ACORN Workers Face Charges of Alleged Voter Registration Fraud in Florida


and state authorities in Miami are still searching for five of the 11 people suspected of falsifying information on hundreds of voter registration cards -- including registering the name of the late actor Paul Newman -- the Florida Department of Law Enforcement told FOXNews.com Thursday.

Six people were taken into custody Wednesday as arrest warrants were issued for 11 workers hired by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now -- or ACORN -- on charges of voter registration fraud.

I am still dumbfounded by the video. i mean i just cant comprehend such evil.. and i defend criminals all day!

Don't expect the media to do any heavy lifting on ACORN. The voter fraud story has already been portrayed as "an isolated incident" where "individuals" were trying to cheat ACORN to get more money rather than following the marching orders of the organization. The media has absolved ACORN of any wrongdoing and moved on.

[NightTrain]

She didn't even bat an eye about importing underage girls to work as hookers. Truly sickening.

[theHawk]

Makes you want to have an ACORN community development center built in your neighborhood! This must be what the new Obamanation will look like when he is done.

OCTOBER 14, 2008
Obama and Acorn
Community organizers, phony voters, and your tax dollars.
At the recent Emmy Awards, historian Laura Linney averred that America's Founders had been "community organizers" -- like Barack Obama. Too bad they aren't like that any more. Mr. Obama's kind of organizers work at Acorn, the militant advocacy group that is turning up in reports about voter fraud across the country.

Acorn -- the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now -- has been around since 1970 and boasts 350,000 members. We've written about them for years, but Acorn is now getting more attention as John McCain's campaign makes an issue of the fraud reports and Acorn's ties to Mr. Obama. It's about time someone exposed this shady outfit that uses government dollars to lobby for larger government.

Acorn uses various affiliated groups to agitate for "a living wage," for "affordable housing," for "tax justice" and union and environmental goals, as well as against school choice and welfare reform. It was a major contributor to the subprime meltdown by pushing lenders to make home loans on easy terms, conducting "strikes" against banks so they'd lower credit standards.

But the organization's real genius is getting American taxpayers to foot the bill. According to a 2006 report from the Employment Policies Institute (EPI), Acorn has been on the federal take since 1977. For instance, Acorn's American Institute for Social Justice claimed $240,000 in tax money between fiscal years 2002 and 2003. Its American Environmental Justice Project received 100% of its revenue from government grants in the same years. EPI estimates the Acorn Housing Corporation alone received some $16 million in federal dollars from 1997-2007. Only recently, Democrats tried and failed to stuff an "affordable housing" provision into the $700 billion bank rescue package that would have let politicians give even more to Acorn.

All this money gives Acorn the ability to pursue its other great hobby: electing liberals. Acorn is spending $16 million this year to register new Democrats and is already boasting it has put 1.3 million new voters on the rolls. The big question is how many of these registrations are real.

The Michigan Secretary of State told the press in September that Acorn had submitted "a sizeable number of duplicate and fraudulent applications." Earlier this month, Nevada's Democratic Secretary of State Ross Miller requested a raid on Acorn's offices, following complaints of false names and fictional addresses (including the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys). Nevada's Clark County Registrar of Voters Larry Lomax said he saw rampant fraud in 2,000 to 3,000 applications Acorn submitted weekly.

Officials in Ohio are investigating voter fraud connected with Acorn, and Florida's Seminole County is withholding Acorn registrations that appear fraudulent. New Mexico, North Carolina and Missouri are looking into hundreds of dubious Acorn registrations. Wisconsin is investigating Acorn employees for, according to an election official, "making people up or registering people that were still in prison."

Then there's Lake County, Indiana, which has already found more than 2,100 bogus applications among the 5,000 Acorn dumped right before the deadline. "All the signatures looked exactly the same," said Ruthann Hoagland, of the county election board. Bridgeport, Connecticut estimates about 20% of Acorn's registrations were faulty. As of July, the city of Houston had rejected or put on hold about 40% of the 27,000 registration cards submitted by Acorn.

That's just this year. ...

Which brings us to Mr. Obama, who got his start as a Chicago "community organizer" at Acorn's side. In 1992 he led voter registration efforts as the director of Project Vote, which included Acorn. This past November, he lauded Acorn's leaders for being "smack dab in the middle" of that effort. Mr. Obama also served as a lawyer for Acorn in 1995, in a case against Illinois to increase access to the polls.

During his tenure on the board of Chicago's Woods Fund, that body funneled more than $200,000 to Acorn. More recently, the Obama campaign paid $832,000 to an Acorn affiliate. The campaign initially told the Federal Election Commission this money was for "staging, sound, lighting." It later admitted the cash was to get out the vote.



The Obama campaign is now distancing itself from Acorn, claiming Mr. Obama never organized with it and has nothing to do with illegal voter registration. Yet it's disingenuous to channel cash into an operation with a history of fraud and then claim you're shocked to discover reports of fraud. As with Rev. Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers, Mr. Obama was happy to associate with Acorn when it suited his purposes. But now that he's on the brink of the Presidency, he wants to disavow his ties.

