Jan Shakowsky's Husband: Convicted Felon Robert Creamer Defends ACORN

Robert Creamer , the convicted felon, husband of Jan Schakowsky defends ACORN:
ACORN has worked for decades to organize a nationwide grass roots community organization with a mission of empowering poor and moderate income people. ACORN has never been one of those outfits that seeks just to "represent" the interests of the poor. Since its inception it has been made up of poor and moderate income people themselves. Its members pay dues, elect their leadership and choose the battles that they fight. Its executives don't make huge salaries and - in my experience - most of its organizers and staff are true believers who really care about the battle for social justice.

You might say Robert Creamer is an expert on the subject of corruption and "community organizing".
