ACORN is presently engaged in a campaign to silence ACORN whistleblowers and reformers through intimidation and legal action. Consequently, we believe that the “cease and desist” letter is a frivolous attempt to silence ACORN whistleblowers and reformers.
This is a similar strategy to the attack ACORN recently launched against Anita Moncrief in a multi-million dollar lawsuit. ACORN while calling members of the ACORN 8 dillusional has decided that they must spread fear to members of ACORN 8 to attempt to silence these whistle blowers.
When there was discussion regarding Wade Ratke’s use of the name ACORN International, members were told there was nothing that could be done because the name is not trademarked. All one has to do is to look in the business phonebook of any city to see all the business bearing the name ACORN. The term ACORN 8 was given to the group by ACORN staff, as a way to isolate us. Whoops! That came back to bite them.
We as reform advocates decry the tactic of suing whistleblowers – especially, low to moderate income people who do not have the financial means to effectively fight back in courts of law. But we may need to fight this is court and we will need your help and support.
Help David beat Goliath again!
