Don’t forget they also registered the entire Dallas Cowboys starting roster. I’m actually impressed that they could list the roster accurately.

About time. Have the legal system root them out at the base; dismantle them.

Well, I hope and pray this person gets a chance to spill the beans. We’ll see.

I’m surprised that Eric Holder hasn’t snuffed this out yet.

We HAVE to have photo ID for voting.
Without it, the republic is doomed.

I don’t care if we have to provide the IDs for people through taxpayer funding. It must be done.

And all “absentee” ballots must be confirmed before being counted.

I’ll be first here to say this will go nowhere and the MSM will ignore it or spin it as partisan “hate”.

What happened to the Black Panther dudes holding clubs in PA last year. Informed Freepers know where that went.

Let’s hope he doesn’t mysteriously die in an auto accident prior to testifying. Of course, what can he say about ACORN that we don’t already know?

You need ID for/to:
Drive a car
Buy a car
Board an airplane
Buy alcohol
Buy cigarettes
Buy an ‘R’ rated movie ticket
Pick up items purchased online at a B&M store
Get a job
Buy gun(s)/ammo/black powder
Buy shoe polish or spraypaint
Buy cough syrup
etc.,etc.,etc.,etc.,etc.,etc.,etc.,

But not to vote? Which impacts all of the above, either directly or indirectly.
Why is that?

Well I hope but don’t expect.

After all, people like Barney Frank are still at the top making sure ACORN (Reform now) get taxpayer funding.

Nope. Photo ID is only for getting access to town hall meetings.

That needs to be part of a campaign ad,
against that Congressbastard in particular,
and the democRat party in general.

I’ll bet their corporate funding is being affected. This is why they want Glenn Beck off the air. He has been too effective in calling attention to their crimes.

I have no problem with ACORN being slapped down, but if that should happen, they’ll just re-form under another name.

As it is now ACORN doesn’t exist. Now their official name is Reform Now.

the obvious pitfall of basing your political power on a thug organization that is made up of sixth-grade dropouts

nice, this trial could run right up into Dingy Harry’s race in 2010.
