A Republican state legislator released documents Tuesday which he says show the community-organizing group ACORN focused on helping Democrats in three legislative races in the November 2008 election and had developed a game plan to "take power” in Oklahoma within five years.
"They say they’re not political, but one of the subdirectories was called political action plans,” Reynolds said. "It was their political plans to take over key targeted races in Oklahoma City to show how powerful they are.”
One of the key legislative races mentioned in the documents was the Senate District 43 race involving Reynolds’ brother. State Sen. Jim Reynolds, an Oklahoma City Republican who won by about 3,600 votes in 2004, won by 159 votes in 2008.
Mike Reynolds said he was contacted in late summer 2008 by people who had leased office space near SW 25 and Robinson Avenue to ACORN. He was told the group had stopped paying the lease. Reynolds said he bought two computers for which passwords were found in desks.
Oklahoma Republican Party Chairman Gary Jones said ACORN, officially the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, had three Oklahoma City offices in 2008. The organization now does not list any Oklahoma City office on its Web site.
No one answered at an ACORN office Tuesday in Tulsa. Messages left at an ACORN office in Washington were not returned. A spokesman with The Advance Group, a New York-based company which handles public relations for ACORN, said Tuesday he was unaware of the documents.
Todd Goodman, chairman of the Oklahoma Democratic Party, said he was unaware ACORN had any volunteers working in Oklahoma City during the 2008 elections.
Goodman questioned the release of the documents a year after their alleged discovery.
Reynolds, who said he had been busy with legislative matters the past several months, said about 1,600 documents are on the computers. Some of them have nothing to do with Oklahoma and deal with other states.
He said he has converted nearly 60 into a document format that can be viewed by most computer users; he’s posted them on a Web site, which he said is not yet available to the public.
His intent "is to dispel the idea that ACORN wasn’t a political organization,” Reynolds said. "That’s all they were about was politics.”
Most of the documents on Reynolds’ Web site, made available to The Oklahoman, are not on any letterhead.
Few have any dates or any indication who wrote them.
Reynolds said computer files show who composed them. Jones said several show the files were created on a computer at state Democratic Party headquarters.
Goodman denied the allegation.
The released documents also include what appears to be a form letter on Oklahoma City ACORN stationery asking the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to expedite the processing of immigrant citizen applications. State Sen. Andrew Rice’s name is on the bottom of the letter; his signature is not.
Rice, D-Oklahoma City, said Tuesday he didn’t write the letter and never worked with anyone from ACORN.

Time for RICO or class action against ALL of ACORN.
Hmmmmm
FReep mail me if you want on/off the list.
I’ll bet they register less than 10% republicans... if that.
People are going to jail over this one...
Thank you, for this article and the links ...
When there are so many millions of dollars; and so much power to change our fundamental foundation of our Constitution: how can people not get involved and stirred to action?
We are in extreme danger of being in a death spiral in America. MO.
That cap and trade advertising leafs much to be desired! Seriesly!
I still cannot fathom why the masses don't understand this.
Just as the Klan was in the 1860's....both branches from the same tree.
ACORN is the worst thing since the Chicago mobs......
Tom Delay was ousted from office over far far less.
“Jones said several show the files were created on a computer at state Democratic Party headquarters. “
Needs repeating.
The only thing worse than Chicago mobs are Chicago politicians. Both are thugs. One gets it done on the public dollar.
Nancy Pelosi “most ethical congress in history” should step down NOW.
She is the gift that just keeps giving.

