I know this is touchy. For years now I have felt that simply being of age and a legal citizen with no criminal record. (voting rights can be recaptured by felons) Just should not be enough to get you a voters ID. ACORN has proven I am correct I think in theory.
Organized drives to register people to vote should not be tolerated let alone permitted.
If a person has no desire to get themselves set to vote, they do not know enough to make their vote valid in my estimation. Of course the sick elderly infirm have to be helped.

I don't have not one answer as to how or if even this should be accomplished. But allowing/paying people to aid in vote gathering stinks. If you aren't a special situation and you can't figure out or care enough to register and do the right darn thing in order to vote. Frankly I don't want you voting. Acorn gave up a smoke and got a vote and earned a buck. Not right. One reason we're in this situation now.

I think they are watching this site.

I cannot believe how corrupt this administration is. "Hope and Change" sounded good to fools. I wonder how it is going to work out for them. Congress better wake up quickly.

I think we need another march on DC, picking a date when we know Congress will be in session and the POTUS is in the White House.

The Propoganda Ministry is working overtime, purging all data from all websites.

Amen to that. Last November as I stood in line at my courthouse to vote, I was in total awe of some of my fellow "patriots". There were people standing in line with me who I guarantee you had never set foot in a courthouse before, unless they had "INMATE" stenciled on the back of their shirt. People who don't vote the ISSUES should not have the privilege.

Tea Party tomorrow in Plains, Georgia (Jimmy Carter's home)!

They have been doing these things so long in plain view with the blessing of BO.

Their audacity is something I hope they end up choking on.

These are obviously the new "shovel ready" jobs that Bambi has promised us.

It takes a lot of pro- socialist shovels to rebuild the very foundation of this republic.

But it seems that the only thing they can come up with is just digging themselves deeper into that hole they’re all standing in.

I say, give them some picks to go along with those shovels and a copy of “Whistle While you Work” in their iPods, to help them on their way.

Not Over.

Right you are, Dan… And the snowball just keeps getting larger and gathering more momentum !

How is this legal? Can the WH do that? can they use taxpayer's money to fund their PR campaign?

"GaryK – "I think they are watching this site."

– Yes, probably our tax dollars at work in paying their employees to monitor their own crumbling "palisade" of ACORN et al.

Obama, and politicians on both sides, have built their pyramids of power with ACORN at their bases. Let's hope as much corruption comes tumbling down as possible. They are built upon shifting sand, not bedrock.

Dana, a great article!

Great work Dana, keep it up.

America needs you and everyone else to fight against this.

Keep giving us the ammunition.

Well, with regard to what poster Ken noted, "it''s gone"………it MAY have been gone, but as of my just checking it about 20 seconds ago………it's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack……(and with a Spanish-language version, "servir.gov" as well!)

nope. websute still there.

The concluding paragraph is right on. RIGHT ON.

They should be watching this site. Maybe then they will get some sort of a clue as to what is really going on. There is massive corruption throughout our government, both sides of the aisle, and its time clean house. Vote them out, send them to jail, or maybe even a little bit of both.

One of the serve.com pages says ask for Hussein Muhammad – TOO FREAKING FUNNY!!!!!! I know how we got here but damn the torpedo's men – we will NOT give up our FREEDOM!!!!!

So exactly why in the voter opportunity ad is the phrase "Eligible Voters" in quotes? Isn't this what you do when you want to distort the meaning of something?

Isn't this the what POTUS was promoting on 9/11 – go to service.gov and volunteer? Here's a direct link to the POTUS and ACORN. BTW – don't go to this website, because from the moment you enter, it tracks all personal info and sends it to the White House – heard this the other day on RUSH and his staff has looked into it. It's like flag@whitehouse.gov

I'll bet biggovernment.com has replaced drudgereport.com as the favorite home page for the White House staff.

Are government sites allowed to purge stuff like this? Aren't they supposed to archive it? I do work on several government sites and they are sticklers about preserving everything that gets posted.

I'm hoping for some of these people to turn "States Evidence" – This is what I'm hoping for…

man – SEIU is next … are ya 'watching us" now SEIU*?

If someone cannot advocate for themselves in filling out a voter registration card (avail in my state – NY – online to download, then mail in), then they are too lazy to stay informed about anything and just vote how they think they're supposed to. They vote on charisma – that's how Obama got elected. Not that I cared for McCain & his ideas much either.

