RNC: Obama's ACORN Tree

Last update: 7:25 p.m. EDT Oct. 14, 2008 WASHINGTON, Oct 14, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Why Is Obama Trying To Limit What Is Said About His Relationship With ACORN Instead Of Letting The Public Know The Whole Truth? Today Obama Tried To Distance Himself From ACORN By Saying That His Relationship With The Group Is Limited To One Lawsuit Where Obama Represented ACORN: The following was issued by the Republican National Committee: Obama Said That His Relationship To ACORN Is Limited To When Obama Represented ACORN In A Lawsuit Against The State Of Illinois. "'First of all, my relationship to ACORN is pretty straightforward,' he said, according to a pool report from outside the resort where he is holding his final debate camp in Oregon, Ohio. 'It's probably 13 years ago, when I was still practicing law, I represented ACORN and my partner in that representation was the U.S. Justice Department in having Illinois implement what was called the 'Motor Voter' law, to make sure that people could go to DMV's and driver's license facilities to get registered,' Obama said. 'It wasn't being implemented. That was my relationship and is my relationship to ACORN.'" (John McCormick, "Barack Obama Talks About ACORN," Chicago Tribune's "The Swamp" Blog, www.swamppolitics.com, 10/14/08) Obama: "As an elected official, I've had interactions with them... But they are not advising our campaign." (John McCormick, "Barack Obama Talks About ACORN," Chicago Tribune's "The Swamp" Blog, www.swamppolitics.com, 10/14/08) But Obama Had Previously Said That He'd Been "Fighting Alongside ACORN" On Issues "My Entire Career." Obama: "I've been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career..." (Steven Malanga, "Organizer In Chief," [New York] City Journal, Summer 2008) But Beyond Representing ACORN, Obama Also Taught Classes For Future Leaders Of ACORN, And They Endorsed His 2008 Presidential Campaign: Obama Directed Project Vote And Later Taught Classes For "Future Leaders Identified By ACORN And The Centers For New Horizons." "He [Obama] says he is drawn to politics, despite its superficialities, as a means to advance his real passion and calling: community organization. ... In 1992 Obama took time off to direct Project Vote, the most successful grass-roots voter-registration campaign in recent city history. Credited with helping elect Carol Moseley-Braun to the U.S. Senate, the registration drive, aimed primarily at African-Americans, added an estimated 125,000 voters to the voter rolls -- even more than were registered during Harold Washington's mayoral campaigns. 'It's a power thing,' said the brochures and radio commercials. ... Obama continues his organizing work largely through classes for future leaders identified by ACORN and the Centers for New Horizons on the south side." (Hank De Zutter, Op-Ed, "What Makes Obama Run?" Chicago Reader, 12/8/95) ACORN's Political Action Committee Endorsed Obama. "[A]CORN's political action committee endorsed Barack Obama for President. ... The endorsement reflects a belief that Obama -- who worked as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago -- understands that change must come from the ground-up, as part of a working coalition, rather than from position papers." (Katrina Vanden Heuvel, Op-Ed, "ACORN: Obama Gets It," The Nation, 2/23/08) Obama's Campaign Paid Over $800,000 To ACORN Subsidiary For Get-Out-The-Vote Efforts, But "Mistakenly Misrepresented" Their Work To The FEC: Obama's Campaign "Paid More Than $800,000" To ACORN For Get-Out-The Vote Efforts; The Campaign Originally "Misrepresented" The Group's Work To The FEC. "U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign paid more than $800,000 to an offshoot of the liberal Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now for services the Democrat's campaign says it mistakenly misrepresented in federal reports. An Obama spokesman said Federal Election Commission reports would be amended to show Citizens Services Inc. -- a subsidiary of ACORN -- worked in 'get-out-the-vote' projects, instead of activities such as polling, advance work and staging major events as stated in FEC finance reports filed during the primary."

Brown, "Obama To Amend Report On $800,000 In Spending," Pittsburgh Tribune Review, 8/22/08) While Serving On The Board Of Directors Of The Woods Fund, ACORN Received Thousands Of Dollars Of Grants From The Organization: The Chicago ACORN Received Grants Of $45,000 (2000), $30,000 (2001), $45,000 (2001), $30,000 (2002), And $40,000 (2002) From The Woods Fund.

What I can add to the statement by the RNC regarding the connections between Obama & ACORN (& Ayers!) is the following:

In 1992, Obama took time off from his work at the Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland Law Firm in Chicago to direct Project Vote which was run out of the Chicago Chapter of ACORN. It is a very lucrative voter registration drive and Obama’s efforts, in large part, get Senator Alice Palmer elected. Palmer is supported by Students for a Democratic Society and other leftist political groups. Because of Project Vote’s immense success, Obama is asked by the head of ACORN in Chicago, Madeleine Talbot, to train all of her community organizer leaders in his organizing methods. In 1995, Obama represented ACORN in a lawsuit against the state of Illinois over enforcement of federal law involving voter registration issues for low-income people, according to the Associated Press. Soon afterward, ACORN supported and lobbied for the “Motor Voter Act” at the national level. 1995-1999, Barack Obama served as the founding Chairman of the Board for a philanthropic organization that unrepentent domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers, secured the grant funding for and set up called the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC). From 1999-2001, both Barack Obama and Ayers were members of the board of an anti-poverty group, the Woods Fund in Chicago (The Woods Fund is the organization that supplied the money to attract Obama to Chicago and employ him at the Developing Communities Project in Chicago to begin with). 1999-2002, Obama served as a member of the Board of Directors for the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), a “philanthropic” organization that Bill Ayers secured the funding for and serves as the grantwriter and co-chair of its two operational arms. 1995-2000, Ayers served as Co-chair of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge’s Chicago School Reform Collaborative (CSRC), a second operating entity of the CAC. The Grassroots School Improvement, a group operated by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), received $350,000 from Barack Obama and Bill Ayers at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) between 1998-2002. In 1998, Barack Obama and Bill Ayers at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) gave $65,000 to ACORN’s Grassroots School Improvement project In 1999, Barack Obama and Bill Ayers at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) gave ACORN’s Grassroots School Improvement project $135,000. In 2000, Barack Obama and Bill Ayers at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) gave ACORN’s Grassroots School Improvement project $100,000. In 2001, Barack Obama and Bill Ayers at the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) gave ACORN’s Grassroots School Improvement $50,000. In 2006, Barack Obama announces his run for the U.S. Presidency on the Democratic ticket. In November 2007, Barack Obama made a speech to ACORN in which he said, “I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.” — Barack Obama. In 2008, the Obama Presidential Campaign paid $800,000 to an ACORN subsidiary, Citizen Service, Inc., to operate “get out the vote” efforts, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. ACORN Votes, ACORN’s national political action committee, endorsed the candidacy of Barack Obama during the 2008 Democratic Presidential Primary. In 2008, Barack Obama won the Democratic party’s nomination for President and named veteran U.S. Senator Joe Biden as his running mate. Acorn chapters across the nation unleash Barack Obama’s version of an election with massive voter fraud in 13 states (All battleground states coincidentally) including Ohio. ACORN took all the money they were granted by Obama and Ayers and set up a nationwide syndicate of 110 ACORN agencies with the primary purpose being to help Barack Obama steal the 2008 American Presidential election. Actions of ACORN operatives must be stopped until the investigation Senator Cornyn of Texas called for today is finished.
