Acorn Charged in Voter Registration Fraud Case in Nevada

[Freedom4all]

No big shocker

The organization, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or Acorn, is accused of paying canvassers only if they registered at least 20 voters per shift and providing bonuses of $5 for registering more than 21.

Under Nevada law, it is illegal to attach incentives to such work, in part because it encourages canvassers to submit fraudulent forms, Secretary of State Ross Miller said.

Acorn submitted 91,002 completed forms in Clark County, which includes Las Vegas, of which 23,186 turned out to be valid new voters who voted in November, according to data provided by Mr. Miller’s office.

The indictment includes 13 counts each against Acorn and its former Las Vegas field director, Christopher Edwards, who is accused of creating an incentive program called “blackjackâ€￾ because $5 was paid for signing more than 21 prospective voters.

Also indicted was Acorn’s former deputy regional director, Amy Busefink, on 13 counts of principle to the crime of compensation for registration of voters. Each charge carries a potential one- to four-year prison term and a $5,000 fine.

Who really cares?

It's in the court system and whatever happens, happens.

1. Our Borders are not secured
2. We waste Billions on the insane war on drugs
3. Our wages are confiscated by a corrupt Federal Government
4. The Patriot Act robs us of our civil liberties
5. The BATF impinges on our right to own a firearm

and you're worried about freaking ACORN?

Take about tripping over a dollar to pick up a dime.

Yes, just as well you should be as well since they are also tapped to aid in the Census count as well. Problem connecting the dots and having forethought perhaps?

Im sure nothing will come of it, after all ACORN is Obama's pet project.

Go figure...Conyers chickens out on ACORN probe.

bok bok bok

Secretary state of Nevada went on the am news shows this morning stating that over half of the 90k forms submitted by ACORN, the persons ID could not be verified (ssn, DL, etc.). The over all state percentage has always been less then 2% of the same unverifiable data on forms.

Whats wrong with this picture?

Acorn Preamble (excerpts)

We stand for a People's Platform, as old as our country, and as young as our dreams. We come before our nation, not to petition with hat in hand, but to rise as one people and demand.

Ok...harmless enough...I think :huh:

But we have nothing to show for the work of our hand, the tax of our labor. Our patience has been abused; our experience misused. Our silence has been seen as support. Our struggle has been ignored.

Huh? What struggle is that? :blink:

This is not a simple vision, but a detailed plan.
We demand our birthright: the chance to be rich, the right to be free.

The chance to be rich? Sounds good, hard work and determination, etc.
The right to be free? Err ok, odd statement...whatever...I guess :unsure:

Our freedom is the force of democracy, not the farce of federal fat and personal profit. In our freedom, only the people shall rule. Corporations shall have their role; producing jobs, providing products, paying taxes. No more, no less. They shall obey our wishes, respond to our needs, serve our communities. Our country shall be the citizens' wealth and our wealth shall build our country.

:blink: Your people will rule? Obey your wishes? Your needs?
BTW that wealth you want to be the citizens, may want to talk to Obama bout that, he make dang sure you stay poor. :mf_boff: :mf_boff:

Government shall have its role: public servant to our good, fast follower to our sure steps. No more, no less. Our government shall shout with the public voice and no longer to a private whisper. In our government, the common concerns shall be the collective cause.

Ok now the wheels have fallen off the cart. Public servant to their good? :down:
