ACORN, Fannie Mae and Motor Voter
American Thinker ^ | 9/16/2008 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 09/16/2008 11:55:23 AM PDT by markomalley

 M. Simon traces the funds Fannie Mae pumped into vote fraud  specialists ACORN, and explains how that organization pressed for the grant of mortgages to unqualified buyers, leading to the subprime mortgage  mess and Fannie Mae collapse.

He also links the organization to Chicago politician and "post-partisan" nominee for President, Barack Obama:

ACORN is a former legal client of Senator Obama's, as the Sun-Times reported in 2006:

In 1995, former Republican Gov. Jim Edgar refused to implement the federal "Motor Voter" law, which Republicans argued could invite fraud and which some Republicans feared could swell the ranks of Democratic voters.

The law mandated people be allowed to register to vote in government offices such as driver's license renewal centers.

Obama sued on behalf of ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. The League of Women Voters and other public-interest groups joined in.

"He and his client were the ones who filed the original case -- they blazed the trail," said Paul Mollica, who represented the League.

Is there any way to turn this into a video game so people will pay attention?

How about a political Reality TV Show? Then people will tune in and pay attention.

The Author of “Stealing Elections” John Fund, made the very relevant point yesterday on H&C that recent changes to voting laws are going to make the possibility of FL-style recounts much more likely.

All voters should be registered 15-30 days before an election. No new registrations after that. This would allow local officials to check for fraud. It is galling to think that any idiot, who is too lazy to give a thought to the responsibility of voting before election day, can just simply walk-in and vote.

It's an oxymoron. Anyone stupid enough to consider voting for Obama will not be smart enough to understand the reasons not to vote for him.

To add insult to injury, ACORN receives public funding. We’re paying them to screw us.

“that organization pressed for the grant of mortgages to unqualified buyers”

unqualified buyers = illegal aliens with ITIN numbers, no SS#

It simply amazes me how the media and Open Borders Lobby has managed to suppress the cause and result connection between lenders catering to illegal aliens, the subprime crisis and the downfall of our economy. I’ve asked everyone I talk to if they are aware....most don’t think illegal aliens can even get a bank account, much less a mortgage.

Perhaps the extent will be made known when they are ready to convince us that a North American Union and the Amero is somehow the ‘cure’ for our economic woes.