I agree with you rovers – too lazy to register on your own = no voting rights.

This is tiresome work on your part and we thank you for it.

It's pretty sad, when you realize just how much corruption there is in our government. I've never seen anything like it, but then again, we haven't been able to utilize the internet until most recently in history.

Is it just me, or are the Democrats the most corrupt of all?

Regarding voting: We need to expose the leftist ''Secretary of State Project'' . In Minnesota, the 'SoS Project 'gave us our ACORN Community Organizer Secretary of State, Mark Ritchie. (It was fascinating how votes materialized out of thin air for Al Franken.) In Minnesota, we have same day voter registration and no picture ID required to vote. Those are 2 agendas pushed by the SoS Project. ACORN, COI,SoS Project, SEIU, Soros…..the slimy tentacles have been growing unchecked for decades.

It was a community organizing group that was intended to build a civilian military corps of activists that were paid for their "work" …thanks to taxpayer $$!!!

Has this organization been looked into yet? I first heard about it on Glenn Beck last year, but not lately – can anyone add to this?

This is what really makes me sick. These people are a cancer and are using MY tax dollars to fund the spread of this disease. This really pisses me off!!!!

Loved the THREE mispellings in the Hussein Muhammad ad. Christ, it was only about 50 words long and he mispelled three. Geesh. I believe Hussein put eligible in quotes to allow for registration of voters who have four fingers and wear white gloves.

That is one thing that is always bothered me about this "get out and vote" crap. There never is anything like educate yourself and then make an informed vote. Voting without any knowledge is a wasted vote. I'm sure it is a complete coincidence that the left promotes uninformed voting.

Voting is a right, yes. But is at the same time a privilege and a responsability…if you can't figure out a butterfly ballot, you have not business picking who should go to city hall or serve as a local judge or alderman, let alone who should be leader of the most powerful entity ever to grace the Earth.

If you have not taken the time to develop a coherent philosophy of government you should not vote.
If you have no understanding of how the economy works you should not vote.
If you have no concept of the challenges of leadership and no insight or empathy to help you evaluate the character of a potential leader you should not vote If you have no sense or knowledge of history you should not vote
If you have are not considering what will actually help other people and what will hurt them in the long term you should not vote
If you have no sense of responsability to those who came before you and those who will come after you should not vote VOTING,

I don’t see how this is any worse than the millions in government handouts for “faith-based initiatives” that took place during the last administration. Or worse yet, the billions and billions in mercenary, no-bid contracts handed out to the likes of Blackwater and Halliburton.

While there are indeed many flaws in the system, and you can’t avoid rouge elements in any large organization, community-based initiatives are important. And yes, look at Bush’s America vs. the America of the 50’s and 60’s where households could get by and leave a decent middle-class life with one breadwinner and a college education. Our “foundation of America” does need quite a bit of rebuilding from 3 decades of conservative deregulation and cut-throat immoral corporate behavior hiding under the mantra of capitalism.

great work… more reasons I love my nobo sticker. http://nobosticker.com/

While I understand and agree with some of what you say, this is much of what makes Obama's policy decisions so dangerous. It is fine that you say someone has to be educated, but who defines properly educated. Liberals have defined that in our school system for a couple of generations now and look what that has gotten us. A bunch of marxists running around claiming communism just got a bad rap. This is only my humble opinion but as I see it once you start restricting rights based on subjective conditions, it is inherent that whatever ideology decides those conditions pushes the criteria in a direction suited to their ideals.

Keep up the good work, and keep the post coming Dana

Shut 'em down..every chapter,every branch…We are special interest groups that are anti-American like Acorn and the National Counsel Of La Raza entitles to tax dollars to start with??

Enter Barack Obama

In attempting to capture the significance of Barack Obama’s Radical Left connections and his relation to the Cloward Piven strategy, I constructed following flow chart. It is by no means complete. There are simply too many radical individuals and organizations to include them all here. But these are perhaps the most significant.

The chart puts Barack Obama at the epicenter of an incestuous stew of American radical leftism. Not only are his connections significant, they practically define who he is. Taken together, they constitute a who’s who of the American radical left, and guiding all is the Cloward-Piven strategy.

Conspicuous in their absence are any connections at all with any other group, moderate, or even mildly leftist. They are all radicals, firmly bedded in the anti-American, communist, socialist, radical leftist mesh.

