Barack Obama’s Working Families Party – “Tax The Rich And Give It Back To The Poor”
by Andrew MarcusDid ACORN’s Working Families Party steal an election in New York?
Fox News is reporting that absentee ballots were fraudulently cast with stolen identities, and that the number of allegedly fraudulent votes was enough to potentially tip the election in the favor of Working Families Party candidates.
Brian Suozzo voted with an absentee ballot in the Working Families Party primary on Sept. 15 because, as his application stated, he was “at home recovering from medical procedure.”
Jessica Boomhower’s application said she would be attending a “work conference in Boston.”
Michael Ward couldn’t vote in person because he was “taking care of elderly parent.”
Kimberlee Truell was on a “Bus trip to casino,” as was Miguel Vazques.
The only problem with these absentee ballot records at the Rensselaer County Board of Elections in Troy, N.Y., is that they’re phony, voters and investigators say — and they’ve prompted what’s being called an unprecedented investigation of suspected voter fraud.
One person who must comment on these developments is ACORN Chief Organizer and Working Families Party co-founder, Bertha Lewis.
Also from the Fox News article linked above:
Critics also accuse the Working Families Party of having a long association with the troubled activist group, ACORN. Bertha Lewis, ACORN’s CEO, is one of the party’s co-founders. The New York Times reported this month that “Patrick Gaspard, the White House political director, worked with ACORN in New York to set up the Working Families political party and sat on the party’s board with Ms. Lewis.”The WFP has also endorsed New York Democratic Sen. Kristen Gillibrand, who was one of only seven Senators who voted against cutting federal housing funds to ACORN in September.
Patrick Gaspard might be a good person to seek out for comment, too. He shouldn’t be hard to find since he works for the White House.
If you are scratching your head wondering how a leader of an obscure, local third party could wind up in an influential position in the Obama administration, it might have something to do with the fact that Barack Obama, in addition to being the nominee of the Democratic party, was also the proud nominee of the Working Families Party in New York State.
Yes, that’s right – when Barack Obama ran for president in 2008 in the state of New York, he did so as a member of the Working Families Party.
The image above is from the New York Board of Elections website.
Below is Bertha Lewis in her own words, asking people to vote Obama on the Working Families Party line:
And here is a commercial [below] which Working Families Party produced, urging people to vote Obama on the Working Families Party line:
This is not just a loose association with the group. This is a full embracing of the Working Families Party platform, which includes socialized medicine, “making the wealthy pay their fair share,” and redistributing property tax dollars evenly across all districts to fund public schools and universities statewide.
Again, in their own words [below]: “Tax the rich and give it back to the poor” (1:20):
The major benefit to being a member of a group like ACORN and SEIU’s Working Family Party, is that the relationship comes with its own built in mob-action media machine. This comes in very handy when you want to send people to the homes of AIG employees to vilify them for bonuses the government signed onto just months earlier.
If you are struggling to remember that event, the fine folks at Working Families Party produced a short video about it.
This is the very group whose anger President Obama said he didn’t want to quell.
No wonder he supported them. They supported him.
Change!

This fraud HAS to include ACORN insiders working at the polling places, or the elections board offices. SOMEBODY researched the registered voters, and made a list of people who don't vote. That's the only way that this could have happened. For that matter, it could even include some employees at the USPO, possibly diverting mailings of absentee ballots. This just gets better and better.
WoW!
This is shaping up to quite the sporting pigeon shoot. Line 'em up, and knock 'em down Bretibart………..BOOM!
ACORN is a corrupt political organization, worse than the machine politics of yore….unfortunately, with Eric Holder as AG, they will NEVER, EVER be properly investigated.
Any group which does political and community organizing should be prohibited from receiving government funding. Period. We've seen the reductio ad absurdum of what corrupt people abusing taxpayer funding has wrought.
It's really time to re-think absentee and mail-in ballots. Sure you should be able to vote within a reasonable period prior of an election if you are infirmed or in the military or live half the year in another state, but, it has been stretched way beyond those guidelines. It's time to lean on our useless state legislators and clean this up.

enough said.
Why would Acorn only be involved in mortgage fraud? If there was massive voter fraud where are the videos??? All we need is an insider turn-coat or someone in the FBI. If Obama was fraudulently elected we need to throw his butt out! ASAP
He was fraudulently elected, further, he should formally be charged with sedition, and treason.
The last video was on AIG They are not into mortgages. They write insurance on bundles of mortgage securities that default. Nice house./ I suspect he would forclose if he refused to make payments.
but we have to prove he was frauduletly elected, or that he knew of the voter fraud, just think how much that tape would be worth. The next round of federal elections is going to be pivotal. Its gonna be a battle between tax payers and tax consumers. We know what side our red president is gonna be lying for.

Uh OH! Joe Biden speaks.
About two weeks ago, simple Joe made the statement that the recession was over, due to the swift action that He and Barrack had taken, to avert a total global financial collapse. it appears now that he has revised and extended his remarks, and says we are now in a Depression. I am curious, how will the MSM cover that headline?
"Recession Over; Happy Days are Here Again; Why Am I So Depressed"?
I think it's time for the Pinkerton Agency to come back to life…we need to do some serious Union Busting! Show up where the union scum shows up to protest, and intimidate through brute force!
go easy on the ladies and handicaped
NOW they are noticing fraud.
How much was done for previous elections, when they were "just helping the poor folks get ahead"?
Keep digging, you know there is more to find.
Funny, because my daughter and I were just discussing ACORN and the question that was brought up was:
Would Obama have won the presidential election without ACORN? Hmmmmmm.
Who, btw, is Eric Holder ? Are you referring to our illustrious and concentrated UNITED STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL ? Ummm…… You collective group of Juris Doctors…. Have you an opinion about your AG ? Are you willing to defend a position that is indefensible ? Have you no legal argument or have you turned into just the contemporary social class of wimpy metrosexuals posing as attorneys ? Any ballz left ? I don't think so… I am waiting !
Unfortunately, Pinkerton might not be the ones you want to call in. Check out what happened to them:
In July 2003, Pinkerton's was acquired along with longtime rival, the William J. Burns Detective Agency (founded in 1910), by Securitas AB to create Securitas Security Services USA, Inc., one of the largest security companies in the world. Securitas, and several other major security companies, are now under union organization through the SEIU (Services Employees International Union).

Two words: picture ID
Two more: purple finger
You get an absentee ballot if you're in the military or verifiably living out of the country. That's it.
Make Election Day a federal holiday- everything else is- and everyone goes to the polls on one day.
I have a legitimate question. How do you keep going every day, day in and day out with a new revelation about what these Progressives, Marxists, Socialists, Communists, Black Liberation Theologists, et al. are up to? I am finding it hard to get my head a round the very scope of their subversion of The U.S.A. I need some good news to keep me going. Sometimes ya just need pep talk.
All I really know for sure, is I owe everything I have to this country. My life is true rags to "upper middle class" story. I couldn't have done it anywhere else on earth. We have to win this fight so future generations have the same opportunity if they just work hard.
When the rocks start getting turned over look out for what crawls out.
What a great speech.
Just a little more digging and there will be enough to force O and B (and at least half the D-rats) out of office. The evidence is there, it's going to be a matter of forcing it to the surface and hope someone overcomes their fear long enough to let the truth out of the bag.
One thing is wrong with the title of this post. It implies that the rich took money from the poor and BO wants to return it. The poor never had that money to begin with, BUT as countless Americans have proved, this is the place to go from rags to riches…and it is done without government involvement.
Voter Fraud, a liberal tradition going back 100 years.
BTW, Ted Kennedy is STILL dead, that is, until the next election.

[...] One pervasive theme is an attitude of class warfare. For a specific example, see (1:20) in this video produced by the Working Families Party, where the woman on camera exclaims “Tax The Rich And Give It Back To The Poor”. [...]
Democrats and Republicans… whats the difference? They are all corrupt. They are so corrupt they won't allow and independent, non-governmental committee, to investigate them. And we know the mass-media is in the tank for them. The Answer…. "TAKE OUR GOVERNMENT BACK"!!! We should all write a simple letter to all elected officials and say Thank you for your service but "NO INCUMBANT" will be reelected in 2010. I would also put in that letter the following. We as tax payers do not like our position in the pecking order. We know your alligience is to 1: You getting reelected. 2: Your party – so they will help you get reelected. 3: Getting as much PORK to send home to your state – to help get you reelected. 4: Vote the party line – because nancy peloci and harry reid told you to. 5: Try to sneak in a vote that would truely help the people once in a while – to try and get reelected. We don't like being number 5. We want to be number 1. We as voters need to make them fear us… not nancy and harry!
You are a moron. Your understanding of electoral law is fuzzy, and you make the common rightist mistake of taking association (a is related to b) for identity (a=b). So, for example, you state (correctly) that Barack Obama appeared on the NYS ballot on both the Democratic and Working Families line. But then you make the un believable statement that this means that Barack Obama is a "member" of the. Which is false. This is potentially because you simply do not understand NYS electoral law that allows for "fusion voting" and cross-endorsement. As the unhighlighted portion of the visual aid you provide makes clear, McCain/Palin appeared in three lines on the ballot – Republican, Conservative, and Independent. This does not make them "members" of these three parties, however, any more than Obama/Biden appearing on the WFP line makes them "members" of the WFP. Membership requirements vary from party to party according to their bylaws, but typically require officially "signing up" as a member of the party or registering to vote with a given party affiliation.
Conntinued in next comment
Cross-endorsement, on the other hand, does not require a candidate to be a member of the minority party. This is obvious if you consider briefly that typically one can be registered with one's local election board as affiliated with only one party (to vote in primaries). One simply cannot register with more than one. Cross-endorsement would be a legal and logical impossibility if one had to be registered with a given party in order to be nominated by them.
Well, I hope that clears up your understanding. From now on, try to restrain yourself from commenting on matters you do not understand. It is irresponsible to offer public commentary when you simply do not comprehend the matter you are commenting on.
Yeah! Or maybe just some old-fashioned brown-shirts to put those uppity workers back in their place!
