2010 Congressional Elections and ACORN

[phuloi]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Many say ACORN stole votes in 2008.

Now it appears that they'll have the opportunity to steal congressional seats in 2010?

You remember ACORN - the gang of wild-eyed leftists who registered legions of fictitious voters for Barack Obama just last year?

Investor's Business Daily wrote:

"[ACORN's] voter-registration fraud is rampant. In Nevada, state officials say the fraudulent registrations included forms for the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys football team, including quarterback Tony Romo... Nevada, along with several other key battleground states, requires no ID to vote."

Do you want this shameless swarm of ideologues helping Barack Hussein Obama run your government?

It seems that Obama does... in December he told a cheering mob of extremist groups, including ACORN:

"We're going to be calling all of you in to help us run the agenda. We're going to be having meetings all over the country."

And he's been as good as his word! Guess what ACORN will doing next year!

Fox News reported that ACORN "signed on as a national partner with the U.S. Census Bureau in February 2009 to assist with the recruitment of the 1.4 million temporary workers needed to go door-to-door to count every person in the United States."

That's right, the storm troopers of ACORN will be knocking on doors all over the country, pretending to count Americans the way they pretended to register voters.





Does It Really Matter If The Census Is Skewed?

YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT DOES!

First and foremost, the 2010 census will determine how many Members of Congress each state gets - and how many electoral votes!

That potentially means more votes in Congress for the extreme left.... that potentially means more votes in the Electoral College for the extreme left.

The opportunity for manipulation is HUGE.

But that's not all. The census also provides the data that Congress uses to allocate government spending - highways, schools, airports, police support, you name it.

That means, if the process is compromised, that some states - and the politicians who believe that their job is to "bring home the bacon" - will be rewarded handsomely.

Massachusetts, New York, California, and Illinois could be swilling pork. Texas, Tennessee, Arizona, and Kentucky won't be allowed near the trough.

Will ACORN - which has been perennially accused of voter fraud, embezzlement, and other illegal activities - engage in every form of deceit and treachery to cook the figures and give the extreme left greater traction in the 2012 election?







Just What Is The Connection Between Obama And ACORN?

When questioned, the Obama organization essentially said: ACORN? Who's ACORN? How do you spell that?

Specifically they denied any connection, claiming: "Barack was never an ACORN community organizer. ... ACORN never hired Obama as a trainer, organizer, or any type of employee. ... ACORN was not part of Project Vote, the successful voter registration drive Barack ran in 1992."

But Investor's Business Daily wrote:

"For starters, Obama paid ACORN, which...endorsed him for president, $800,000 to register new voters, payments his campaign failed to accurately report. (They were disguised in his FEC disclosure as payments to a front group called Citizen Services Inc. for 'advance work.')"

"What's more, Obama worked as executive director of ACORN's voter-registration arm, Project Vote, in 1992. Joined by two other community organizers on Chicago's South Side, Obama conducted the voter-registration drive that helped elect Carol Moseley-Braun to the Senate that year.

The next year, 1993, Obama joined the civil-rights law firm Davis Miner Barnhill & Galland, where he sued the state of Illinois on behalf of ACORN to implement the federal "Motor Voter" law, which the GOP governor at the time refused to do. Then-Gov. Jim Edgar argued, presciently, that the Clinton law would invite voter fraud."

So, why the denial?

Because during the 2008 campaign, ACORN's behavior all over the country was cause for alarm, not just among Republicans but among law enforcement as well. The FBI was running all over the country investigating complaints of ACORN fraud.

In both Nevada and North Carolina - two states where Obama and John McCain were running neck-and-neck - ACORN was accused of registering large numbers of bogus voters.

Obama won both states, which had gone for Bush in 2000 and 2004.

In Missouri, an ACORN operator named Monica Rays presented no fewer than than eight election forms that bore the same signature. In Kansas City, four ACORN employees were indicted for fraud.

In addition, ACORN officials were indicted in Wisconsin and Colorado. Investigations against others occurred in Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania and Tennessee.

Yet - get this - ACORN spokesman Scott Levenson had the gall to say, ACORN "has not been charged with any crime."





Did You Know About ACORN's Role In Our Current Economic Crisis?

You may already have heard about the voter fraud accusations, but do you know about ACORN's starring role in bringing about the current economic crisis?

Stanley Kurtz -- who writes for National Review - said:

"How did we get into this financial mess in the first place? Well, to a large degree, it's because lenders gave mortgages to borrowers who were unqualified, who shouldn't have been given loans in the first place. Why did they do that.... Obama at the time had his hands on the purse strings of two organizations. He was a director of the Woods Fund, and he was Chairman of the Board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC). He gave money from both organizations to ACORN, and also provided training for ACORN workers. ACORN succeeded in drawing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into the very policies that led to the current disaster. ACORN put pressure on banks by threatening them with accusations of racism if they didn't give loans to minorities, even if they were completely unqualified."

