There should be massive national and statewide investigations into ACORN connected voter and election fraud tamperings. There are some but it needs to go viral in epidemic terms.
In St. Louis, four registered voters pass through one of the local polling places. 34 votes were tabulated.
Somebody help me with the fourth line!

The name has been changed to “The Department of Gittin’ Even”
Must be right up there with “The Department of The Powers That Be”

Obama: “The ACORN I saw yesterday is not the ACORN I knew.”
Bump for another great CFP article.
I found an interesting group while looking into Wade Rathke. For those who ask who is he? Wade Rathke is the Chief Organizer of Community Organizations International (formally Acorn International)

BTTT for later.
I fear you are right. I can’t see a future with no civil war unless they voluntarily divide the country. The division of ideals, morals are too wide and growing each day. Some liberals are even suggesting the same.
We get the Constitution, they can make their own since they don’t care about it anyway. We get the South too. Cold weather sucks. :P

ACORN IS 0BAMA!
He created the structure that makes ACORN what it is today.

ACORN’s Nutty Regime for Cities
(Editor’s Note: Sol Stern’s political trajectory has taken him from the University of California’s student movement in the 1960s to editorship of the New Left magazine Ramparts to writing books and articles on a wide range of political matters from a conservative point of view. The following excerpts from a three-times lengthier article present his critique of ACORN, one of the country’s pre-eminent organizing groups..)
f you thought the New Left was dead in America, think again. Walk through just about any of the nation’s inner cities, and you’re likely to find an office of ACORN, bustling with young people working 12-hour days to “organize the poor” and bring about “social change.” The largest radical group in the country, ACORN has 120,000 dues-paying members, chapters in 700 poor neighborhoods in 50 cities, and 30 years’ experience… Not only big, it is effective, with some remarkable successes in getting municipalities and state legislatures to enact its radical policy goals into law.
Community organizing among the urban poor has been an honorable American tradition since Jane Addams’s famous Hull House dramatically uplifted the late-nineteenth-century Chicago slums, but ACORN and Addams are on different planets philosophically. Hull House and its many successors emphasized self-empowerment: the poor, they thought, could take control of their lives and communities through education, hard work, and personal responsibility. Not ACORN…
ACORN’s bedrock assumption remains the ultra-Left’s familiar anti-capitalist redistributionism. “We are the majority, forged from all the minorities,” reads the group’s “People’s Platform,” whose prose Orwell would have derided as pure commissar-speak. “We will continue our fight…until we have shared the wealth, until we have won our freedom…We have nothing to show for the work of our hand, the tax of our labor”-claptrap that not only falsifies the relative comfort of the poor in America…But never mind-ACORN claims that it “stands virtually alone in its dedication to organizing the poor and powerless.” It organizes them to push for ever more government control of the economy, as if it had learned no lessons about the free-market magic that made American cities unexampled engines of job creation for more than a century, proliferating opportunity and catapulting millions out of misery…

Editor’s Note: On page 77, Tjerandsen presents a conversation between Saul Alinsky and Fred Ross on the role of the organizer:
...Ross recalled Alinsky’s interest in an episode involving a meeting with a board of education. Alinsky asked him why he stayed outside and let the council president go in by herself.
Ross replied, “Because I wanted her to get in the habit of standing up…and demanding her rights without my help.” Alinsky went on to ask why he slipped in later, while she was talking to the board.
“Well,” I tell him, “that was the first time in her life she had ever gone up before a public official…and I wanted to be on hand to help her out in case she got stage fright and started to muff the thing.”
And Saul is right on me: “And what difference would it have made if she had muffed it?”
“Well, it would have been a terrible blow to the organization...
(Alinsky said), “But it’s not only the possible destruction of the program that’s involved here—and this is another thing these ‘nondirectivists’ always overlook—there’s something else that’s equally if not even more, important and that’s the effect on the individual. (H)ow do you think this council president would have felt if she had dropped the ball, and you hadn’t been around to help her pick it up!”

Obama *IS* ACORN
Maybe it should be renamed OCORN or 0CORN.
