Hi Ohioans!!

I just recieved this from a friend, can you help me get this out to all our Ohio friends. I am planning on attending! I have been sending this out to as many friends as possible (including you!) There is a rally on Monday when Obama is here. I could use help to spread the word! Thanks.

Center attorney Maurice Thompson said restricting ACORN's ability to support or enable other groups to "do what they do" was crucial to the deal, especially in a state he characterized as "ground zero" to their voter advocacy efforts.

"It carries a great deal of significance because, in the absence of that term, ACORN could simply have shut down but reopened the next day as WALNUT or CHESTNUT or whatever and done the exact same thing," Thompson said. "So our goal was to affect permanent change."

In other states, including New York and California, ACORN chapters have disbanded and resumed operations under new names.

Thanks for spreading the word! Do you think we should post for everyone? I just found out about it, but it would sure be nice to get thousands of people there!

A quick look at AmeriCorp activities seem to indicate social justice stuff. Sounds wonderful. Volunteer to make a difference and change the world from within. /sarc

If they link the student loans to this and require service in AmeriCorps, it would also be a perfect opportunity for indoctrination of college age students.
