A former staffer for an affiliate of ACORN testified today that they were provided a "donor list" from the Barack Obama campaign. Anita Moncrief, a former Washington, D.C. staffer for Project Vote, which she described as a sister organization of ACORN, said her supervisor told her the list of campaign contributors came from the Obama campaign. Moncrief said she has a copy of a "development plan" that outlines how Obama contributors who had "maxed out" under federal contribution limits would be targeted to give to Project Vote, and that it was her job to identify such contributors.

Joseph Giordano of Littlestown was startled and dismayed when he answered his phone on Oct. 16. The caller, from a presidential campaign office, asked for “Sadie Giordano.” “Sadie Giordano” is Joseph’s deceased dog. “It baffles me,” Giordano, who referred to himself as a staunch conservative Republican, said. “According to the representative, Sadie is listed as a registered Democrat. They wanted to make sure she voted for Obama on Nov. 4.” * About a week and a half before receiving the call, Giordano had to euthanize Sadie due to health reasons. He says he has no idea where the campaign office...

President George W. Bush late Friday asked Attorney General Michael Mukasey to investigate whether hundreds of thousands of newly registered voters in the battleground state of Ohio would have to verify the information on their voter registration forms or be given provisional ballots, an issue the U.S. Supreme Court weighed in on last week.

The Detroit News is a Gannett publication so we can't post excerpts -- only this LINK. However, the gist of the story is that according to the Michigan Secretary of state, voter registration is way up despite decreasing population -- to 98 percent of the state's voting age population. The increase comes from strong RAT areas such as college towns and Detroit. The Rat Secretary of State is pleased people are so excited about the election.

Forty-five percent (45%) of voters say the liberal activist group ACORN is trying to register voters illegally, but they’re divided over whether Barack Obama has ties to the group, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Only 25% think ACORN, under investigation in several states for possible voter registration fraud, is not trying to put illegal voters on the rolls. Sixty-nine percent of Republicans and 21% of Democrats believe ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) is trying to register people to vote multiple times in violation of election laws. Forty-one percent of Democrats and eight...

Merely 18 days from the November 4 election and one group that is designed to get inner city and lower income people registered to vote is now being charged with voter registration fraud in 12 states. ACORN International's headquarters is right on Canal Street in New Orleans, and although this chapter hasn't been charged, the Secretary of State is investigating the group along with several others. At the Registrar of Voters Office in Jefferson Parish, they have had to make boxes to store thousands of faulty new voter registration cards. Rejected applications were thrown out because they were from felons,...

A huge black turnout in November 1992 altered Chicago's electoral landscape-and raised a new political star: a 31-year-old lawyer named Barack Obama.In the final, climactic buildup to November's general election, with George Bush gaining ground on Bill Clinton in Illinois and the once-unstoppable campaign of senatorial candidate Carol Moseley Braun embroiled in allegations about her mother's Medicare liability, one of the most important local stories managed to go virtually unreported: The number of new voter registrations before the election hit an all-time high. And the majority of those new voters were black. More than 150,000 new African-American voters were added...

We demand that Congress use due diligence and verify every single voter registration and vote from all of the states where voter fraud is currently being investigated in relationship with ACORN. We demand that Congress hold the director of each ACORN office and/or branch accountable and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. We demand that the election supervisors in the states in question also be held accountable for any fraudulent votes that may ultimately be cast in the 2008 General Election. Should any voter fraud be found as a result of negligence, we demand that the person...

So what if Obama is elected? After four years, Americans will realize they've been sold a bill of goods by the left-wing media, and vote him back out again. Then we can live happily ever after. Right? Wrong. Four years is more than enough time to inflict permanent damage on this country, given the large majorities the moonbat messiah is likely to have in both houses of Congress. The Wall Street Journal warns that if Dems get BHO in the White House and a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, we will enter "a period of unchecked left-wing ascendancy." Among the...

The Obama campaign charged Friday that John McCain, in concert with the Bush administration, has embarked on a studied effort to disrupt Election Day in many states and suppress the vote. In a conference call with reporters Friday, Robert Bauer, chief counsel for the Obama campaign, suggested that a flurry of fraudulent registration complaints recently, and a subsequent leak by FBI officials that the agency was investigating the incidents, were part of a coordinated attempt by McCain and the administration of President Bush to intimidate voters. As evidence of the coordination, Bauer pointed to recent rhetoric from McCain that Acorn,...

WEST CHESTER, Ohio – Vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Friday kept up the Republican ticket's attack on a community activist group that registers voters and cited an Ohio plumber's encounter with Democrat Barack Obama as indicative of his tax policies. Campaigning in one of the swing state's conservative strongholds, Palin said Obama hasn't been forthcoming about his ties to ACORN, the Association of Community Activists for Reform Now. The group faces allegations of voter registration fraud in Ohio and other states. Obama has said he doesn't have any significant links to the group. "You deserve to know," Palin told...

Radford, groups clash over voter registration A student protest has been called off, but the voting rights controversy behind it continues. Tracy Howard, Radford's registrar, is paying special attention to voter registration applications that cite a Radford University dorm room as a potential voter's address, but a student organization and the ACLU of Virginia say that's illegal. Howard says he's following Virginia law the same way he has for 16 years. "If they give me only a dorm address," he said, "they will be sent something called a pending denial. It says that you need to have a street address,...

RALEIGH, N.C. — The North Carolina State Board of Elections is investigating voter registration forms submitted by community organizers whose efforts have led to similar probes in other states. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now works to register low-income people as voters. ACORN claims to have registered 1.3 million people nationwide since 2007, including nearly 28,000 in North Carolina. The group pays its field workers to sign up registered voters, and some forms may have used fake or duplicated information. Durham County's elections office last month gave about 120 suspect forms to the state for investigation. The News...

The action filed in Warren County Court of Common Pleas alleges ACORN has engaged in a pattern of corrupt activity that amounts to organized crime. It seeks ACORN's dissolution as a legal entity, the revocation of any licenses in Ohio, and an injunction against fraudulent voter registration and other illegal activities. Plaintiffs Jennifer Miller of Mason, Ohio and Kimberly Grant of Loveland, allege that ACORN's actions deprive them...

We need to determine if ACORN in "red-lining" areas in which they conduct mass voter-registrations----and whether ACORN is excluding areas, thereby profiling voters which they deem unsuitable for mass canvassing. ACORN IS PROFILING VOTERS; profiling is a crime. One FReeper reported in realtime: he was approached multiple times by ACORN canvassers ......but they lost interest when the FReeper said he was a Republican. That means ACORN gave orders to "profile" voters. ACORN deemed individuals who voted a certain way were not suitable to sign-up and register as new voters. ACORN'S refusal to register a person to vote based on the...

Voter registration fraud, thanks to ACORN, is so endemic in the swing states that it can swing the election in McCain's favor! "Take Back Your State" should be the battle cry of the McCain camopaign. McCain needs to show pictures of thousands of forged registrations provided by ACORN, and then run the video of Obama addressing ACORN and saying how ACORN would be central to his agenda as president. Hit the Obama $824K donation to ACORN also! They should show the map from NY Post online that shows the swing states and how they were systematically targeted by Obama and...
