AUGUST 2008 : (REPORT : DRUMMOND PIKE HAS AGREED TO "MAKE WHOLE" THE EMBEZZLED FUNDS STOLEN BY DALE RATHKE, THE SON OF ACORN FOUNDER WADE RATHKE {see THE TIDES FOUNDATION})
Walking the cat back brings up this:1992 : (CHICAGO , IL : ATTNY SANDY NEWMAN HIRES OBAMA TO BECOME DIRECTOR OF PROJECT VOTE-IL, AN ARM OF ACORN {See GEORGE SOROS, DEMOCRACY ALLIANCE}; AT THE SAME TIME OBAMA BEGINS TRAINING ACORN ACTIVISTS)
Which in turn trails back to this:1982 : ("PROJECT VOTE" {AN ACORN FRONT GROUP LAUNCHED BY NWRO ORGANIZER/ACORN FOUNDER ZACH POLETT; See FUTURE US PESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA} & "HUMAN SERVE" {FOUNDED BY RICHARD A. CLOWARD, FRANCES FOX PIVEN & NWRO ORGANIZER HULBERT JAMES} ARE THE FLAGSHIP ORGS OF NEW VOTER RIGHTS MOVEMENT LED BY GEORGE WILEY'S WELFARE RIGHTS CRUSADE {See NWRO} & SPEARHEADED BY ACORN--See 1993 MOTOR VOTER LAW )
Nice job on an interesting piece. If you want to follow the money there to campaign financing, you might see what you have on Andy Stern from the original article.
