THE ANTICS OF
ACORN
ACORN (Association
of Community Organizations for Reform Now) has resorted to voter fraud, just
to get their Messiah, Barack Obama, elected. Here's a synopsis of some of
the different cases against ACORN, just in this election season alone. Are
you starting to understand what is going on here, folks? These are not
isolated incidents. Now as you read of these incidents remember, please,
that during Obama's days as a community organizer he was deeply involved
with ACORN. That ought to set of some alarm bells with the media ... ought
to, but it won't.

A Florida state attorney is investigating thousands of potentially
fraudulent voter registrations associated with the leading organizer of
Florida's Amendment 5 ballot initiative. But this is just the tip of an
iceberg of illegalities, fraud and contradictions connected to the
Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) ... Former
ACORN Miami-Dade field director Mac Stuart has declared an intent to sue
ACORN and has made charges of rampant voter fraud operations. Stuart was
employed and specifically tasked by ACORN to generate 103,000 new voter
registrations from Dade County. He reports that ACORN threw out Republican
registrations while paying for Democratic ones. Stuart also charges that
ACORN targeted ex-cons and that he personally set up registration tables
outside the Miami police department and Dade County jail.
New Mexico
Sept. 18, 2008, Judicial Watch Blog
This week officials in New Mexico's most populous county (Bernalillo)
notified federal authorities that more than 1,000 fraudulent voter
registration cards were submitted to the clerk's office. ACORN, which pays
workers for each registration, is the prime suspect since it has handled
thousands of new voter registrations in New Mexico since January. County
workers subsequently discovered that at least 1,100 new registrations list
Social Security numbers for people already in the county's database of
registered voters, names of registered voters with different birth dates and
addresses that don't exist.

Criminal investigations could be launched against at least six voter
registration workers who tried to add dead, imprisoned or imaginary people
to the voter rolls, according to the Milwaukee Election Commission and the
organization that employed them. "One woman called us to complain because
her husband has been dead for 10 years and a voter registration was
submitted," Edman said. In about 12 cases, deputy registrars paid by ACORN
were "making people up or registering people that were still in prison,"
said Carolyn Castore, ACORN's state political director. And in other cases,
workers used the same address for numerous voters or used driver's license
numbers that did not fit the voters' birth dates, Edman said. But most of
the fraud involved submitting duplicate cards for voters who were already
registered, and forging the voters' signatures, Castore said.

A national organization that conducts voter registration drives for
low-income people has curtailed its push in Cuyahoga County after the Board
of Elections accused its workers of submitting fraudulent registration
cards. Board employees said ACORN workers often handed in the same name on a
number of voter registration cards, but showing that person living at
different addresses. Other times, cards had the same name listed, but a
different date of birth. Still another sign of possible fraud showed a
number of people living at an address that turned out to be a restaurant.
ACORN has submitted about 75,000 voter registration cards to the Cuyahoga
board this year.

A community organization, with longstanding ties to Barack Obama, has,
according to numerous reports, repeatedly run afoul of voter registration
laws both locally and nationally. Philadelphia election officials recently
accused ACORN, of filing multiple fraudulent voter registrations during the
2008 Pennsylvania primary. The case has been referred to the U.S. Attorney's
office, according to Philadelphia Deputy Election Commissioner Fred Voight.
Delaware County election officials have made similar allegations against the
group, and criminal indictments are pending. This past July 24, Dauphin
County detectives offered a $2,000 reward for information about the
whereabouts of Luis R. Torres-Serrano, an ACORN worker, who was accused of
submitting more than 100 fraudulent voter registrations.

Reform Now, claims to have collected 60,000 new voter registrations in Clark
County since February ... Lomax said while he supports the goal of getting
more people registered to vote, he sees rampant fraud in the 2,000 to 3,000
registrations ACORN turns in every week.
SO WHAT DOES
OBAMA HAVE TO DO WITH ACORN?
The answer is ...
a lot. Stanley Kurtz has written another great piece about Barack Obama's
days as a community organizer for ACORN.
It is worth you taking the time to read. Unfortunately, don't expect any
mainstream media outlets to mention this information, or put two and two
together considering all of the stories just listed above.
