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.

Senator McCain BETTER be LOADED FOR MOOSE tomorrow!!!

Now if you could just put it in all caps, it would be perfect. Looks like great ammunition, just hard to read.

OSSABAMA’s old SSocialism and totalitarianism has NO FUTURE.
It has been tried and it failed everywhere and made many death,killed many people.
OSSABAMA is AN OLD MAN(very old)a real has been with modern clothes and a young face with white teeth.

The future belongs to core values,reason,faith....ie the true sensible conservatism.And this is the real answer to the “crisis”.
Free,conservative people,don’t believe that STATE is GOD and will never give up their freedom to a man(some fake Messiahs,Lenin,Hitler,Caesar or....), a man made Institution(U.N....)or any kind of groups.

OBASSAMA ACORN AYERS WRIGHT ODINGA...might be enough to understand what’s going on!
