a comment on Gateway Pundit:
Each of us need to do our own “citizen journalism” and start looking into our local connections between ACORN offices, SEIU and local, state and federal officials. We have a significant role in history these days. It can be the time in our history where the people took back Washington and made great strides in rooting out corruption in local and state governments as well.
Where is the breaking story Gateway says it has? I see the history of ACORN and Gaspard but no mentioned of when, where and by whom ACORN was fined. Is new information there or am I losing it?
SEIU literally OWNS the Democrats in the Indiana Legislature.
Democrat House Speaker Pat Bauer doesn’t even take a leak without first asking them if it’s Ok....

Yeah the comments were good. Best:
“...the way things are going, this Administration is going to have to stop by Bigfoot 4X4 and purchase a lift kit and monster-truck tires for that bus.”
I cannot find it either. Doing a minor search, there is nothing published yet. Think I'll wait on this one.
Thanks. I really didn’t know if it was me. I try to keep up on ACORN but its such a rats nest I see even that Fox News in the interview with Rathke, rather than be specific, made comments such as “it has been reported that . . .”
So we've got several issues here:
1) How did they get Roman Polanski over from France to do this?
2) Weren't all the people he canvassed too young to vote anyway?

GASPARD = America Coming Together (ACT) = GEORGE SOROS
Soros-Backed Activist Group Disbands as Interest Fades

A year ago, the liberal group America Coming Together was on the cutting edge of national politics, spending tens of millions of dollars on a massive voter-mobilization project in every presidential battleground state.
The dream was that ACT — heavily funded by billionaire George Soros — would play a decisive role in getting Democratic nominee John F. Kerry elected president and then remain in business as a permanent force in liberal politics.
Instead, the group this week began sending e-mails to most of the 28 people who make up the remaining ACT staff warning that their paychecks would stop at the end of August. All the state offices have been, or are soon to be, closed.
The news represented a long fall for ACT and its sister group, the Media Fund. The groups had attracted such Democratic heavyweights as former Clinton aide Harold Ickes, Emily’s List founder Ellen Malcolm and Service Employees International Union President Andrew L. Stern.
The architect of ACT was Steve Rosenthal, who had won his spurs as political director of the AFL-CIO and by 2003 was determined to build a liberal voter-mobilization organization that would be independent of the Democratic Party, labor unions or other traditional interest groups.
The idea captured the imagination of liberal donors. Soros and other wealthy contributors saw ACT as a vehicle for taking the fight to President Bush, whose policies in Iraq and at home they vehemently opposed, at a time when many Democrats in Congress were treating a war president gingerly.

Soros and his close associate — Progressive Corp. Chairman Peter Lewis — together put $38.5 million into ACT and the Media Fund. With this seed money, the two organizations collected $196.4 million, enough to set up voter mobilization programs in every presidential battleground state and to flood the airwaves with pro-Democratic commercials in the early spring of 2004 when Kerry’s campaign was broke.
By all measures but one, ACT and the Media Fund were a great success, helping to turn out record numbers of new voters. But that one measure was the one that counted. After Bush’s reelection and GOP gains in the House and Senate, Soros and Lewis pulled the plug on their support.
Soros “was disappointed by the outcome of the election,” said his spokesman, Michael Vachon. “At the same time, he is very pleased with the work that ACT did.”
Asked whether Soros will once again open his checkbook for ACT, Vachon said Soros’s plans “are evolving and not yet nailed down.”
But ACT officials are not optimistic.
For now, ACT will be reduced to a research operation, analyzing strategies to turn out key blocs of voters. Rosenthal yesterday put an upbeat face on the turn of events. “We are still forging ahead; we expect to be doing very serious research in Virginia on exurban and infrequent voters,” he said.
“It has proven much tougher to sustain this as something year-round than we had anticipated,” Rosenthal said. Now, he said, the task he and others face will be figuring out “just how to ramp up and ramp down” as donor interest rises and falls. Rosenthal will continue to work with ACT, but he said he now plans to start his own consulting company.”
Obama knows the extent of the dissolution of the sanctity of the ballot box. He and his minions are counting on it to keep them in power. You will hear a pin drop the morning after the next presidential election when it is painfully obvious to the casual observer that the vote was rigged nationwide and there is nothing that can be done to undo the stolen election.
The progressives have destroyed the election process and are happy to eliminate it altogether. There is little that can be done unless huge outcry reaches the ears of the state governments.
I am fairly certain that these criminals and other democrats will find a way to use taxpayer money to pay off this 775K fine.
FReep mail me if you want on/off the list.

“There are 37 Democrat secretaries of state who control the registered voter lists in those states. They control how many fraud votes are cast. Unless we use purple thumb dye or picture ID’s which have been outlawed in Indiana by the supreme court there will be ten million fraud acorn votes in 2012...just like in 2008.”
THIS is our biggest problem !!
B T T T
Missouri Ping!
“ACT hired dozens of felons some convicted of sex offenses, assault and burglary ? to conduct door-to-door voter registration drives in Missouri and at least two other swing states”
And these are the fine upstanding citizens the Obama administration was going to use to ring our doorbells for the upcoming census.
My hair stands on end....
