I have identified two documents that may shed more light on Obama's ties with ACORN in the 1990's. They are in the Special Collections at the two libraries.
------------------------------------------- The 1990 ACORN convention in Chicago focused on the fast-breaking housing campaign. It featured a squatting demonstration at an RTC house which was reclaimed for use in an ACORN neighborhood. (ACORN Website)
(Perhaps, Obama participated in the demonstration and there is a video or pictures?

Nice of you to put this info out on a public forum where everyone in the world can see it.
My guess is that that information was scrubbed, “lost”, or locked up months ago.
Say goodbye to those U of I library items.
Get Corsi on that! I’m sure he’ll type some up for ya!!
