ACORN has been caught red handed registering dead people many, many times so why are they still allowed to do this? Why is anyone allowed to do this? Why the need for corrupt organizations to "register voters"?
If it were done properly, as it should be, every voter would register to vote on their own. Voting is a privilege. If you won't get off yer fat keyster to register, you don't deserve the honor of voting of a free republic. Remember those women in Afghanistan crossing over mountains and valleys just to 
vote? And Iraq? Think about it.
Organizations such as ACORN seem to exist to hijack the system. As early as Novemer 2006, I ran it post, "I SEE DEAD PEOPLE... voting on election day" - appararently a federal grand jury in Kansas City indicted four persons working for the group Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), accusing them of submitting more than 40,000 voter registration forms with fictitious names, phony signatures and bogus addresses.
Is this the kind of "change" Obambi" is shilling for? Tell me what he brings that is not evil and marxist?
Like I said, why is this group still allowed to register voters?
Democrats for MCain sent me this post with this terse warning, "Republicans should watch their backs. Obama will pull the same voter fraud crap on you guys".
Read the following comment on another PUMA blog and bear in mind that BTW, Obama has paid SEIU over a quarter of a million dollars in "canvasing expenses" and they have dumped big bucks in support of Obama but through independent campaigning for Obama--as in over $125,000 [corrected] in the last FEC filing.
The Obama campaign is not worried by the polls. I wouldn’t either if I were them.
Dead and nonexistent people can’t be polled, but they do vote.Soros in Control of National Voter Mobilization Efforts August 26, 2008 –George Soros is the prime mover behind America Votes, an umbrella organization of 48 entities involved in various voter-registration and mobilization drives in 14 states. America Votes received $2.15 million from George Soros and $854,000 from co-conspirator Peter Lewis (total over $3 million) in 2006, and $1.25 million (from Soros), along with $1.25 million from the SEIU and $1 million from (Democracy Alliance) Fund for America, in 2007. The Center for Responsive Politics says that, in 2006, they were the second best-financed election committee behind SEIU. In total, America Votes spent over $7 million in 2007, and has already spent $10 million this year. Reading their website, however, it is very unclear as to exactly what they do with all that money.
The board of America Votes (not to be confused with ACORN’s “Project Vote”) is loaded with Soros-connected operatives, including: SEIU director Anna Burger; Paul Booth operative Larry Scanlon; Howard Dean/MoveOn operative Arshad Hason; Center for Community Change director and Open Society advisor Deepak Bhargava; ACORN President Maude Hurd; and former senior advisor to Nancy Pelosi, Shamina Singh. Martin Frost, a former long-term Democratic Congressman from Dallas, is the titular President of the operation.
This money-stuffed Soros-ruled apparatus is perched in an advisory and intelligence-gathering role with various Democrat-affliliated entities. With ACORN’s “Project Vote,” it is to take the place of the moribund regular Democratic Party apparatus.
In May, much was made of Barack Obama’s public call to stop funding “outside organizations,” which he made following a meeting with his finance committee in Indianapolis. The coverage played this as a loss for David Brock’s Progressive Media USA and John Podesta’s Fund for America. Reading the fine print, however, this call indicated a Soros-led shift away from the public media, and toward more covert “voter registration” effort, all the time under his control. “We’re continuing with our fundraising and things have been going well for us,” Frost told an interviewer at that time.
Cuyahoga board probes ACORN voter registration drive Count Us Out blog
A national organization that conducts voter registration drives for low-income people has curtailed its push in Cuyahoga County after the Board of Elections accused its workers of submitting fraudulent registration cards.
The board is investigating the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. Results of the inquiry could be turned over to the county prosecutor.
Board employees said ACORN workers often handed in the same name on a number of voter registration cards, but showing that person living at different addresses. Other times, cards had the same name listed, but a different date of birth. Still another sign of possible fraud showed a number of people living at an address that turned out to be a restaurant.
“I’m obviously very concerned,” Board Chairman Jeff Hastings said. “This goes to the essence of our democracy.”
ACORN had a part-time staff of 30 who worked five days a week to find unregistered people. The workers made $8 an hour and were required to sign up 20 voters in each five-hour shift.
The elections board’s registration department said in a report that ACORN’s quota contributed to the possible fraud.
ACORN stopped the registration efforts of the part-timers on Aug. 15. Three salaried employees continue the drive to sign up voters.
Kristopher Harsh, head organizer for the agency’s Cleveland office, said it is unlikely a full-fledged movement will resume before the Nov. 4 election.
ACORN has submitted about 75,000 voter registration cards to the Cuyahoga board this year.
Board employees are unsure how many of the cards are fraudulent. But the voter registration department received so many suspicious cards that it began compiling a binder with evidence. The binder grew to be an inch-thick.
OT but related: Some Clinton Donors Are Contributing to McCain Dozens of Prominent Fundraisers Have Donated over $200,000 in Last Few Months ABC news
<p><p><p><p><p><p>ABC News: Some Clinton Donors Are Contributing to McCain</p></p></p></p></p></p> Some of Hillary Clinton's most fervent supporters are taking their enthusiasm and their campaign contributions -- to John McCain.
More than 85 of Clinton's fundraisers, including Donald Trump, Univision chief executive Joseph Uva, cable mogul Charles Dolan, philanthropist Norma Hess and one of Florida's biggest lobbyists appear to be skipping Barack Obama when it comes to writing checks for the general election, according to an ABCNews.com review of campaign finance records.
These Clinton donors have contributed at least $200,000 to McCain's campaign in the last few months, an amount which doesn't include larger contributions to the Republican joint fundraising committees.
