Minn. group asks for probe into ACORN voter work

A conservative group and several gubernatorial candidates are asking Democratic Attorney General Lori Swanson to investigate ACORN over voter registrations and other activities in Minnesota.

Minnesota Majority president Jeff Davis says a felon convicted of registering illegally in Ramsey County claimed an ACORN canvasser helped her. He was joined at a news conference on Wednesday by a handful of GOP candidates and one Democrat.

Swanson, along with the Secretary of State were both "installed" by ACORN in 2008. That's how Franken stole the election.

This probe will die a silent death.....

Let’s hope not. The citizens of Minnesota need to get behind these individuals to get ACORN discredited. ACORN is into more than just voter fraud and could very well sell us out in 2010.

Oh if Acorn threw the election for Franken, the irony would be delicious. Would he even be allowed to continue being Senator if that were the case?

Talk about an exercise in futility. ACORN agents are not going to lead any sort of investigation into their own wrong-doing, in fact, they may be counted upon to thoroughly obfuscate any serious attempt at fact-finding.

This needs an outside agency to come in, something like FBI leading a RICO investigation. Of course, the chances of that happening with the current regime in Washington, are somewhere between slim and none, and slim just left town.

Breitbart seems to be moving in a new direction: ACORN vote fraud (new story up this morning regarding vote fraud in New York).

Maybe the story will lead to Franken.

In my first post, It should read that they were installed by ACORN in 2006, not 2008.

Sorry..

That is what I am hoping Breitbarts plan was from the start. Attract their attention with the sleeze story. The media begins to follow the story and Breit brings it on home to voter fraud.

It is going to be difficult to figure out who should get the courage under fire award from CPAC this year.

In the running in my book are;

Glenn Beck

Breitbart

and the two college journalist who broke the ACORN story.

Lori Swanson is the MN Attorney General. Mark Ritchie is our scumbag Sec of State. He threw our election to Franken (stein). Part of a letter from Swanson:

Thank you for your recent phone call expressing appreciation for my decision to join the Amicus Brief in NRA v. City of Chicago. (snip) As a gun owner and recreational and trap shooter, I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. (snap)

Please be careful when you criticize.

Don Shelby claims to be a gun owner.

And we all know what he thinks about the MCPPA.

Lori Swanson has been asked to comment on this probe request and she has refused to be interviewed.
