Lewis said ACORN in the meantime will have to turn away many low-income clients it normally helps with threatened foreclosure or tax preparation.

Why? Those activities aren’t tied to helping obtain a mortgage. She sounds like a spoiled child.

They suspended those activities because of the illicit advise spewed by ACORN employees on how to circumvent the law and engage in illicit activities.

The problem for ACORN - and one that law enforcement must engage in, is to determine what kind of advice they were providing others seeking assistance. Was the advice provided legitimate, or did it help people circumvent the law? Given the moral and ethical flexibility displayed by ACORN employees on the video, it’s a ripe question.
