ACORN Advances in New York: Tied to Absentee Ballot Fraud
by Roger Stone

Last week was both good and bad for the leftist “activism for profit and power” leadership of ACORN. Their tentacles will finally reach New York City Hall – and the Pension funds of New York City ,when the Democratic nominees for Public Advocate and City Comptroller, both of whom owe their nomination to the ACORN front- the New York Working Families Party, are elected this November. At the same time a scandal started to unravel in a upstate New York county where, for the first time, ACORN is under the scrutiny of a District Attorney who is not a Democrat cross-endorsed by the WFP.

Make no mistake about it , the so called Working Families Party, a party with no county chairmen or county committees, and no unpaid workers, is merely a front for ACORN. They share the same office and addresses. ACORN Executive Director Bertha Lewis is the Co-Chair and de-facto boss of the well heeled little “party”. Labor pours in millions to leverage the Democratic Party to the Left….on their issues. With New York deeply in the hole and with state revenue dropping sharply, there is no discussion of cutting the state’s bloated labor costs.

The WFP, controlled by ACORN, has no shortage of cash, indeed the party’s founder embezzeled $1 Million dollars but the ACORN elected not to prosecute him for fear of a court laying bare their financial books and records.

The ACORN workers weren’t filmed of wrongdoing in NY. They were caught in San Diego, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and DC.

How did this end up in NY? Does ACORN get to choose the venue or is that where there National HQ is at?

What's all the fuss about helping set up a prostitution ring with underage illegal immigrants and offering advice on how to avoid the police while hiding the profits?

ACORN was simply trying to help a needy pimp set up shop.

Nothing illegal there. /s

Hynes ran on the Working Family Party Line in 2009

Hynes also ran on the Democratic, Republican and Conservative lines in 2009-- he was unopposed.