In fact, Kurtz said of Madeleine Talbot, head of ACORN in Chicago:

"[She] boasted of 'dragging banks kicking and screaming' into dubious loans."

Conservative columnist Mona Charon described ACORN as "the very people who would later descend on Chicago's banks as CRA shakedown artists."

In other words, ACORN bullied lending institutions into making housing loans to people who couldn't afford to buy houses.

The result: disaster for everybody.

More than that, this left-wing scheme ruined Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which in turn triggered the financial meltdown of the greatest nation in the world.

So ACORN played a large role in two of the greatest tragedies our nation has ever suffered: the election of Barack Hussein Obama and the recession we now endure - and the two tragedies are Siamese twins - joined together by ACORN.

Do we want this poisonous gang of left-wing ideologues to continue destroying our country by perverting the census... taking away conservative House seats... even diminishing the number of electoral votes conservative states now have?





Who Are These Guys?

We've seen how effective ACORN can be, but who are these guys?

Dig into their not-so-distant past and you find out just how vicious and corrupt they are.

Meghan Clyne of National Review Online - in a 2004 expose of the organization - summarized the situation by saying:

"In the course of its crusade to defeat the president and establish a Democratic stronghold, ACORN faces remarkable allegations: taking license with its internal bookkeeping; gathering and filing illegitimate petition forms; forging signatures; destroying voter-registration applications and other official documents entrusted to its care; profiting from illegal pay-per-vote schemes; lying to potential donors; abusing a state constitution for national-level partisan exploits; vilifying conscientious employees; and disenfranchising hundreds, and possibly thousands, of citizens."

Michelle Malkin, in an article that eerily pinpoints ACORN's role in the destruction our economy, wrote:

"If you don't know what ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) is all about, you better bone up. This left-wing group takes in 40 percent of its revenues from American taxpayers - you and me - and has leveraged nearly four decades of government subsidies to fund affiliates that promote the welfare state and undermine capitalism and self-reliance, some of which have been implicated in perpetuating illegal immigration and encouraging voter fraud."

"The Department of Housing and Urban Development funds hundreds, if not thousands, of left-wing 'anti-poverty' groups across the country led by ACORN. Last October, HUD announced more than $44 million in new housing counseling grants to over 400 state and local efforts. The [Bush] White House has increased funding for housing counseling by 150 percent since taking office in 2001, despite the role most of these recipients play as activist satellites of the Democratic Party.

"As the Consumer Rights League points out in its new expose, the ACORN Housing Corporation has worked to obtain mortgages for illegal aliens in partnership with Citibank. It relies on undocumented income, 'under the table' money, which may not be reported to the Internal Revenue Service. Moreover, the group's 'financial justice' operations attack lenders for "exotic" loans, while recommending 10-year interest-only loans (which deny equity to the buyer) and risky reverse mortgages."

Malkin wrote this article four years before the very practices she described would bring America to the brink of financial ruin.

AND YET, BARACK OBAMA WANTS TO HAND OVER THE CENSUS TO THESE POLITICAL THUGS.







How Did ACORN Become So Rich And Powerful?

Most of its funding has come from government, though some has come from groups like MoveOn.org and the National Education Association.

According to John Keitel, writing for Digital Press:

"20%, $140 Billion, of the $700 Billion bail out was to go to ACORN. Until the Conservatives stepped in and threw some light on the deal."

So they won't get $140 billion. But how many billions do you suppose ACORN WILL get to potentially redraw congressional lines and steal a few seats in the House?

The truth is, too often the Left is more aggressive and imaginative than our side - and the people we elect to office are too often more liberal than conservative.

Now is the time to use the power of our substantial minority to stop this flagrant attempt by Obama and his henchmen to steal America.

It's time we got as tough and as mean and as ruthless as these political monsters, all the while maintaining our principles and our historical respect for the law.

[reconeil]

No one should concern themselves about ACORN for the future or 2010.
After all, worrying ACORN & such Election Corruptors ON A GRAND-SCALE is about as
sensesless as worrying about what Al Gore thinks weather will be about a year from now.

Besides, last election in our already known being abysmally corrupted Voting System had a
multitude of indictments & convictions for both Fraudulent American & likely even Illegal
Alien Votes (?), making same actually WORST EVER CORRUPT ELECTION in American History.
No results were changed,...and even after only months all pretty-much forgotten & most all
ACORN Voter Fixings are & have been shoved-under-rug. Out of sight, out of mind.

Thus, and realities being what they were/are,...isn't our politically appointed Department of
Justice JUST AS CORRUPT and/or sort-of Democrat & ACORN Voter Fixing Conspirators?

