ACORN Release Video Attacking GOP Vote Suppression
Brave New Films and ACORN Release Video Attacking Vote Suppression
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- ACORN (the Association
of Community Organizations for Reform Now) released a video today, produced
by Brave New Films. This video calls attention to both the concocted
Republican issues of voter fraud and the Republican coordinated attempts at
voter suppression.
This video, which will be widely distributed via the web, is part of an
ongoing campaign by ACORN to set the record straight. The United States has
the lowest rate of voter participation of any western nation. Over the last
18 months, ACORN has waged a voter registration campaign, which
successfully helped enfranchise 1.3 million new voters. Recently the
McCain-Palin campaign, the Republican party and some sensationalist members
of the media, have been on a weeks-long campaign to discredit ACORN over
bogus allegations of "voter fraud." This video examines both the skewed
media attention and the real story of ACORN's voter registration program.
It also aggressively calls attention to the ongoing campaign of
suppression, which affects far more voters than anything recently covered
by the mainstream media.
ACORN (http://www.acorn.org ) is holding screening house parties in 17
cities around the country, including: Washington, DC, Boston, Springfield,
MA, Los Angeles, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Hartford,
Orlando, Houston, Dallas, Bridgeport, Detroit, Flint, Twin Cities and
Charlotte.
I have seen ACORN firsthand, boys: I know they're fraudulent. Wisconsin was one of the first states in the nation to be targeted by their voter fraud/smokes for votes techniques.
Nice propaganda video. Considering they get an ass load of money, they should hire a better production company next time. Maybe they'll have some nice mixing/editting rooms in prison.

AH yes. Welcome to the liberal movement. Where truth is merely a defense of your own. You guys do realize that ACORN offices are being raided all over the country, right?
And that, mysteriously, the Boston ACORN got "broken into", and laptops taken?

Do you realize that you have claimed first hand experience and knowledge of everything so far on every subject being discussed in these threads. What is your hat size dude? Or is it your Cuban blood.

Stefan, you like to ask people here a lot of questions, I have one for you that requires only a yes or no answer.
Q. Do you think the Wall Street bail out is a socialist move?
You made the original claim that ACORN in WI was dirty, back it up.

Many point to Wisconsin, where Journal Sentinel reports on problems with the 2004 presidential election, including improper votes by felons and thousands more ballots cast than voters listed as having voted, prompted an extensive review by federal and local authorities.
Numerous cases of fraud were found, with officials saying sloppy records prevented more charges.
In Wisconsin, Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen has filed a lawsuit to try to force the state Government Accountability Board to complete a cross-check of all registrants since January 2006, as called for under federal law. The board says it has started checking new registrations since Aug. 6, but that there’s not enough time to check those before that date.
In a court filing this week, the state GOP said those checks should begin in Milwaukee, because of the allegations involving ACORN and the Community Voters Project.
ACORN officials say they review all the cards submitted by their workers and flag problematic ones for authorities. That happened with some of the cards submitted in Milwaukee.
Four years ago, after some workers in Wisconsin were charged with submitting fake names, state law was changed to forbid paying workers by the signatures collected.
The charges filed in the Milwaukee cases recently indicate the workers faced a quota-type system.
“For most of the individuals who have been hired to do this work, their primary focus is preserving their jobs,” said Neil Albrecht, deputy director of the city election office. “This was an employment opportunity for them in tough economic times.”
He said the state should review the question of quota-type demands on paid workers.
Albrecht said, “If you have to come up with 25 voter registration applications by the end of the day, you’re going to come up with the 25 voter registrations.”

yes (of course, as in life, this answer should be more complex)

No, that's all I reqiered to prove once and for all how simplistic and partisan your brain really is.
So let me see if I get you right. Obama stays out of the way......McCain stops his campaign and rushes to Washington to be the leader he claims to be and ensure the passage of the bill.....but Obama is the socialist
well doh... acorn is required by law to turn in every form they fill...so nothing they can do other than to sort it from a "okey" to "suspicious", but they still have to turn it in, so YES you get some idiots out there that make a joke out of the forms and will just write Mikey Mouse for name or Darth Vader, but like in your case and the others in questions this forms were still in acorns pool of "suspicious".
In anycase, Times had another good way of putting things together anyways.

The answer is for government to a better job of registering people to vote. That way there would be less need to rely on private registration drives, largely being conducted by well-meaning private organizations that use low-paid workers. Federal and state governments should do their own large-scale registration drives staffed by experienced election officials. Even better, Congress and the states should adopt election-day registration, which would make such drives unnecessary.
The real threats to the fabric of democracy are the unreasonable barriers that stand in the way of eligible voters casting ballots.
You cant expect to call the US a democracy if only want to indirectly selectivly choose who votes.
