ACORN accused of voter registration fraud

Is this really who you want to be the next president of the United States? Obama has been linked to racists like Rev. Wright, domestic terrorists like Bill Ayers and now to a group called acord trying to fix the vote in Obama's favor instead of letting the American people vote for our own president.

RNC: CNN Exposes How ACORN Steals Votes & Ties to Obama



LAKE COUNTY, Ind. (WISH) - An investigation into voter registration fraud is under way in Lake County.

Thousands of applications are in serious doubt. The activist group ACORN turned in 5,000 new registrations. But the Lake County Election Board said they've already discounted at least 2100 of them.

Many had the exact same handwriting and signatures on them. One listed a person by the name of Jimmy Johns. But that turned out to be a restaurant.

An attorney for ACORN said the group believes the allegations are an effort to discourage ACORN from doing their work, and to suppress votes.

Really? Suppress votes? Look at the ties here. . .



Cleveland Paper: Obama's Lying About ACORN



The Cleveland Leader reports this morning that Barack Obama is lying about his involvement with the group ACORN, which recently added Missouri to the list of states in which its activities are under investigation. While Obama's site maintains that he never trained ACORN activists -- whose training apparently encourages them to play fast and loose with election laws -- Chicago ACORN leader Toni Foulkes has thanked Obama for doing precisely that:


Since then, we have 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."


The Los Angeles Times has reported the same. Given all the improprieties with which ACORN has been associated in the past, as well as the accusations against it this year, it's easy to see why Obama hopes the media will ignore this issue.
