TIME to cut off government grants and taxpayer subsidies to ACORN once and for all!
Guess which left-wing group is at the center of the worst case of voter-registration fraud in Washington state history? Yep, you guessed it: ACORN. The same ACORN tied to massive voter fraud in Missouri. Operating in at least 38 states (as well as Canada and Mexico), Acorn pushes a highly partisan agenda, and its organizers are best understood as shock troops for the AFL-CIO and even the Democratic Party. As part of the Fannie Mae reform bill, House Democrats pushed an “affordable housing trust fund” designed to use Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac profits to subsidize Acorn, among other groups.
Acorn and its affiliates have pulled some real stunts in recent years. In Ohio in 2004, a worker for one affiliate was given crack cocaine in exchange for fraudulent registrations that included underage voters, dead voters and pillars of the community named Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy and Jive Turkey. During a Congressional hearing in Ohio in the aftermath of the 2004 election, officials from several counties in the state explained Acorn’s practice of dumping thousands of registration forms in their lap on the submission deadline, even though the forms had been collected monthsearlier.Given this history, it’s not surprising that Acorn is so hostile to voter identification laws and other efforts to ensure fairness and accuracy at the polls. In Missouri last month, the state Supreme Court held that a photo ID requirement to vote was overly burdensome and a violation of the state constitution. Acorn was behind the original suit challenging the statute, and it has brought similar challenges in several other states, including Ohio.Ohio and 12 other states.

“You have to wonder what’s the point of that, if not to overwhelm the system and get phony registrations on the voter rolls,” says Thor Hearne of the American Center for Voting Rights, who also testified at the hearing. “These were Democratic officials saying that they felt their election system in Ohio was under assault by these kinds of efforts to game the system.”
WHO ACTED AS AN ATTORNEY FOR ACORN AT THE BEGINNING OF HIS CAREER AND
HAS SUPPORTED THEM ILLEGALLY THRU HIS CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS? OBAMA!!
Take the time see this even clearer explaination!

In 1977, President Jimmy Carter signed the Community Reinvestment Act into law. This law requires financial institutions to offer credit, including home ownership opportunities, to under-served populations. Translated, the Community Reinvestment Act forced financial institutions to offer credit – mortgages – to unqualified borrowers. To add teeth to this law, provisions were included to punish financial institutions that did not embrace the horrific business practice of lending money to those unable to pay it back. Bill Clinton and Congressional Democrats perpetuated the CRA. Republicans (President Bush in 2003 and Senator McCain in 2005) warned of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae accounting problems. Democrats, Harry Reid, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and Chuck Schumer included, denied any irregularities and blocked investigation and regulation. Chris Dodd and Barack Obama, among others, received huge bribes from Fannie and Freddie. Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson, now Obama advisers, and Jamie Gorelick “cooked the books” of Fannie and Freddie and embezzled millions of dollars. Mortgage lending institutions collapsed. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac may have acted as the mechanism for the initiation of today’s financial crisis, but ACORN and Barack Obama are the catalyst that created the financial catastrophe for our country and, very likely, the world. To deny this elementary fact is to employ the math that got us into this mess.
