'Go after ACORN,' judge says
Pittsburgh TRIBUNE-REVIEW ^ | Tuesday, June 30, 2009 | Walter F. Roche Jr.

A district judge who held another ACORN worker for trial Monday on election law violations urged prosecutors to go after the real culprit, the organization that employed him.

"Somebody has to go after ACORN," Senior District Judge Richard H. Zoller said about the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

"It's happening all over the country. All you have to do is turn on the television," he said, referring to voter registration fraud charges brought recently against ACORN and its workers in Nevada.

"We will," Allegheny County Detective Robert F. Keenan promised as he wrapped up his testimony.

A spokesman for District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr. said following the hearing that the county's investigation into members of ACORN and their activities during the 2008 campaign "remains open and active."

When they show up on your property to do the census, call the police. Explain that you don’t want anyone involved in criminal activities to be anywhere near you.

I think this judge may find that he’s disoriented and confused if he isn’t careful.

ACORN is rebranding itself, I have heard. How much do you want to bet the MSM never reminds us that the “new” organization “used to be known as ACORN”? Anyone know the new name?

Although it continues to appear that ACORN will get away with all of their illegal activities, I do hold out hope that someday justice will be served.

ACORN is now known as Community Organizers International or COI so now ACORN should be known as ACORN/COI to remind people.

I think it should be known as Obama’s ACORN just like the libs would use Cheney’s Haliburton just to be sarcastic.

It really is Obama’s ACORN with all the philsophical and personal connections.

On an aside, I heard Ed Schultz today say he wants Chicago politics to be employed now that Franken has won. I live in the Chicago area and anyone promoting that crap is showing they want corruption, it’s an imbred lib thing for sure.

When ACORN census takers show up on your property, call the police. Say you don’t want anyone involved in criminal activities anywhere near you...... AND that you, yourself, DO NOT get involved in criminal activities.

G-r-e-a-t idea. ACORN'S potential for wrongdoing is breathtaking. ID theft is a distinct possibilty ....... with the nefarious ACORN getting ahold of strategic info.

PASS THE WORD---HERE'S WHAT TO DO: Have pad and pencil ready. Before ACORN attempts to get your info, you get their name, ID number, name of their immediate supervisor and location of their employment. Tell them you are reporting this to L/E and are storing copies with your lawyer.

===============================================

Most frightening is the WH colluding with ACORN to control the census----getting its hands on strategic info to be used for political purposes.

The calculated Rahm Emanuel is manipulating the census using replies to build a permanent Dem majority.

Americans are supposed to be counted. ACORN census takers will cook the books and enshrine illegal hyphanates as the "new majority" (a political goal of the Obamatons).
