Ohio Secretary of State Linked to ACORN, Project Vote

The national development director for Project Vote, an affiliated organization of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, has been linked to embattled Ohio Secretary of State, Democrat Jennifer Brunner. Karyn Gillette of Project Vote was a campaign consultant for the Brunner campaign, according to information found in a post made by Rick Brunner on April 11, 2006 on the secretary of state’s own blog.

“Our candidate had gone earlier in the day to have some meetings and work out of Karyn Gillette's office, but when your correspondent arrived in his S-10 pickup truck, our staff person, Lauren, drove that back to Columbus, while we continued on to dinner with Craig Bashiene and John Lancione. We were accompanied by our consultant, Karyn Gillette. Karyn and her business partner, Mary Grace, have been very helpful to the campaign.”

Earlier this morning, a former Lucas County Commissioner was interviewed on WTAM 1100 (Cleveland) also providing the Brunner-ACORN links through Gillette. She claimed that Brunner’s campaign paid Gillette $21,000 in consulting fees in 2006. Brunner’s husband had a blog that thanked Gillette for her considerable support.

She was the one who told the NPR reporter that she did not support Obama. After hearing such an absurdity why would anyone believe anything she said?

Maybe she supported Hillary in the primary? She's probably lying, but that is a possibility.

I wish I trusted the feds to freeze and investigate ACORN, but...

We need to infiltrate groups like Acorn to get the real evidence on them. That is a long term process, not a lot of help right now.

After whatshe has tired to pull here in Ohio I do not beelvie she has a chance at being elected. Remember she was appointed by Strickland and this isn’t making him look very good either. I think both will go down in 2010 when both are up for re election. The economy has got much worse under Strickland and the passage of the living wage in 2006 which will be nearly impossible to get rid of as a constitutional amendant I think if the republican runs with that as an issueand blames it for the job losses the just might get the people to rise up. It will need 66% of votes in 2/3’s of the counties.

Well well. Isn't that special. Ohio is vote rigged from top to bottom. I wonder how many FBI agents are ex ACORN people as well, cause they sure have been doing a piss poor job arresting these voter fraud felons, the felons in the media trying to sway the election, exposing Obama's history of commie activism with Ayers, and other enemies of the Nation.

Thanks for the post, jess!

More from the link:

In testimony Wednesday in the lawsuit brought by the Pennsylvania GOP against Project Vote, former D.C. ACORN staffer Anita Moncrief stated under oath that in November 2007, in ACORN’s D.C. offices, Gillette gave Moncrief an Excel file of donors Gillette said she had gotten from the Obama campaign, told Moncrief to de-dupe the file and identify the campaign’s maxed-out donors to call for “get out the vote” contributions. Attorney Heather Heidelbaugh told me in an interview yesterday, “… before we started the hearing, ACORN’s attorney, Catherine Simpson -- again before we started the hearing -- said one of her witnesses was going to be Karyn Gillette, Anita’s supervisor. After Anita said on the stand that Obama’s campaign contacted Karyn Gillette -- Karyn Gillette was gone. She wasn’t in the courtroom. She wasn’t put up on the stand. Why? Because I would have asked her and she would have been under oath and she would have had to answer.”

Where's Karyn???

How many Secretary of State positions are now in Democratic hands? How may are working with ACORN?

We have Robin Carnahan as our SOS. She is the daughter of Jean Carnahan that inherited our Senate seat when John Ashcroft stopped campaigning against her dead husband.

I would not be surprised if there is a ACORN connection in Missouri.

What makes you think a shameless aparchik like Brummer will allow a vote count that ousts her in 2010?

It’s from “Young Frankenstein” (”That’s Frankenstein”.)

Every time the name of the Cloris Leachman character, Frau Blücher, is spoken, you hear the sound of horses whinnying off camera.

Some have said that blücher means glue in German, and that the horses were whinnying in fear when they heard blücher, glue, spoken. That’s not true, but some still think it is.
