Don't you wish ALL states would deal with ACORN the way Ohio did?

[corcoran42]

Isn't it clear by now that this "community" organization is filled with crooked "community organizers"?


excerpt...
The wounded ACORN snake continues writhing. This time, the group has been barred from the entire state of Ohio, a swing state where the organization was very active in the last presidential election.

So active, in fact, it received an “Unsung Hero” award from the Communist Party USA for its “critical but generally unrecognized role of organized labor and grassroots voter registration efforts in winning Ohio for Barack Obama,” according to a document on ACORNcracked.com.

But now, ACORN has reached a settlement under the Ohio Corrupt Activities Act, similar to the federal RICO Act – the same law that’s used to prosecute mobsters and drug kingpins. Under the settlement, ACORN, along with Project Vote, agreed “to file a certificate permanently surrendering its business license in Ohio by June 1,” according to The Columbus Dispatch.

The next part of the settlement was critical: it bars ACORN from simply changing its name and moving back into the state. From the Dispatch:

The center’s lawyer, Maurice A. Thompson, said the settlement is mostly confidential but permanently bars ACORN from doing business in Ohio or reconstituting as another group and perpetuating its practices.

Ohio will be the loser state for this.`

All charges against Acorn have been dropped in all States.
The charges have been found to be false in a court of law.
The guy who made the videos is sitting in jail for fraud. (OOH! I didn't realize he had been let out of jail - his parents must be so proud!)

Actually the libertarian party was behind this. Acorn tried to save face as if they were leaving anyway. The libertarians are particularly concerned with Acorn's voter fraud issues and threatened to take them to court. "We were just leaving anyway", says Acorn. Rofl.

No, it's not clear. Keep beating up people trying to help the poor to disenfranchise more and more voters. Slag that horse. Lie, lie, lie. No one believes you.

If the Corrupt Activities Act applies to "community organizers" (a.k.a. communist subversive agitators), then President Obama is in big trouble...

You talking about Ohio where 2004 election was messed with by the Republican idiot in charge so much so that he lost his job? THAT Ohio? Glad I don't live there.

Dems have more than one way of cheating in Ohio. They dont need ACORN. Thart organization was just one out of of their many cheating tools

[toryn34]

ACORN is just changing names. The nuts will be back.
They cannot identify them as ACORN.

They may try, but I think ACORN first needs better lawyers and dare a state to bring a case to trial.