Saul Alinsky

Most people are unaware that Barack Obama received his training in “community organizing” from Saul Alinsky’s Industrial Areas Foundation. But he did. In and of itself that marks his heritage and training as that of a radical activist. One really needs go no further. But we have.

Bill Ayers

Obama objects to being associated with SDS bomber Bill Ayers, claiming he is being smeared with “guilt by association.” But they worked together at the Woods Fund. The Wall Street Journal added substantially to our knowledge by describing in great detail Obama’s work over five years with SDS bomber Bill Ayers on the board of a non-profit, the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, to push a radical agenda on public school children. As Stanley Kurtz states:

“…the issue here isn’t guilt by association; it’s guilt by participation. As CAC chairman, Mr. Obama was lending moral and financial support to Mr. Ayers and his radical circle. That is a story even if Mr. Ayers had never planted a single bomb 40 years ago.”

Also included in the mix is Theresa Heinz Kerry’s favorite charity, the Tides Foundation. A partial list of Tides grants tells you all you need to know: ACLU, ACORN, Center for American Progress, Center for Constitutional Rights (a communist front,) CAIR, Earth Justice, Institute for Policy Studies (KGB spy nest), National Lawyers Guild (oldest communist front in U.S.), People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), and practically every other radical group there is. ACORN’s Wade Rathke runs a Tides subsidiary, the Tides Center.

Carl Davidson and the New Party

We have heard about Bomber Bill, but we hear little about fellow SDS member Carl Davidson. According to Discover the Networks, Davidson was an early supporter of Barack Obama and a prominent member of Chicago’s New Party, a synthesis of CPUSA members, Socialists, ACORN veterans and other radicals. Obama sought and received the New Party’s endorsement, and they assisted with his campaign. The New Party also developed a strong relationship with ACORN. As an excellent article on the New Party observes: “Barack Obama knew what he was getting into and remains an ideal New Party candidate.”

George Soros

The chart also suggests the reason for George Soros’ fervent support of Obama. The President of his Open Society Institute is Aryeh Neier, founder of the radical Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). As mentioned above, three other former SDS members had extensive contact with Obama: Bill Ayers, Carl Davidson and Wade Rathke. Surely Aryeh Neier would have heard from his former colleagues of the promising new politician. More to the point, Neier is firmly committed to supporting the hugely successful radical organization, ACORN, and would be certain back their favored candidate, Barack Obama.

ACORN

Obama has spent a large portion of his professional life working for ACORN or its subsidiaries, representing ACORN as a lawyer on some of its most critical issues, and training ACORN leaders. Stanley Kurtz’s excellent National Review article, “Inside Obama’s Acorn.” also describes Obama’s ACORN connection in detail. But I can’t improve on Obama’s own words:

I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career (emphasis added). Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work. – Barack Obama, Speech to ACORN, November 2007 (Courtesy Newsmax.)

In another excellent article on Obama’s ACORN connections, Newsmax asks a nagging question:

It would be telling to know if Obama, during his years at Columbia, had occasion to meet Cloward and study the Cloward-Piven Strategy.

I ask you, is it possible ACORN would train Obama to take leadership positions within ACORN without telling him what he was training for? Is it possible ACORN would put Obama in leadership positions without clueing him into what his purpose was?? Is it possible that this most radical of organizations would put someone in charge of training its trainers, without him knowing what it was he was training them for?

As a community activist for ACORN; as a leadership trainer for ACORN; as a lead organizer for ACORN’s Project Vote; as an attorney representing ACORN’s successful efforts to impose Motor Voter regulations in Illinois; as ACORN’s representative in lobbying for the expansion of high risk housing loans through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that led to the current crisis; as a recipient of their assistance in his political campaigns — both with money and campaign workers; it is doubtful that he was unaware of ACORN’s true goals. It is doubtful he was unaware of the Cloward-Piven Strategy.

Fast-forward to 2005 when an obsequious, servile and scraping Daniel Mudd, CEO of Fannie Mae spoke at the Congressional Black Caucus swearing in ceremony for newly-elected Illinois Senator, Barack Obama. Mudd called, the Congressional Black Caucus “our family” and “the conscience of Fannie Mae.”

In 2005, Republicans sought to rein in Fannie and Freddie. Senator John McCain was at the forefront of that effort. But it failed due to an intense lobbying effort put forward by Fannie and Freddie.

