Default Obama Campaigns ACORN.

Obama campaign has given over $800,000 dollars to ACORN. ACORN as many of you know is now under various levels of criminal investigation for voter fraud registrations fraud, embezzlment, etc.

SO what does the Obama campaign do?

Quote:
U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign paid more than $800,000 to an offshoot of the liberal Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now for services the Democrat's campaign says it mistakenly misrepresented in federal reports.

An Obama spokesman said Federal Election Commission reports would be amended to show Citizens Services Inc. -- a subsidiary of ACORN -- worked in "get-out-the-vote" projects, instead of activities such as polling, advance work and staging major events as stated in FEC finance reports filed during the primary.
....

Quote:
The Ohio primary was March 4. According to FEC records, the Obama campaign paid Citizens Services Inc. $832,598.29, from Feb. 25 to May 17.

A Trib analysis of campaign finance reports showed Obama paid CSI for services that stood out as unusual. For example, CSI received payments of $63,000 and $75,000 for advance work. Excluding the large payments to CSI, the average amount the Obama campaign spent with other organizations was $558.82 per check on more than 1,200 entries classified as advance work.

Citizens Services Inc. is headquartered at the same address as ACORN's national headquarters in New Orleans. Citizens Services was established in December 2004 to "assist persons and organizations who advance the interests of low- and moderate-income people," according to paperwork filed in Louisiana. In a 2006 ACORN publication, Citizen Services Inc. is described as "ACORN's campaign services entity."

Isn't ACORN the liberal organization that the Dem Majority just tried to GIVE $20 BILLION of taxpayer dollars to??????

"Regardless, House Republicans are saying that unless the possibility of ACORN seeing any money from this bailout is eliminated, there's no deal. "Doling out favors to ACORN and other liberal special interest groups are a non-starter for House Republicans," said Behner spokesman Kevin Smith. "If Rep. Frank wants to keep ACORN in the bill he can secure the necessary Democratic votes for passage because he'll need every one of them."

That's the ACORN.

The ACORN Obama's law firm backed to sue for more sub prime mortgages.

Obama needs to go down. He needs to lose the nomination. The media needs to do their job and call him out.

"There appears to be a sizeable number of duplicate and fraudulent applications," said Kelly Chesney, spokeswoman for the Michigan Secretary of State's Office. "And it appears to be widespread."

Chesney said her office has had discussions with ACORN officials after local clerks reported the questionable applications to the state. Chesney said some of the applications are duplicates and some appear to be names that have been made up. The Secretary of State's Office has turned over several of the applications to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

The U.S. Attorney's Office on Friday declined to confirm whether an investigation was taking place.

In recent years, ACORN's voter registration programs have come under investigation in Ohio, Colorado, Missouri and Washington, with some employees convicted of voter fraud.

ACORN officials said they were looking into the problem.

Now there is a case of the fox guarding the hen house.

TALLAHASSEE (Bay News 9) -- A national advocacy group is facing accusations of election fraud, and as Florida is one of several states that could go either way on Nov. 4, elections officials are concerned.

Over the past four years, ACORN has registered more than 380,000 new voters in Florida, but critics are accusing the organization of election fraud, saying they believe many of those new voters have no idea they've been registered.

Albuquerque lawyer Pat Rogers pushed for voter-fraud investigations then and also attempted to intervene in the recent legal challenge on behalf of the Republican Party of New Mexico. Rogers has been particularly critical of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), which has been center stage in voter-registration problems across the country. In 2006, four ACORN employees were indicted for sending false voter-registration forms to Kansas City, Mo.’s election board. Last year, the King County, Wash. canvassing board revoked nearly 2,000 fraudulent voter registrations submitted by seven ACORN employees, who were later charged in the largest case of voter-registration fraud in the state’s history. Unlike other groups, ACORN pays people to register voters.