That is a creepy picture...
It’s becoming quite apparent that our current Federal Government is illegitimate since the majority of it was not legitimately elected by the American people in an honest election.
Didn't you get the memo?
I sure hope he used some forensic experts to document and maintain the integrity of these machines. How they were handled is important to any potential prosecution.
heads up here
It doesn't matter what affiliation they are because these are mostly indigent citizens or illegal aliens. On the day of the general election they are transported to the polls by partisans and given a facsimile ballot instructing them who to vote for.
Lots of people who will lie easily will not lie under oath. ACORN is finished.
That’s a fact! ACORN left in the middle of the night and left everything in the office.
I will be happy to confirm what is said in this article by the Repubicans. You can take anything said by Mike Reynolds and Gary Jones and take it to the bank.
These two are largely responsible for putting the State Auditor behind bars. You will not find two more honest Republicans anywhere in the State of Oklahoma. I have had the pleasure of working with these two and would trust them with anything I had
As for the State Dem Chair, I wouldn’t trust him if he told me the sky was blue. I would have to go outside and check.
The reason in OK they went after Senate seats as our Secretary of State does not control elections. We have a separate State Election Board who is over the County Election Boards. It is a political office appointed by the head of the OK Senate. For the first time in State History Oklahoma took over the Senate and Sen Coffee chose the head of the State Election Board and now we have the County Election Boards throughout the State run by Republicans.
They enlisted ACORN to stop Jim Reynolds and a Senator in Tulsa to keep the Senate tied and the RATs in charge of elections. Jim won by 70+ votes when he always won by a lot so that tells you how much ACORN voter fraud made a difference.
Figured there was a redo to the article when The Oklahoman pulled it last night. So happy to see Gary and Mike interviewed. Mike is an expert on voting and has tried to alert people to the fact felons have been voting but the Dems were not interested.
Maybe this blessing will help bring ACORN down...

Now I wonder if there is any doubt in any one’s mind if....Obama stoled this election?
Can anyone fathom the magnitude of damage Acorn put on this nation?
Obama is an Organizer and that is for sure and he trained his students well.They took Conservative money (our)taxpayer dollars and used that money to elect the very party we were oposing.
The joke is on us....we helped to cut our own throats.
Democrates are laughing their butts off at us.What a slick trick.
And then there’s the fraudulent votes that they haven’t even finished counting yet and won’t finish. HA! Aren’t we a bunch of fools!

And to think that Barry had the balls to claim he had no idea that ACORN was receiving federal money.....
Still waiting on his public condemnation of them....I suppose hell will freeze over before that happens.

The tax-exempt Clinton Foundation had just donated $250,000 to ACORN.

The tax-exempt Clinton Foundation also helped secure "private sector" commitments for ACORN.

Senate Finance Committee Study ACORN comprises a mind-boggling 94 different affiliates, that amounts to "a big shell game," a biting Senate Finance Committee study shows. The study, by the staff of Iowa Republican Charles Grassley, reveals four ACORN charity groups give more than half their revenue to taxable entities that engage in "impermissible lobbying and political activity." ACORN and it’s subsidiaries for decades have moved taxpayer money into their own pockets and into the left-wing Marxist machine.
Sen Charles Grassley's documents show leaders of ACORN community groups transferred several million dollars in charitable and government money-----meant for the poor---- to parts of the group that have political (and sometimes profit-making) missions.
Sen Grassley's documents indicate that ACORN's tax-exempt groups----along with its tangled web of allied organizations---- used more than half their charitable and public money in 2006 to pay other ACORN affiliates.

The WFP and local Democratic Party Officials are at the center of a massive voter fraud scandal in Troy, NY. According to the Albany Times Union newspaper: Dozens of forged and fraudulent absentee ballots from people registered to vote on the WFP line were filed in the Sept. 15 primary elections in Troy.
Documents at the county Board of Elections show the fraudulent ballots were handled by or prepared on behalf of various elected officials and leaders and operatives for the Democratic and WFP. There may be as many as 50 forged absentee ballots according to people close to the case. County-wide, there were 126 absentee ballots applied for on the WFP line.
What isn’t mentioned is that WFP is nothing more than a front group for ACORN. Or as Roger Stone put it: The WFP is not about working people or families and it isn’t really a party. The WFP is a wholly owned subsidiary of ACORN.
Bertha Lewis (now ACORN CEO), was co-chair of the Working Families Party and Executive Director of New York ACORN.
New York ACORN leader, Steven Kest was the moving force in forming the party and WFP headquarters are located at the same address as ACORN’s national and NY office, 88 Third Ave, Brooklyn. (NOTE: ACORN's tentacles stretch far. It runs Ntl hdq at 2609 Canal St. and 2610 Iberville St, New Orleans AND Washigion, DC.)
WFP is essentially a money funnel which pays for an aggressive door to door canvas. Largely funded by unions, the WFP is ACORN’s “political arm” in NY State. Candidates supported by the WFP and issues supported by ACORN are both advocated on the door steps of target voter homes as they share one major voter canvas.
Adding more evidence to the ACORN-WFP link is Erick Erickson’s examination of Bertha (Excerpt) Read more at biggovernment.com ...
Not if the evidence has been tampered with, and this does not sound like the chain of custody is court-worthy.
