"Arkansas: As local favorite Bill Clinton swept to victory under cloud of tainted contributions, an NP and ACORN-backed statewide initiative for real campaign finance reform won an overwhelming victory, outpolling Clinton and Perot combined."

Most folks do not realize that ACORN was started in Arkansas by a Weather Underground terrorist named Wade Rathke and it was originally called Arkansas Community Organization for Reform Now. When the movement went national they switched the name quickly to drop the 'Arkansas' and use Association.

Thanks! Do you have any links that shows he was actually a member of the Weather Underground? All I could find is that he was with Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), the Maoist student organization which later split off into the Weathermen.
