Obama And ACORN

The Truth Is Out There.

Hey folks,

The truth is out there, and is ACTUALLY starting to be reported. Now we keep hearing about ACORN attempting to steal this election VIA fraudulent votes. {Sigh} ACORN has been around for a LONG time attempting to fix elections. Obama even attempted to deny any "associations" with ACORN. He had to take that one down from his Website. {Laughing}

According to ABC News - Being Squirrelly About ACORN

As reports pile up of voter registration fraud connected to ACORN -- the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now, a group that advocates for low-income voters – the campaign of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has sought to downplay his past ties with the group.

But in their efforts to do, Obama campaign officials found themselves forced last week to correct an erroneous assertion made on the campaign’s “Fight the Smears” webpage that “Barack was never an ACORN trainer and never worked for ACORN in any other capacity.”

That wasn’t true.

In fact, ACORN spokesman Lewis Goldberg told the New York Times that Obama conducted two unpaid leadership training sessions for ACORN’s Chicago affiliate in the late 1990s.

The “Fight the Smears” website now asserts, "Fact: ACORN never hired Obama as a trainer, organizer, or any type of employee.”

Key word: hired.

{Laughing} Yeah, that makes it all better.

Goldberg told the Times that Obama’s work for ACORN was unpaid.

Moreover, Obama also represented ACORN and other groups in the mid 1990s as an attorney suing the state of Illinois to uphold the federal Motor Voter law. The governor and other officials of the State of Illinois were refusing to comply with the law on the ground that it was unconstitutional.

Let's Stay with this for a second shall we? Think about this. So he SUED the State of Illinois, on behalf or a bunch of RADICAL, Liberal nut jobs. A bunch of CRIMINALS. Then he becomes that State's SENATOR. The Senator for a State he hated. A Senator in a position to CHANGE it. Sound familiar? Are you going to allow him to come in and change this entire Country?

Further confusing the length and depth of the Obama-ACORN relationship was the discovery by conservative bloggers of an error-riddled story in the journal Social Policy featuring not only a 2004 photograph of Obama and ACORN members but an essay called “Case Study: Chicago- The Barack Obama Campaign” written Toni Foulkes, a Chicago ACORN Leader.

"Obama started building the base years before,” Foulkes wrote in her 2004 essay. “For instance, ACORN noticed him when he was organizing on the far south side of the city with the Developing Communities Project. He was a very good organizer. When he returned from law school, we asked him to help us with a lawsuit to challenge the state of Illinois’ refusal to abide by the National Voting Rights Act, also known as motor voter. Allied only with the state of Mississippi, Illinois had been refusing to allow mass-based voter registration according to the new law. Obama took the case, known as ACORN vs. Edgar (the name of the Republican governor at the time) and we won. Obama then went on to run a voter registration project with Project VOTE in 1992 that made it possible for Carol Moseley Braun to win the Senate that year. Project VOTE delivered 50,000 newly registered voters in that campaign (ACORN delivered about 5000 of them).”

Foulkes messed up the chronology in that account, making it sound earlier than it had occurred. The Motor Voter Law was passed in 1993, the lawsuit was brought in 1995.

How many of those 5000 Votes do you think were fraudulent?

Additionally, press accounts from the time of the Illinois Project Vote voter registration drive put the number of new voters registered at 150,000, not 50,000.

Still, that doesn't seem to square with the Obama campaign's assertion that "Fact: ACORN was not part of Project Vote, the successful voter registration drive Barack ran in 1992."

Seriously folks.

Foulkes went on to note that “since then,” ACORN had “invited Obama to our leadership training sessions to run the session on power every year, and, as a result, many of our newly developing leaders got to know him before he ever ran for office. Thus it was natural for many of us to be active volunteers in his first campaign for State Senate and then his failed bid for U.S. Congress in 1996. By the time he ran for U.S. Senate, we were old friends."

Obama’s losing congressional campaign was in 2000, not 1996.

Further adding to the confusion were rather questionable charges coming from the campaign of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., which has sought to portray Obama’s training sessions in just about the most negative light imaginable.

In a conference call, McCain campaign manager Rick Davis urged reporters to ask Obama of the ACORN training sessions, “What were you teaching them? Were you teaching them how to evade the law?”

Why not? GREAT question. Since ACORN is under investigation in SEVERAL States as we speak for filing Fraudulent Voter Registrations. Like Felons, 7 year old kids, a sports team's starting line up. You get the point. He was hir,,Eh, asked, to train them. Train them to do WHAT? That is a GREAT question.

Then he points out that McCain attended a Pro-Immigration Rally in which ACORN was one of the many sponsors. SO? We all already know that McCain was FOR AMNESTY, until WE showed him the error of his ways. We still do not completely trust him on this issue, but let's face it folks, right now, there are FAR more serious things for us to consider than Amnesty. Right now we have a country to save.

Do not get me wrong here folks. The Mass Media IS still in the bag for Obama. The Soro's owned and controlled Media, Websites, and LWL Blogs out there are STILL going to attempt to defend his past any way they can. But between people like Farrakhan, Wright, Ayers, Rezco, ACORN, and his associations with Fannie and Freddie, it is getting HARDER and HARDER to do it without being laughed out of the room.

The will continue to give you LOADED and completely rigged Polls saying he is up by double digits. They will continue to attempt to say ANYTHING in his defense, until there is so much evidence that they can no longer deny it. The will continue to attack Palin. They will continue to call you a Racist. They will continue to do whatever they can to get him into office.

But here is the little secrete that they do NOT want you to know. YOU still have the power. YOU are still the one that will go out and VOTE for the next President. This is why ACORN is registering people to Vote. Like the guy they paid with money and cigarettes to register 72 times, Illegal Aliens, send buses out to move them around county to county on an all day multi voting tour of swing States. ETC. This is why we hear things like the one area that got more votes than they have population. But the bottom line is this. YOU are the one that will decide this election.

Forget the games. Forget the stupidity of the rhetoric on both sides, listen to what Obama is coming right out and telling you he plans to do. Look at the FACTS, and think about this. What kind of country do you want to live in for the next four plus years. What kind of country do you want your kids to live in. Do you want them to live the American Dream? Or do you want to give them the new American Nightmare? Do you want them to know Freedom? Or do you want them to know Socialism? Do you want to give them the USA? The greatest Country to EVER be formed on the face of the planet? Or do you want them to LIVE the USSA? The choice, and the power, belongs to YOU.
