ACORN: Yet more support for Obama
Yet more support for Obama
Friday, 22 February 2008
Wednesday, the Association of Community Organisations for Reform Now (ACORN) decided to endorse Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. The organisation thinks Obama will deal with the foreclosure crisis affecting many low-income house owners, and expects he will enact fair immigration reform.
Another reason to support Obama is the fact that he has worked with ACORN when he was an organiser for Project Vote, an initiative to boost voter turnout. ““I come out of a grassroots organizing background,” Obama told ACORN members. “That's what I did for three and half years before I went to law school”.
ACORN, an organisation with over 350,000 members, often works with unions in living wage and voter mobilisation campaigns.
Yesterday, Obama also got the support of Change to Win, the federation of unions that split from the AFL-CIO in 2005. Affiliates SEIU and UFCW had already announced their endorsement of Obama.

Obama BUSTED again! -
raves +2 posted Oct 11, 2008 03:43PM GMTThis is an important post issue, 70's girl. For this campaign alone, Obama has paid Acorn millions of dollars towards getting people registered. Ironically, Acorn did enforce Obama plus it is a far to the left Liberal entity. It is obvious who the Acorn/chiefs tell their employee/Indians to register, the Democrats. Now there is registration fraud in eleven states so far. The FBI is investigating Clark County in Nevada, which is the home of Las Vegas. Not only does Acorns' Community Organizers register voters as you have said, 70's girl, they had an agenda to strong arm bankers into lending money to people who could not afford loans during the 90's until recently. Now we are in the greatest disaster since the Great Depression. The effects of the money fiasco are felt across the entire world.