In his few years as a U.S. senator, Obama has received campaign contributions of $126,349, from Fannie and Freddie, second only to the $165,400 received by Senator Chris Dodd, who has been getting donations from them since 1988. What makes Obama so special?

His closest advisers are a dirty laundry list of individuals at the heart of the financial crisis: former Fannie Mae CEO Jim Johnson; Former Fannie Mae CEO and former Clinton Budget Director Frank Raines; and billionaire failed Superior Bank of Chicago Board Chair Penny Pritzker.

Johnson had to step down as adviser on Obama’s V.P. search after this gem came out:

An Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) report[1] from September 2004 found that, during Johnson’s tenure as CEO, Fannie Mae had improperly deferred $200 million in expenses. This enabled top executives, including Johnson and his successor, Franklin Raines, to receive substantial bonuses in 1998.[2] A 2006 OFHEO report[3] found that Fannie Mae had substantially under-reported Johnson’s compensation. Originally reported as $6-7 million, Johnson actually received approximately $21 million.

Obama denies ties to Raines but the Washington Post calls him a member of “Obama’s political circle.” Raines and Johnson were fined $3 million by the Office of Federal Housing Oversight for their manipulation of Fannie books. The fine is small change however, compared to the $50 million Raines was able to obtain in improper bonuses as a result of juggling the books.

Most significantly, Penny Pritzker, the current Finance Chairperson of Obama’s presidential campaign helped develop the complicated investment bundling of subprime securities at the heart of the meltdown. She did so in her position as shareholder and board chair of Superior Bank. The Bank failed in 2001, one of the largest in recent history, wiping out $50 million in uninsured life savings of approximately 1,400 customers. She was named in a RICO class action law suit but doesn’t seem to have come out of it too badly.

As a young attorney in the 1990s, Barack Obama represented ACORN in Washington in their successful efforts to expand Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) authority.
In addition to making it EASIER for ACORN groups to FORCE banks into making RISKY loans, this also paved the way for banks like Superior to package mortgages as investments, and for the Government Sponsored Enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to underwrite them.
These changes CREATED THE CONDITIONS that ultimately led to the CURRENT FINANCIAL CRISIS!!

Did they not know this would occur? Were these smart people, led by a Harvard graduate, unaware of the Econ 101 concept of moral hazard that would result from the government making implicit guarantees to underwrite private sector financial risk? They should have known that freeing the high-risk mortgage market of risk, calamity was sure to ensue. I think they did.

Barack Obama, the Cloward-Piven candidate, no matter how he describes himself, has been a radical activist for most of his political career. That activism has been in support of organizations and initiatives that at their heart seek to tear the pillars of this nation asunder in order to replace them with their demented socialist vision. Their influence has spread so far and so wide that despite their blatant culpability in the current financial crisis, they are able to manipulate Capital Hill politicians to cut them into $140 billion of the bailout pie!

God grant those few responsible yet remaining in Washington, DC the strength to prevent this massive fraud from occurring. God grant them the courage to stand up in the face of this Marxist tidal wave.

That is the wrong reason. We are now finding out just how wrong it is.

I know I am going to get a thrashing. How about this, if you don;t pay taxes you don't vote. Why should someone have a say on how money is spent if they did not contribute in the first place. I believe, forgive me if I am wrong, that was way in the beginning of our great Republic. Okay I'll go put on my face shield so let mudslinging begin.

"When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." – Benjamin Franklin

You can and should. I think many Americans are confused about how to navigate the health care system and don't know these benefits exist.

Yeah, it's totally obvious that you were being ironic, given your tone and the context of your comment. Totally, completely obvious. (See? That's sarcasm. It's different from irony. What I'm actually saying is that you didn't demonstrate in any way, shape, or form that you visited the website linked in the ad, which has naught to do with ACORN.)

Also, there's nothing particularly ironic about your comment.

"I don't know too much about Acorn or the work that they do, and it doesn't seem like anyone else here does either."

If you don't know, WHY are you popping off, Pops?

Didn't you see what happened at "The Beer Summit"? And why they had to have one?

Pot, meet Kettle…

yeah, would be best i think

I went to the site and found the Tuscon jobs. I noticed that you can enter "reviews" of the voluteer organization. Let''s offer reviews for ACORN, there is a link that lets you sign up and offer a review. SWAMP 'EM with the truth!! BTW, Currently there are ZERO reviews of ACORN.

I did search on all caps ACORN, and the hits are way at the back of the stack when i searched.

