    Excerpt:

    Which brings us to Mr. Obama, who got his start as a Chicago "community organizer" at Acorn's side. In 1992 he led voter registration efforts as the director of Project Vote, which included Acorn. This past November, he lauded Acorn's leaders for being "smack dab in the middle" of that effort. Mr. Obama also served as a lawyer for Acorn in 1995, in a case against Illinois to increase access to the polls.

     

    During his tenure on the board of Chicago's Woods Fund, that body funneled more than $200,000 to Acorn. More recently, the Obama campaign paid $832,000 to an Acorn affiliate. The campaign initially told the Federal Election Commission this money was for "staging, sound, lighting." It later admitted the cash was to get out the vote.

  2. ACORN has a long history of being accused of voter fraud (typically right before an election). On subsequent investigation, it turns out that any fraudulent registrations did not translate into fraudulent votes. A registration is not the same thing as a vote.

     

    Could it be that ACORN purposely floods the election boards with fraudulent registrations in the final days before an election knowing that there will not be enough workers and time to process all of the registrations?

     

    It appears that it has already resulted in fraudulent voting this time.

    From the above article:

     

    "ACORN's political wing has endorsed Barack Obama for president, but Ben LaBolt, a spokesman for the Obama campaign in Ohio, said ACORN has no role in its get-out-the-vote drive.

     

    During the primary season, however, the Obama camp paid another group, Citizen Service Inc., $832,598 for various political services, according to Federal Elections Commission filings. That group and ACORN share the same board of directors. "

     

     

    CNN report about ACORN and mentions Obama's contribution of $800,000 to ACORN.

    ACORN has a long history of voter fraud. It seems to me, that if they truly wanted to put a stop to a lot of the fraud, they would stop paying their workers for the number of registered voters. Their policy of pay/voter card encourages fraud. I think they know that and continue flooding the elections offices around the country with fraudulent cards knowing that there aren't enough workers to catch every fraudulent card.

    I'll file that under shady.

  5. U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign paid more than $800,000 to an offshoot of the liberal Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now for services the Democrat's campaign says it mistakenly misrepresented in federal reports.

     

    An Obama spokesman said Federal Election Commission reports would be amended to show Citizens Services Inc. -- a subsidiary of ACORN -- worked in "get-out-the-vote" projects, instead of activities such as polling, advance work and staging major events as stated in FEC finance reports filed during the primary.

  6. It is scary. You don't have to look hard to find more and more disturbing information about ACORN and their fraudulent activities.

     

    More articles about ACORN. Be sure to watch the news video in Michelle Malkin's link.
