ACORN forms coalition
The advocacy group ACORN lines up strong allies in their push to get backing for President-elect Obama's economic recovery plan.

ACORN members garnered support for their "Jobs and Economic Recovery Now" campaign in
downtown Wilmington Thursday afternoon.
Several organized labor groups including the State Education Association joined with
ACORN, with Pam Nichols of the DSEA saying the economic crisis has trickled from big
business, to taxpayers, and to their children, which in turn affects the way teachers
deal with their students.
ACORN Delaware president Angela Walker says coalition members came together because a
fragile economy affects all Americans.
ACORN hopes one large voice will urge members of congress to support Obama's plan to
help jumpstart the economy.
