ACORN Director Pleads Guilty A high-ranking official at the taxpayer-funded leftist group that conducts fraudulent voter registration drives has pleaded guilty to conspiracy for organizing a scheme that illegally paid workers to register new voters.
As a Nevada field director for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), Christopher Edwards paid canvassers-many of them "lazy crack heads" (http://www.ktnv.com/Global/Link.asp?L=346213)-to register new voters for the 2008 presidential election. He also set illegal quotas of at least 20 voters a day for canvassers to keep their job and offered an additional $5 for registering 21 or more.



ACORN's shady quota system is illegal in Nevada as well as most states and the Chicago-based community group with strong ties to President Obama faces criminal charges across the nation. As part of Edwards' guilty plea (http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/aug/18/deal-ex-acorn-official-cops-voter-quota-scheme/), he is cooperating with authorities and will testify against several high-ranking ACORN regional officials.



His testimony could strengthen other pending criminal cases against the group and its crooked method of recruiting new voters in low-income, "underserved" communities. For its corrupt 2008 drives alone, ACORN faces criminal charges in Florida, New Mexico and Pennsylvania. In an effort to dismiss the charges in Pennsylvania, the group actually filed a federal lawsuit claiming that the state anti-quota law it violated unconstitutionally interferes (http://www.aclupa.org/downloads/ACORNComplaintFinal.pdf) with important political activity.


In previous elections, ACORN has been busted for falsifying information to register new voters in numerous other states, including Milwaukee, Missouri, Ohio, North Carolina and Colorado to name a few. In 2007 the group settled the largest case of voter fraud in the history of Washington State after seven workers were caught submitting about 2,000 fake registration forms.
ACORN's well documented history of fraud and corruption led to an overdue congressional investigation that determined the community group is a criminal enterprise. A lengthy report (http://republicans.oversight.house.gov/media/pdfs/20090723ACORNReport.pdf) recently published by the House Committee on Government Reform reveals that ACORN has repeatedly and deliberately engaged in systematic fraud and that the group hides behind a paper wall of nonprofit corporate protections to conceal a criminal conspiracy on the part of its directors, to launder federal money in order to pursue a partisan political agenda and to manipulate the American electorate.



Incredibly, the radical leftist organization with offices around the nation continues to receive massive amounts of U.S. taxpayer dollars for its various community programs. Earlier this year ACORN got a multi billion-dollar infusion-for "neighborhood stabilization activities"-from the monstrous economic recovery bill that was supposed to create new jobs and offer an immediate tax relief to stimulate the ailing economy.

so obama got elected thanks to fraud, being an illegal alien and no proof put out to the american people, does not denounce his relationships or actions with extremists who took action against the country, and now runs the country, spending hundreds of billions of dollars to support the groups he came from, as well as trying to make healthcare .gov run so all his "people" can get their coverage paid for by me.

I don't think someone could write a fucking novel with more twists in it.

The only thing evil needs to succeed is for good men to do nothing. To bad this is almost a year to late. But this is a start. They are either going to have go underground and we are going to need something like a gang squad for ACORN or they will just abandon ACORN and start up under a new name and new place to do the same thing.

I hope Obama is kicking himself right now because he just lost 50% of his voters. And maybe we will see a dip in his numbers too.

Wow, those are practically my exact thoughts.

All this means is that ACORN will get their hands slapped, "reorganize" (quite possibly with Federal "oversight", like that means anything positive), and come into the next election as a "reformed" and more highly trusted (by the Feds and libs) organization. The fraud will continue and the next election will be just as falsely swayed as the 2008 election was. The whole deal will fool very few but just like the obvious issues with the 2008 election, no one with any authority will do anything to stop it.

I hope he won't be alone in prison for long. Maybe some of his friends will be joining him soon!
