ACORN: Official Thread

Some things never "change"...

Quote:

King and Pierce County prosecutors filed felony charges today against seven people who allegedly committed the biggest voter-registration fraud in state history.

ACORN agreed to pay King County $25,000 for its investigative costs and acknowledged that the national organization could be subject to criminal prosecution if fraud occurs again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the worst case of voter-registration fraud in the history of the state of Washington. There has been nothing comparable to this," state Secretary of State Sam Reed said.

Again, you say?

Quote:

Several municipal clerks across the state are reporting fraudulent and duplicate voter registration applications, most of them...coming from the group ACORN, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

"There appears to be a sizeable number of duplicate and fraudulent applications," said Kelly Chesney, spokeswoman for the Michigan Secretary of State's Office. "And it appears to be widespread."

Surprise, surprise.

By the way, what group did Obama work for as a community organizer, again?

Are you intentionally placing Obama's name next to a criminal group of people or are you seriously asking?

I feel it necessary to observe that even if Obama worked for ACORN (Which he did not) he would have worked there over 20 years ago. The relevance of which, I'm not real sure of. I believed a lot of things 20 years ago that I do not believe today... and so did you Jake.

2nd your answer is: Developing Communities Project (DCP)

If you did intentionally place Obama's community work in the same light of a handful of criminals, I'm embarrassed for you.

Maybe not for ACORN, but certainly right next to them.

Obama to ACORN just last year: "I've been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.?

There is a very long relationship there.

Not really, but any Republican with the same level of involvement with BJU will rightly earn a mention beside the school by political opponents.

Hence, the mention of Obama alongside the election-fraudsters at ACORN, given that according to ACORN's Toni Foulkes:
"We have invited Obama to our leadership training sessions to run the session on power every year, and, as a result, many of our newly developing leaders got to know him before he ever ran for office. Thus, it was natural for many of us to be active volunteers in his first campaign for State Senate and then his failed bid for U.S. Congress in 1996. By the time he ran for U.S. Senate, we were old friends." (Social Policy, v.34 no.2)
