Wow, a Chief Organizer...when Bammy talked about being a community organizer proudly, he wasn’t jokin’, was he?

Keep the pressure on...support Beck at every opportunity.

[Twotone]

Thanks for posting. I’ve sent emails to both my Senators & my Representative, all Dems, to assist in getting this amendment enacted. Of course, they won’t. But at least they know that we know that they are allied with a criminal organization!

IIEC, Rev Manning used to call ACORN a criminal organization representing negroes...

Bring the Nutcracker Amendment.

[KTM rider]

In 1995, Illinois Gov. Jim Edgar balked at implementing the federal motor voter law out of concern that letting people register via postcard and blocking the state from pruning voter rolls might invite vote fraud. A young lawyer named Barak Obama, a community organizer himself, sued on behalf of ACORN and won. ACORN later invited Obama to train its staff on voter registration drives and the Alinsky method of radical change

In 1996 Obama ran for Illinois State Senate and ACORN became his precinct organization, identifying and turning out the vote.

When Obama served on the board of the Woods Fund for Chicago, the Fund frequently gave ACORN grants to fund its agenda and voter registration activities.

In 2004 ACORN operates as Obama’s precinct organization in his run for the U.S. Senate.

In 2007 ACORN’s national political arm endorsed Obama for president, and its “nonpartisan” voter registration affiliate starts registering hundreds of thousands of voters for Obama.

Obama claims he has no ties to “a group he once did some legal work for.”

In July 2008 the Pittsburgh Tribune Review, along with NoQuarter researchers, exposes the lie by uncovering $832,598.29 that the Obama campaign funneled through a front company called Citizens Services, Inc.

ACORN, which receives partial taxpayer funding, used those funds to conduct solicitations for contributions to and raised over $800,000 for Obama in Philadelphia alone.

That’s because Democrat & Republican work for the same team and play the same ball game. No difference. Just a false left-right paradigm.