Bully, you are sounding a little hysterical these days..
I suppose it doesn't bother you that this group is receiving large sums of taxpayers monies and is being used for the stuff like in the videos..
how about you contact your reps. and ask them to investigate Acorn and also ask that any taxpayer money be cut off..

[CSM]

Very soon the posters like Bully will become more than dismissive, they will become apologists for their fellow fruitcakes.

Posters like Bully were nitpicking the Bush administration to death and now, somehow, their standards and principles have changed. I am guessing because "standards and principles" (never mind integrity!) are really foreign concepts to them.

of course not ... nor will you ever see such a thing. After all, the highest office in the land should foster some respect (except for when held by anyone that is not a dem).

[crin63]

This doesn't surprise me at all.
I wouldn't expect anyone who thinks its okay to kill babies in or out of the womb to have a problem with young girls being sex-slaves, they have already shown themselves to be morally bankrupt. Especially if there is some money to be had and Liberals to be elected or responsibilities to escape from. As far as I see it, its just the lay of the land for Liberals.

[theHawk]

So, ACORN came out and said this guy tried it many times before and failed.

Guess what, another video came out showing the same thing happened in their DC branch (Obama's neighborhood!)


One day after two ACORN officials in Baltimore were fired for offering to help a man and woman posing as a pimp and prostitute to engage in child prostitution and a series of tax crimes, another secretly shot videotape has surfaced that shows the same couple getting similar advice from ACORN officers in Washington.

The newly released videotape, shot on July 25, shows ACORN staffers explaining to the pair how they can hide the woman's professed work — prostitution — and get a loan that will help them establish a brothel.

James O'Keefe, a 25-year-old independent filmmaker, posed as the pimp while visiting the ACORN office, accompanied by 20-year-old Hannah Giles, who posed as the prostitute. On a videotape provided to FOXNews.com, they are seen receiving guidance to establish the woman as the sole proprietor of a bogus company to mask the nature of her business.

"She's not going to put on (the loan application) that she's doing prostitution ... she doesn't have to," the ACORN staffer says. "You don't have to sit back and tell people what you do."

It is kind of a funny name. Think it could catch on with Obama? :laugh2:

At least we have a little good news...ACORN has been cut loose from the
census taking...or so they say!

Unbelievable: Maryland may prosecute O’Keefe for shooting ACORN videoposted at 8:23 pm on September 11, 2009 by Allahpundit

No word on whether they’ll be prosecuting any ACORN people for conspiring to cover up sex slavery. They’ve got bigger fish to fry, I guess. Like … the people who exposed the people who conspired to cover up sex slavery.
This is what you get for doing the media’s job for them

STATEMENT OF STATE’S ATTORNEYS OFFICE FOR BALTIMORE CITY RELATIVE TO THE ALLEGED BALTIMORE ACORN INCIDENT
Baltimore, MD – September 11, 2009 – We have received inquiries from citizens and the media asking whether the Baltimore City State’s Attorneys Office would initiate a criminal investigation for acts allegedly committed at ACORN offices located in Baltimore. The only information received in reference to this alleged criminal behavior was a YouTube video. Upon review by this office, the video appears to be incomplete. In addition, the audio portion could possibly have been obtained in violation of Maryland Law, Annotated Code of Maryland Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article §10-402, which requires two party consent.
If it is determined that the audio portion now being heard on YouTube was illegally obtained, it is also illegal under Maryland Law to willfully use or willfully disclose the content of said audio. The penalty for the unlawful interception, disclosure or use of it is a felony punishable up to 5 years.

Maryland's law is fucked up, but it's not the prosecutor's fault.

[Joyful HoneyBee]

Well, as citizens of this fair land, I think we all have a responsibility to call on President Obama to assign Eric Himpton Holder, Jr. to launch a federal investigation of ACORN. Isn't that his job? I mean, if ACORN people have clearly shown that they willing to aide and abet those who would become involved in human trafficking by bringing in illegal immigrants for the purpose of prostitution (regardless of the fact it was a media sting), doesn't that amount to a federal matter that should be addressed on a federal court level. Isn't encouraging people to falsify tax documents and bank documents a federal offense? It has been shown to have occurred in two separate offices in Maryland and D.C., involving several representatives of ACORN. If Obama truly is concerned with justice he WILL assign this task to Holder. If Holder is unwilling to launch an appropriate investigation into this organization, then he is subject to impeachment by the House of Representative. These are the kinds of demands that the public needs to be making or this ridiculous nonsense will continue to go unchecked. I can't think of many things that are more appropriate, nor more ironic than this scenario.

yep, we need to call our Reps and demand they open an investigation on Acorn and freeze all taxpayers monies allotted to go them in the little Marxist Spendulus bill..
