s office has no criticisms of ACORN’s cooperative efforts, but rather that the warrant was issued because of concern that former local ACORN staff members had, and may intend in the future to remove or alter electronic documents.

We at Gadabout-Blogalot have reported previously regarding the many alleged problems facing ACORN. You can read this story by clicking above on The Times Picayune or you can click here

Thanks to some great folks who count themselves as non-partisan (I have no evidence to the contrary) you can have the current health bill read to you. The same goes for the earlier House versions, and the Senate version, pushed out of committee this week.

Here is what “hear the bill” says on their homepage about part of their mission and the non-partisanship nature of their service:

We are each of us, from different political backgrounds, philosophies and regions of the country. We have no agenda other than to make it easier for you to know exactly what our lawmakers are proposing.  Download the audio of this bill, and listen to it as you would an audiobook, whenever it’s convenient for you.

It all sounds so simple for the user, and if it is what it says it is, then there is no limit to the service they can offer. Please note, in case you miss it, that you can hear everything in order of you can hear only those portions that interest you.
