It has been said before, and will be said again, the question is, when are liberal supporters going to see the truth?
ACORN The Association of Community Organization for Reform Now is the subject of a Complaint filed today by the Nevada Attorney General. Also named in the suit is Christopher Howell Edwards the Las Vegas Field Director for ACORN. The complaint states that ACORN canvassers were required to fill a daily quota of new voter registrations, with a bonus possible in the “Blackjack” or “21” which would give the canvasser an extra 5$ if they registered 21 in a day. Secretary of State Ross Miller and Larry Lomax, Clark County's registrar of voters both say that the quota system encouraged canvassers to turn in false registrations, in direct contradiction of Nevada State law.
ACORN which claims to be Non-Partisan, is anything but non-partisan. In the 2008 Election it openly endorsed Barak Obama for President and openly campaigned for him.
Few people are familiar with ACORN in terms of where it came from, or what it is about.
In the 1960’s a group calling itself the National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO), led by George Wiley and founded on the principles developed by Robert Cloward and Francis Piven, was fighting for the rights of the poor... (snip)
Who are Robert Cloward and Francis Piven? They were a couple of Sociologists from Columbia University; the same school Barak Obama went too incidentally. They published a paper that would have tremendous effect on what was then the future, what we are living today. It was titled: "A Strategy to End Poverty." In the Nation 202.18 (02 May 1966). This single paper has had a profound effect on our society. Historians will be studying this one for decades to come.

if the republican party is stupid enough to put up with democrat voter fraud across the u.s.,
then, that’s the way it is.

Your tag line has it down perfect.
Its not just fraud, ACORN is into more than just voter fraud.
BTTT
This article has a deeper history of ACORN and where it has its roots. Perfect ammo for discussing ACORN with liberals.
They know the truth. The truth is that they can't win without massive vote fraud.
The real question is: "When will Conservatives stop thinking that Liberals are just misguided and naive?".
5.56mm
Maybe when they get that Liberals are doing this stuff with a deliberate and orchestrated strategy.
What’s happening now is not an accident. Remember Rahm’s “Never waste a good Crisis” comment, yea, they knew about where and how the housing crisis happened. ACORN is wrapped up in the middle of making it happen! So to is the Democrat leadership.
Does anyone have info on how many states have found ACORN fraud and did something about it?
Oh, and tracers work both ways...

I don’t know the answer to that. I do know that 5 people in Washington State, or somewhere near that number went to prison for it back in 2004. Yea they were working for ACORN in Seattle.
That was the year Christine Gregoire stole the Governor’s office from Rossi.
Great article on ACORN. Will be useful to circulate it.
Acorn is now being fronted by a group calld Worker’s Families which used to be the other group.
They have been scratching each others backs for decades now.
thank you!
Damaging elements of acorn will not kill acorn. It isn't just a sweet lil voting outfit that has bad people who sneak in now and then. It is corrupt from concept and to the core. The RICO statute need to be used against it.
Too bad RICO has no teeth left to it. Thanks to Clinton. Grrrrrrr
If the American people are ignorant enough to put up with voter fraud, then I guess the rest of us just have to pay the price too. Democracy can be damn frustrating.
[. . .ACORN is into more than just voter fraud.]
The goal is to disrupt the U.S. electoral process to the point where it is no longer credible as an institution. Then it can be replaced by committees.
