ACORN Illegally Operating in Maryland | ||
2009-09-15 | ||
According to the following documents, ACORN, Inc.–the parent organization of all things ACORN–forfeited its corporate charter in Maryland in 2006. ACORN Housing forfeited its corporate charter in 2008. Any ACORN office in the state of Maryland is potentially operating illegally. The Maryland Attorney General has made noise about prosecuting the intrepid journalists who undercovered the misdeeds of ACORN employees. Perhaps he should focus instead on how ACORN was able to operate without a license in his state.

#7 Consider it done, Blondie. ;-p According to the Maryland Small Business Development Center: "How much does it cost to register a business with the State? Depending on the business entity type the cost can start at $11 and range to $100 or more. Costs include, but not limited to, Trade name application, trade name holding for one year, Articles of Incorporation/ Organization, Certificates (LP,LLP) and any other circumstantial costs. A current fee schedule can be found on the Department of Assessments and Taxation Web site." Somebody have the time (and energy) to register the name? I'll help front the costs. :-D |

#5 May I have extra butter on mine, please, Barbara? How much does it cost to register a business name in Maryland, anyway? It can't be that much. |
