RE: Barack Obama & ACORN
DATE: October 10, 2008
Today, the McCain campaign outlined the intimate and longstanding relationship between Barack Obama and the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (ACORN). Given ACORN’s recent efforts to engage in voter fraud and to disrupt our political system, Obama’s affiliation with this group raises serious questions about his judgment and ability to lead this nation.
As of today, ACORN is under investigation for fraudulent activities in at least 11 key battleground states and accused of wrongdoing in many others. According to election officials across the country, about 50% of ACORN’s voter registrations are fictitious. This week alone, ACORN offices in Nevada were raided by state officials – after the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys appeared registered to vote in Las Vegas – and in Connecticut, a seven-year-old child registered to vote as a 27-year-old.
Below is a brief summary of Obama’s connection to the organization. A diagram of connections outlining Obama’s many ties to ACORN can be found here: http://www.gop.com/ObamaAcornTree .
The relationship between Barack Obama and ACORN dates back to the early 1990s, well before the start of his political career. In 1992, Obama directed Project Vote – an arm of ACORN that also encouraged voter registration. Around the same time, Obama began teaching classes for “Future Leaders Identified by ACORN,” and according to an op-ed at the time, Obama continued his community organizing work largely through these classes.
Obama soon moved on from his role as a community organizer and became a trial attorney for ACORN. In 1995, Obama represented ACORN in a lawsuit against the state of Illinois for its supposed failure to implement a federal law designed to make voter registration easier, and thus increasing the likelihood of voter fraud. Obama also joined two well-known boards with strong ties to ACORN – the Woods Fund and the Joyce Foundation. Under Obama’s watch, the Chicago ACORN branch received thousands of dollars in grants from both organizations.
During this year’s Democrat primaries, Obama’s campaign paid $832,000 to Citizens Services, an ACORN-affiliated organization, for get-out-the-vote efforts. Sensing the need to distance itself from the controversial organization, however, Obama’s Federal Election Commission report mischaracterized this work as “staging and lighting.”
Given his longstanding ties to the organization, it is not surprising that Obama accepted the endorsement of ACORN in 2008. In a press release touting the endorsement on his official campaign website, Obama says: “I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues that you care about my entire career.”
Obama’s subsequent failure to disclose the true nature of his relationship with ACORN, however, is very surprising and deeply troubling. His campaign website, which on one page features the aforementioned quote, claims on another page that Obama has no connection to ACORN. This direct contradiction illustrates Obama’s willingness to distort the true facts and seriously calls his judgment into question.
We are hopeful that three actions come from today’s discussion. First, Barack Obama has to be forthright about his relationship with ACORN. Secondly, given their willingness to compromise the voting process in key battleground states across the country, a thorough investigation of ACORN must be conducted before Election Day. Finally, federal funding of ACORN must cease immediately until the full examination has been completed. American taxpayers should not be funding an organization mired in potentially illegal activities.

Pure communist garbage Obama is doing. ACORN is a really SCARY bunch of loons! Obama is trying to distance himself from ACORN but this puts the bullseye on Obama.
“According to election officials across the country, about 50% of ACORN’s voter registrations are fictitious.”
WOW!
First, Barack Obama has to be forthright about his relationship with ACORN.

Well done, Senator McCain.

ACORN is dangerous. They will stop at nothing to get their agenda through. I just can't believe in today's society that anyone would stand for something like ACORN.

I remember in the late 70's when an ACORN group got started here in Texas. It was composed of the most radical locals. Many had criminal backgrounds and they used known communist legal practices as well as plain thugery.
I never thought ACORN would become as powerful an organization as it has. They have always attracted radical leftist attorneys many of whom were ACLU members also. Now ACORN counts many Democrat politicians as supporters, such as Obama. ACORN, through it's criminal voter fraud, attracts the same type of crooked politician that labor unions used to attract.

In one of those big bailout bills that was shot down. ACORN got a big chunk of change. That was the big gripe of the Republicans. Why is the Federal government supporting a left wing, democrat inspired organization and paying it no less.

ACORN will be rewarded for their efforts by a liberal and socialist heaven known to them as a Democrat dominated Congress with an ACORN partner and disciple in the White House. It is the socialist's version of the Islamofascist's reward of 72 virgins.
DEM CONGRESS PLANS ON OBAMA WIN; PELOSI MAY CALL HOUSE BACK...
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20081011/D93OHKO80.html
WASHINGTON (AP) - After consulting with Barack Obama, Democratic leaders are likely to call Congress back to work after the election in hopes of passing legislation that would include extended jobless benefits, money for food stamps and possibly a tax rebate, officials said Saturday.
The bill's total cost could reach $150 billion, these officials said.

Lynn, I don't get it either. People have known for such a long time, how corrupt it is and dangerous too. It can really mess up elections for one thigns. And Obama is right in the thick of it.

Tom, wow thank you for the information. This ACORN group really scares me with all the things they have done and are doing now. They have got to be stopped somehow. Shutting them down would be the best thing if it could happen.
Posted by: Wild Thing at October 12, 2008 06:10 PM
Mark I don't know why it would be so hard to go after them, your right there is so much about them documented proof how corrupt they are.
