The national community organizing group ACORN today filed a federal lawsuit against the state attorney general and Allegheny County district attorney, claiming that a Pennsylvania statute that prohibits paying workers to collect a certain number of new voter registrations is unconstitutional.
Filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, the lawsuit claims that the state statute has been used by District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr. to charge five former employees of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
Those people have been charged with filling out fraudulent voter registration applications and face a number of criminal counts, including forgery.
The statute being challenged by the lawsuit says that no person may make or accept payment if it is "based upon the number of registrations or applications obtained."

“unholy” is putting it mildly. It is like calling a thermonuclear device a matchstick.
OBUMMA the only 10 term president (King). Acorn my A$$
Sounds like ACORN can’t handle competition.
“It’s not my fault that I made up voter registrations, I got paid by the name...”
They won’t have to bear the inconvenience of making up names after they get their hands on the Census.
Probably gonna be somewhere around 200-250 million votes cast in the 2012 Election.
Make them spend their money.
REMEDY Taxpayers demand an injunction that requires states immediately cease accepting so-called voter registrations submitted by ACORN, and that all current voter rolls be cross-referenced against ACORN’S lists of ‘registrations’ already submitted to nullify any and all voter frauds committed.

HERE’S HOW TO TAKE BACK THE CENUS FROM THE WH AND OBAMA’s ACORN THUGS
EMAIL thomas.l.mesenbourg.jr@census.gov
US Census Bureau acting director
ACORN to Play Huge Role in 2010 Census. The potential for wrongdoing is breathtaking. ID theft is a distinct possibility ....... with the nefarious ACORN getting ahold of your strategic info. The U.S. Census is supposed to be free of politics, but ACORN, a group with a history of voter fraud, is controlling next year’s count, raising concerns about the politicization of the decennial survey. With the support of the White house (and billions of tax dollars) ACORN-—The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now is a national partner with the US Census Bureau in February 2009 to assist with the recruitment of the 1.4 million temporary workers needed to go door-to-door to count every person in the United States — currently believed to be more than 306 million people.
Most frightening is the WH colluding with ACORN to control the census——getting its hands on strategic info to be used for political purposes. Under the argu of the calculated Rahm Emanuel, census replies might be manipulated to build a permanent Dem majority. ACORN census takers will cook the books and enshrine illegal hyphanates as the “new majority” (a political goal of the Obamatons).

‘Go after ACORN,’ judge says
Pittsburgh TRIBUNE-REVIEW | Tuesday, June 30, 2009 | Walter F. Roche Jr.
FR Posted by Salena Zito
A district judge who held another ACORN worker for trial Monday on election law violations urged prosecutors to go after the real culprit, the organization that employed him. “Somebody has to go after ACORN,” Senior District Judge Richard H. Zoller said about the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. “It’s happening all over the country. All you have to do is turn on the television,” he said, referring to voter registration fraud charges brought recently against ACORN and its workers in Nevada.
“We will,” Allegheny County Detective Robert F. Keenan promised as he wrapped up his testimony. A spokesman for DA Stephen A. Zappala Jr. said following the hearing that the county’s investigation into members of ACORN and their activities during the 2008 campaign “remains open and active.” (Excerpt) Read more at pittsburghlive.com ...
