And it is so refreshing to know that these are the people Obama has turned to for help with the upcoming census.
State of the Union: Obama's ties to ACORN
Obama's ties to ACORN
Obama Paid ACORN $800,000 Via Their ?Front Group.? ?For starters, Obama paid ACORN, which has endorsed him for president, $800,000 to register new voters, payments his campaign failed to accurately report. (They were disguised in his FEC disclosure as payments to a front group called Citizen Services Inc. for ?advance work.?)? (Editorial, ?Is ACORN Stealing The Election??

Obama Was ACORN?s Lawyer. ?The next year, 1993, Obama joined the civil-rights law firm Davis Miner Barnhill & Galland, where he sued the state of Illinois on behalf of ACORN to implement the federal ?Motor Voter? law, which the GOP governor at the time refused to do. Then-Gov. Jim Edgar argued, presciently, that the Clinton law would invite voter fraud.? (Editorial, ?Is ACORN Stealing The Election??

Obama and ACORN, Fellow Travelers. ?ACORN attracted Barack Obama in his youthful community organizing days. Madeline Talbott hired him to train her staff -- the very people who would later descend on Chicago?s banks as CRA shakedown artists. The Democratic nominee later funneled money to the group through the Woods Fund, on whose board he sat, and through the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, ditto. Obama was not just sympathetic -- he was an ACORN fellow traveler.? (Mona Charen, ?ACORN, Obama, And The Mortgage Mess,?

Obama Trained ACORN Staff. ?Several community organizers and Altgeld Gardens tenants confirmed Johnson was working on asbestos but said Obama organized residents to act. ?He got people to vote with their feet? on the issue, organizer Madeleine Talbot said. At the time, Talbot worked at the social action group ACORN and initially considered Obama a competitor. But she became so impressed with his work that she invited him to help train her staff.?

ACORN?s Political Action Committee Endorsed Obama. ?ACORN?s Political Action Committee, ACORN Votes, announced Feb. 21 that it had endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for President.? (ACORN, ?ACORN?s Political Action Committee Endorses Obama,?

Obama Praised ACORN For Being A Good Ally. ?When Obama met with ACORN leaders in November, he reminded them of his history with ACORN and his beginnings in Illinois as a Project Vote organizer, a nonprofit focused on voter rights and education. Senator Obama said, ?I come out of a grassroots organizing background. That?s what I did for three and half years before I went to law school. That?s the reason I moved to Chicago was to organize. So this is something that I know personally, the work you do, the importance of it. I?ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.? (

?Obama Worked As Executive Director Of ACORN?s Voter-Registration Arm, Project Vote.? ?What?s more, Obama worked as executive director of ACORN?s voter-registration arm, Project Vote, in 1992. Joined by two other community organizers on Chicago?s South Side, Obama conducted the voter-registration drive that helped elect Carol Moseley-Braun to the Senate that year.?

These people paid no attention to any of the information that was out there during the election, and reason being their chosen media source had no desire to share the information. Even if they knew this information, still some would have voted for him anyway. Don't blame me, I voted for the war hero
showed does not have the prostitute saying she murdered people - the ACORN worker said that she murdered her husband. Sick group, sick country! I am NOT proud to be an American anymore!!!!!!!
How did you come to that conclusion?
