Email I just received:
Why is Barack Obama trying to hide his relationship with ACORN?
According to a recent story, Obama ran leadership training seminars for ACORN and became “old friends” with them by the time he ran for Senate. But until he scrubbed his website earlier this week, Obama claimed that he “never worked for ACORN.”
So what is the true story?
A recent editorial in Investors Business Daily exposes a deep relationship between Obama and ACORN.
For starters, Obama paid ACORN, which has endorsed him for president, $800,000 to register new voters, payments his campaign failed to accurately report. (They were disguised in his FEC disclosure as payments to a front group called Citizen Services Inc. for “advance work.”)
I can see why Obama does not want to talk about his close ties to ACORN.
In Las Vegas — after the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys mysteriously showed up as a newly registered voter — authorities raided ACORN offices.
In Ohio ACORN submitted 10,000 bogus registrations.
ACORN has been hard at work in Pennsylvania too. According to a retired Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice:
“Between March 23rd and October 1st, various groups, including ACORN, submitted over 252,595 registrations to the Philadelphia County Election Board” with 57,435 rejected for faulty information. “Most of these registrations were submitted by ACORN, and rejected due to fake social security numbers, incorrect dates of birth, clearly fraudulent signatures, addresses that do not exist, and duplicate registrations. In one case, a man was registered to vote more than 15 times since the Primary election.”
And in Missouri, according to Investors Business Daily, “one ACORN registrant named Monica Rays showed up on no less than eight forms, all bearing the same signature. Suspicious election officials sent letters to some 5,000 ACORN registrants in St. Louis, asking the letter recipients to contact them. Fewer than 40 responded.”
Nevada...Ohio...Pennsylvania...Missouri.
These are all swing states where a few hundred votes could make the difference.
The mainstream media wants to help Obama run the clock without answering questions about his relationship with ACORN, which according to news reports has submitted thousands of fraudulent voter registrations this year.
We can’t let Obama off the hook.
Liberals will stop at nothing to win the White House and a filibuster-proof Senate this year. Please send this email to your family and friends so they can stay updated on the liberals’ plans for election day and next year.
Best regards,
Senator Orrin Hatch
