Remember ACORN, the far-left activist community organizing group that filed for bankruptcy a couple of years ago? That followed revelations that some members were advising pimps and prostitutes on tax evasion, not to mention operating houses of prostitution and smuggling underage girls into the country to work in the sex industry. The Democratic-dominated Congress voted in 2009 to ban ACORN from receiving federal funds. After ACORN’s bankruptcy filing, many of its local chapters remained intact by the simple expedient of reorganizing under different names. It’s the same tactic used by fly-by-night rug merchants and disreputable used car dealers to stay one step ahead of the law.
Readers will also recall that ACORN activists have long been involved in voter registration fraud, either directly or through its Project Vote affiliate. At least 70 ACORN/Project Vote employees have been convicted of voter registration fraud in a dozen states since 2006. According to a 2009 House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform report, approximately a third of the 1.2 million new registrations turned in by the two groups in 2008 were fraudulent.
Despite all this, documents obtained recently by Judicial Watch via the Freedom of Information Act suggest that President Obama — who was employed by Project Vote as a community organizer early in his career — and Attorney General Eric Holder have no qualms about working closely with present and former ACORN and Project Vote operatives on voter registration drives aimed at people on public assistance. Take, for example, an April 2009 letter to deputy assistant attorney general Sam Hirsh from former ACORN attorney and current Project Vote director of advocacy Estelle Rogers. She described preparations for a subsequent meeting about Department of Justice plans concerning National Voter Registration Act litigation in states deemed not being sufficiently aggressive in registering public assistance recipients.

OHMO has given ACORN 15 Billion Bucks of stimulas to elected hin again with fraud the same as in 2008, so much for HOPE and CHANGE. just more of our money used for fraud.
All of them are crooks and deserve to be in jail. Birds of a feather…
The DOJ under Holder is planning on obstructing or breaking the law on every single questionable thing that this administration is involved in and stone walling wherever the need arises, he seems to be willing to sacrifice everything to guard this guys back…how many more from the law enforcement agencies will resign in order to remove themselves from the ever growing F&F scandal involving smuggling and treason?
It is time for Accorn, OBOZO _ BRAIN OBUMA, ERIC HOLDER and all the rest of the SCUM LIEFT WING LIBERAK SOCIAILITS leave Washington DC. Give these lame brains enough rope and they wioll hang themselve.
If you use “rope” and “hang” in the same sentence with black people, the government may come after you for advocating violent racism. I’m being facetious, but that’s how these people think.
It seems funny how the media portrays whites as the only race that is “racist”. So I guess that the current black leadership that is part of this administration isn’t racist and their actions that go against law, order and justice are not done so for “racist” means and ends…hmmmmmm…!!!
The race card is always played by the blacks because they have learned that once a person is accused of being a racist that person automatically goes on defense, trying to explain why he is not racist. Liberals do not want to be classified with any label or stereotype, but they are the first to label anyone who disagrees with them. The people who continuously play the race card are the biggest racists in this nation, and we have seen ample evidence any time anyone criticizes one of Obama’s policies, they are labeled a racist. The failure of the policy is never considered, only the fact that he is criticized because of his chosen race.
There are two main lessons from history, whether it is world history, or recent domestic history: 1) We don’t learn from history, and 2) Nothing changes. That is true here as well. Corruption is very much like a cancer. It is manageable if caught early and treated vigorously with the proper agents. If not, it is likey to metastasize to other organs where it is much more difficult to find and treat effectively. Also, one pre-cancerous lesion may modify/mutate and become a more virulent form of cancer. This is what happens with organizations like ACORN. If you don’t treat the primary lesion adequately the first time, you may not be able to control it after it changes. and reestablishes itself. In the case of ACORN and its “metastatic” organizations, it will never be treated adequately by people who intentionally “feed” the cancer and who benefit from its spread. This current Administration is pathological and only the most aggressive treatment will “cure” its horrific effects on the nation. One of the characteristic signs of this malignant process is alleged “racism”.
The person occupying the White House has politicized the DoJ to the point of irreparable harm. Any investigation initiated by the Department will forever have the taint of an ulterior motive behind it. We can thank Obama for this, as well as for the politicization of numerous other government agencies, including his other favorite lapdog, the EPA. When I was in school, civics classes were taught to help citizens understand the processes of the U.s. government and to foster a respect for its institutions. Now, if civics is taught at all, its primary purpose is to inculcate propaganda and give students a healthy dose of fear of their own government. No wonder parents choose to home school their children, and no wonder that the government does everything possible to prevent it.
Excellent comment Patriot13! You are exactly right!
Gee, I’m shocked! You mean Obama is still in cahoots with illegal and clandestine activity? Appreciate the story, but if Obama actually did anything legal, now that would be a story!
as long as I’m being called a racist I might as well take advantage of it
ocommie is nothing but trash and in ghetto lingo that makes him a NIGGER…THERE now you may call me a racist
The only way he can remain DICTATOR is through fraud. W/out the cheating he will be kicked to the curb. His and Moooochelle reign as King & Queen will be over and they will have to start taking their extravagant vacations on their own dime, Which they do not want! They LOVE freeloading off the American taxpayer at the same time telling the American taxpayer that they need to sacrifice. Well hopefully their days of sacrificing will finely come, even better BO in prison would be the ultimate!
Prison for treason?
