Letter to Senator Gillibrand about ACORN
Written by Michael Vass
The following is a verbatim copy of a email letter sent to Senator Kirsten Gillibrand at 7:41am today. Feel free to copy and paste this letter to the Senator as well.
Senator Gillibrand,
I am a 41 year old, New York State resident, American citizen, professional blogger, small business owner and member of the press.
I have been following coverage of the investigative reporting on ACORN that has been released during the last week. I have followed the responses of ACORN to these videos. I have read about the accusations of lawsuits by ACORN, and the potential charges being brought against the individuals that have highlighted the corruption of various ACORN offices.
I have a question for you.
Please explain to me, as a constituent and tax paying business owner of New York State, why you were among the 7 Senators that voted to continue to give the tax dollars of myself and other New York residents to ACORN?
I believe that I have a right to this answer. Because if even 1/10 of the problems and crimes highlighted in this video are accurate, and they have been noted to occur in our State, then I do not wish this organization to receive any of my tax dollars. Nor do I believe the majority – if not all – New York Residents would wish this either.
In 2010 you will be seeking re-election. I am aware of the fact that you support HR 3200, but did not conduct any town hall meetings to discuss this controversial topic. Nor did you respond in any manner to a letter and email sent previously to you about this issue. I am aware that you have received an endorsement from ACORN this June.
If I am to vote for your re-election, I believe that the very least you can do is to explain your vote for ACORN. As one of the 2 Senators of the State of New York whose responsibility is to represent me and others in this State, I believe this is a duty you have.
Thus if you have made a statement explaining your actions, please make me aware of it. If you prefer, as I would, a direct response you can reach me at info@vassconsult.com or 718-344-6921. I am also willing to meet with you for an interview on this subject that I can present to my readers in New York as well as the 125 countries around the globe that read my writing every month.
Sincerely,
Michael Vass

Hi Michael,
I wrote something similar to the Gillibrand office, and I have not heard a response. Through media, I heard she felt she didn’t want to hurt the people that really need the assistance from Acorn.
I found it very funny that is her thinking. She would support an organization that would help a prostitution ring, as long as they would help out low income citizen’s? She does realize there are other groups that the money could go to.
I hope she doesn’t run, because I’m going to make sure nobody forgets issue.
