WASHINGTON, Oct. 19 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Following is a statement of Greg Moore, executive director of the NAACP National Voter Fund, regarding the Ohio man charged with voter registration fraud:
The NAACP National Voter Fund is shocked by the stories swirling in Ohio regarding a Defiance man who has allegedly filled in over 100 fraudulent voter registration forms in exchange for cocaine. This matter deserves the attention of law enforcement. If laws have been violated, then legal action should be taken against the people who are responsible.
The NAACP National Voter Fund has detailed guidelines outlining procedures that should be followed by its volunteers. The individual arrested in Defiance is not a volunteer on record with our organization. Any person who works on behalf of NVF is required to abide by these guidelines and all applicable federal and state laws.
We believe anyone violating the law hurts the credibility of NVF and more importantly, the thousands of hard working men and women who are legally registering people to vote.
NVF has registered over 80,000 new voters in the state of Ohio and over 225,000 nationwide. These volunteers and canvassers who have worked tirelessly to enfranchise the disenfranchised citizens of Ohio throughout the year should not have their work discredited by the alleged acts of others.
We will not allow these allegations to disrupt our efforts to mobilize voters and ensure that their votes are counted on Election Day.
Oh, but Georgianne Pitts and Thaddeas Jackson are registered with their organization.
How very Clintonion of them to stop short.
Ohio ping!
Rule number one: Never get caught.
Rule number two: See rule number one.
I love that!!!!!! One of my favorite lines.
Notice they didn't condemn the act. Merely commented that it hurts them. Perhaps they really meant:
"We believe anyone CAUGHT violating the law hurts the credibility of NVF and more importantly, the thousands of hard working men and women who are legally registering people to vote.
Just Damn! That is a lot of crack cocaine.
National Association for the Advancement of Crack Pipes
The predictable first step at stopping the blood trail - throw the guy who got caught to the wolves (notice how they neglect to mention the fact he was paid for his services in crack cocaine). I guess they're saving the charges of racism and voter suppression for when the heat gets turned up on the folks further up the food chain.
The NAACP leaders resigned enmasse today to apologize and denounce the blatant partisanship they have exhibited through the years. The association will change direction immediately prompting self-reliance, education, and employment amongst blacks especially in intercities. The organization will give special emphasis on fighting gands, drug use, and job training without reliance on taxpayer funded programs. The groups welcomes private donations in support of their new initiatives.
Hey NAACP. We are laughing WITH you.
NVF has registered over 80,000 new voters in the state of Ohio and over 225,000 nationwide. """
This sure is an out of balance statement, even just counting the lower 48 states. Over a third of their new signups are all in ONE state???????
Was it Marion Barry?
Isn't something missing here possibly the NAACP worker that hired him. Come on you know. black girl, police found drug paraphernalia in her apartment as well as the the card of the State voter registration head. REJECTED go back and try again NAACP in this instance you spin, you lose.
the sound you just heard was Ms. pittman and Mr. staton being thrown off the slaveship into the teeth of the waoting sharks!
" If laws have been violated..."
IF?????? This reminds me of Butterfly McQueen in Gone With The Wind. The NAACP don't know nutin bout no Crack da Vote!

NEW Democrat Party Emblem
Official Announcement:
The Democrat party today announced that it is changing their emblem] from a donkey to a CONDOM
because it more accurately reflects their political stance.
A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next
generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of
security while you're actually being screwed.
Damn, it just doesn't get more accurate than that."
What do you think?
I criticize and I praise too. It was so nice to speak to Zell Miller's office to thank him for his speech at the convention.
Some dems actually will engage you in conversation. Other's just hang up......such as Kennedy's office or Kerry's office.
LIEberman just puts the calls to voice mail.
Oh I let Lugar's office know what I thought of him yesterday......BIG TIME!!!!
Here's the number.....US Capitol.......will connect you to anyone at all......1-800-839-5276
Yup - - the "Mayor for Life" of good old Wash. DC
LOL.....notice I referred to her as MARXine.......
