ACORN Out of Business in Ohio
Tags: Democrat Culture of Corruption, Leftist Groups.
One down, 49 to go:
ACORN, the liberal group notorious for allegedly trying to inflate voter rolls through fraudulent practices, has seen its last election in Ohio.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now will permanently surrender its Ohio business license by June1 as part of a legal settlement with the conservative Buckeye Institute for Public Policy Solutions, both sides said yesterday.
ACORN was active in Ohio in the 2006 and 2008 elections, working to register thousands of low-income people to vote and get them to the polls. The group’s efforts were marred by irregularities, including one case in which ACORN workers allegedly induced a Cleveland man to register to vote 72 times, offering cigarettes as an incentive.
Keep your eyes peeled for some sort of successor organization. These fraudsters aren’t about to give up. We’ll have to pursue them and their attempts to subvert America relentlessly.
Of course, a good effort in this would be to get the ACORN-in-Chief out of office in 2012.

Judicial Watch reports that the Obama Administration shut down a criminal investigation into ACORN’s activities
WASHINGTON, March 11 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained documents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) detailing federal investigations into the alleged corrupt activities of Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). The documents reference serious allegations of corruption and voter registration fraud by ACORN as well as the Obama administration’s decision to shut down a criminal investigation without filing criminal charges.The documents include background information on two specific complaints filed in October 2008 by Lucy Corelli and Joseph Borges, Republican Registrars of Voters in Stamford and Bridgeport, Connecticut, respectively, during the 2008 election season.
According to Corelli, on August 1, 2008, her office received 1,200 ACORN voter registration cards from the Secretary of State’s office. Over 300 of these cards were rejected because of “duplicates, underage, illegible and invalid addresses,” which “put a tremendous strain on our office staff and caused endless work hours at taxpayers’ expense.” Corelli claimed the total cost of the extra work caused by ACORN corruption was$20,000. Likewise, Borges contended that: “The organization ACORN during the summer of 2008 conducted a registration drive which has produced over 100 rejections due to incomplete forms and individuals who are not citizens…” Among the examples cited by Borges was a seven-year old child who was registered to vote by ACORN through the use of a forged signature and a fake birth certificate claiming she was 27-years old.
The FBI and Department of Justice opened an investigation. However, the Obama Justice Department, while noting that ACORN had engaged in “questionable hiring and training practices,” closed down the investigation in March 2009, claiming ACORN broke no laws.

According to the lapdog media and other lemming moochers, some of whom post here, “nothing to see here”.
Tired
a criminal enterprise, comprised of chicago mobsters, innercity thugs, and membership of black panthers and nation of islam, and the white house.
I’m sure we’ll be treated to the tired old litany of “just a few employees did bad things, this is not proof ACORN itself is corrupt”.
Oh, wait—maybe we won’t. This thread has been up for more than 24 hours and they haven’t crawled out of the woodwork yet.
But it goes deeper than just ACORN. I was at a gathering that included many foreign-born people (all here legally, by the way….) and we started talking about the whole visa process, etc. One of them complained that after she went to get her drivers license, showed her work visa, was questioned about the work visa, and engaged in quite a lengthy discussion in which it was clear that she was not a citizen, after the license was issued she was asked “Would you like to register to vote?” Every one of the others chimed in saying the same thing had happened to them.
Motor Voter is another scam to get as many unqualified voters as possible registered. These people don’t have to vote: Once they are on the voter registration rolls, anyone can use those names to vote. Remember, one certain party has vehemently fought efforts to demand photo IDs to vote.
Connect the dots…
