One For You, Two For Me..

Workers registering voters for a liberal group in Milwaukee turned in hundreds of fabricated registration forms and many more that were incomplete.

 That’s raised fears among Republican Party leaders of an election fraud repeat.

 The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, has fired about a dozen canvassers and alerted the state election commission to most of the problem forms.

 Commission director Sue Edman said they’ll make sure no fabricated or incomplete forms are entered into the voter database.

 Six of the former ACORN workers have been referred to the Milwaukee County district attorney’s office for possible charges. —-Wisctv.com

Hmmmm very interesting….

ACORN Votes endorsed Illinois Sen. Barack Obama for the Democratic Party’s nomination for president. ACORN Votes is the national political action committee convened by ACORN leadership.

The endorsement followed an extensive process of interviewing each of the major Democratic candidates.

“We have worked with all the leading candidates in the past,” said Maude Hurd, ACORN National President. “ACORN’s members have deep appreciation and respect for Senators Clinton and Edwards and their work on behalf of our communities. What it came down to was that Senator Obama is the candidate who best understands and can effect change on the issues ACORN cares about like stopping foreclosures, enacting fair and comprehensive immigration reform, and building stronger and safer communities across America.”

When Sen. Obama met with ACORN Votes leaders in November, he spoke of his history with ACORN and his beginnings in Illinois as an organizer with Project Vote, a nonprofit organization focused on voter rights and education.

“I come out of a grassroots organizing background,” Obama told members. “That’s what I did for three and half years before I went to law school. The reason I moved to Chicago was to organize. So this is something that I know personally, the work you do and the importance of it.”

Obama continued to work with ACORN after he was elected to state office in Illinois and then to the U.S. Senate.

Alicia Russell of Arizona, ACORN’s western regional representative, said Obama relates to the issues facing low- and moderate-income people. “I think he will commit himself to providing us the necessary path for low-income and moderate-income families to improve their lives,” Russell said. “He’s on the same level as we are, and sees our issues as we do.” —ACORN.ORG
