Holly, It was documented happening in Pennsylvania and Ohio, but it happened in probably all 50 states. The organization is corrupt, the fact that they endorsed President Obama, (or any candidate, I would be outraged just the same if they had endorsed McCain!) and are taking tax dollars to "community organize" and "Get Out The Vote", on behalf of any one candidate is not only morally wrong, it is illegal.
My point of the "Blogger" was just a jab, as Studio has pointed out, there has been relatively little coverage of this kid out in Orange County, but I surmise that this is because his alleged offense is minor. "IF" this kid had been caught doing what those kids in Pennsylvania and Ohio had been doing, it is my sincere belief that there would have been a huge, national media storm of coverage!! http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2009/05/7_pennsylvania_acorn_workers_c.html On Fri, Jun 19, 2009 at 11:58 PM, Hollywood <[email protected]>wrote: > > KIT, > > All I ever saw was ACORN encouraging people to get out and vote for > the candidate of their choice. > > Blog?