While at it, how-in-the-hell did President Barack Hussein Obama II or Jr. ever get TOP SECRET
FBI Clearance, anyway? I don't believe it wise even clearing him for: "Classified".
Is FBI also: "In-the-tank" for The Dems & ACORN,...just like Pelosi's Justice Department?
Do politics now even TRUMP National Security? Or,...has FBI gone bonkers ALSO?

Flush the congress in 2010 !!!

Obama Ties to ACORN Grow Stronger: Involves ACORN in Census

Posted by pat

Obama Campaign Paid ACORN $800,000, Then Lied About It To The Federal Election Commission

ACORN, or the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, is the well known community organization group closely associated with Barrak Obama. This enterprise, made up of rabid social misfits, far left loons, and violence prone nutcases is associated with so much crime that it is difficult to keep up with the almost daily revelations. For example, ACORN is now implicated in voter fraud in 14 States.

ACORN does not limit themselves to mere voter fraud, but engages in thuggery, intimidation, extortion, trespass, breaking and entering, and financial shenanigans. See for example the results of current Congressional hearings. In one notable instance, one of the founders of ACORN embezzled $948,607. ACORN did not bother to report the crime. Why? Because ACORN spends only other peoples money. They could not care less. No doubt the gang members wish they had beat the culprit to the loot. Oh well. Another day.


Activity Map of ACORN Fraud Cases

One would think that President Obama and the Democrats would want to disassociate themselves from this disreputable organization. Instead, with the full compliance of the Mainstream Media and Democratic politicians, ACORN will now help the Obama Administration with the census. One wonders why the government would ask ACORN to help with Census while another branch is actively investigating ACORN’s shenanigans?

Obama’s early years with ACORN have been widely reported, but little is known as to what Obama actually did, other than arrange for the continual disruption of City Council meetings with ACORN activists. Of course he did say his years with Project Vote, an ACORN shadow organization with exactly the same officers, directors, staff, office, and contributors, were the highlight of his life. But recent Congressional hearings have brought to light very disturbing testimony.

From Yid With a Lid, Congressional Hearings Reveal New Acorn Shockers:

“The Obama Campaign worked directly with ACORN and the NY Times hid the story: The New York Times articles stopped when Ms. Moncrief, who is a Democrat and a supporter of the President, revealed that the Obama Presidential Campaign had sent its maxed out donor list to Karen Gillette of the Washington, DC ACORN office and asked Gillette and Ms. Moncrief to reach out to the maxed out donors and solicit donations from them for Get Out the Vote efforts to be run by ACORN. Upon learning this information and receiving the list of donors from the Obama Campaign, Ms. Strom reported to Ms. Moncrief that her editors at the New York Times wanted her to kill the story because, and I quote, “it was a game changer”. That’s when Ms. Moncrief telephoned me on October 21, 2008.”

This testimony not only had little impact on the Democratic Chair, Congressman Jerrold Nadler, but he openly tried to stall any further inquiry. Mr. Nadler seems overtly proud of the Democratic Party’s affiliation with this domestic crime group. As for Obama, he is equally open about his affiliation. As he showed when he controversially and uniquely removed the Census from the Commerce Department into his own office, and announced ACORN’s participation. And now something equally troubling:
Organizing For America is the Obama organization charged with calling everyone in Congress to support the bizzare Obama economic bills that no one gets to read until after they become law.

Strangely enough, the organization is tied to the White House and not the Democratic party. The members were to go house to house and get your pledge to support President Obama and his policies. Sounds innocent enough. Until you heard them speak. From The Birmingham News:

Obama volunteers hunt budget support in Birmingham, Alabama grassroots campaign

“About 30 volunteers in Birmingham canvassed shopping areas and other high-traffic locations to talk about the need for health care reform, an education overhaul and environmentally friendly energy development.

“If we don’t change these three things in the next 10 to 15 years, America is over as we know it,” Chris DeHaven, told the group of volunteers before they went their separate ways.”
…
“Those who gathered at Kelly Ingram Park in downtown Birmingham were urged to enlist others who share Obama’s vision and to stay away from trying to convert naysayers.

“We’re looking for supporters,” said DeHaven of Hoover, one of the event’s organizers. “We’re not looking for a fight. That will come later, when we have an army.”

The volunteers are part of Organizing for America, the same grassroots, national network credited in large part with Obama’s quick rise from obscurity to president. Birmingham and 11 other sites statewide were part of a national push this weekend by Organizing for America to trumpet Obama’s spending proposal.

Across the metro area, volunteers gave their opinions about why Obama’s plan is good for the country’s future. Then they asked those willing to sign a pledge of support for the budget.

Supporters’ e-mail addresses and other contact information were collected, to keep people engaged and to recruit more volunteers.”

Now that is just creepy. As creepy as Obama’s continued and obviously direct, affiliation with ACORN as well as his attempts to include ACORN tactics on a national level are troubling. It demonstrates a profound ignorance of what the role of the President should be. An immaturity bone deep, or a calculated maneuver to manipulate future elections.