Aaaa—aaaa-men, brother.

Obama's mother, Stanley A. Dunham, worked for Tim Geithner's Father Peter Geithner at the Ford Foundation.
Ford Foundation is partnered with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Obama and Tim Geithner were childhood friends.

Remember Tony Rezko?
Obama used Rezko to launder about $100 million of taxpayer dollars while Obama was still a State Senator.

Geithner is Obama's right hand in accessing the Tony Rezkos (people like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates) of the national level for Obama and the Democrats while he's President.

That's why that with all this trouble about AIG, Obama did not get rid of Geithner.
Geithner is a valuable tool for them to ROB THIS COUNTRY through its national policies.

Didn't get rid of Clinton…any other ideas? I'd be interested …

I don't know who you are and don't want to but you are a funny M–F. As much as I hate to admit it, I am laughing my ass off because ( DAMNIT ) I UNDERSTOOD all of that. I AM A SICK PUPPY. NEVER loose your sense of humor.

Old man Meeks…

Volunteer to register voters… Not a bad goal, except that THIS particular group has registered literally thousands of dead people, children as young as seven, Mickey Mouse, et al. They are under investigation in fourteen states for fraudulent voter registrations, and to date over 30 members have either plead guilty or been convicted of this crime. In one notorious instance in Nevada, the judge was presented with a "new" voter registration card in his OWN NAME. OTHER "community service & activist" groups actually register REAL people! 'Nuff on that line…
ACORN is a paid "consultant" to most major banks, including Chase and Fannie-Mae. ($800,000 from Chase in 2007 [from their tax return]… This equates to "protection" money. Banks that refused to "contribute" found their lobbies jammed with people who had no intention of banking, only disrupting business. Once the "consulting fee" was paid, they forced banks to remove the so-called "red-line" zones in inner cities and forced the banks to approve MANY mortgages that could not be repaid.

"If you have no understanding of how the economy works you should not vote. "
That would mean that no Democrats would ever be elected Heck, while all of your points are good, if such requirements existed for candidates also we'd have to get rid of 98% of Congress and start over.

Thank you

The key is not just the top of the federal government – we need to root out this cancer at the local level as well. We need to change our thinking to see the leftist structure – Here's a good example: How would you feel about "Public School" if it were accurately named to "Government School??!!"

This is how the left has slowly added constraints/chains to our freedom by stealing the language and making all battles a fight on their terms – time to stop fighting on their terms and fight on ours – schools are a great place to start – let's get our kids out of the 'government schools'

Acorn is the begiing – our corruption fight has to be taken to the entire Oak tree of teh democratic corruption

http://www.meetup.com/912HUB/ takes on ACORN – FIGHT BACK and QUESTION with BOLDNESS.

Let's see, 1993 would make that a Klintoon Democrat organization. And during the 8 years of Bushy, that would make it a Republican organization. Corruption = government. And be sure to include states in with your thoughts. Otherwise numerous states would not be cutting them off. Someone should also check of the cities and counties that contribute to the downfall of the US.

If you spend a little time via serv.gov you can find thousands of potential little ACORNs and affiliations all across the US — down to your local town. It may even tracks to the local sheriff as an affiliate. Shadow government with enforcement.

Absolutely right on!!

don't know if any one posted this – servir.com spanish version of serve.com

Also…too:__rovers: I agree …I saw a 112 year old black man interviewed during the election…the reporter asked him why he was voting for BO and he said…quote " because he's black " , I heard he died a bit later. That just ain't right. A lot of white people voted for BO…and here we are. In debt up to our ears. I don't care if the sob is purple or green, the spending is out of hand and this acorn s@#t got to go.

I also agree w/ Mark, no paying taxes, no damn voting. AND there WILL be a test.
myna: You better believe this is a clearing house. If we EVER find the head of this thing ( to CUT IT OFF )…I would be willing to bet it has the face of George Soros…..

A GOVERNMENT WEBSITE FILTERING ACTIVISTS TO ACORN????Are you f@#king kidding me??
Somebody hand me a knife, I think I' going to slit my own throat.

Sickening.

…". I do think that volunteering to register voters, and assisting low income families with taxes is positive. "

This is an ancient criminal tactic, cloaking your organization in an altruist purpose.

Even the nations most notorious mobster at the time, Al Capone, had huge public support, due to his "altruist" community outreach programs…he funded over two dozen "free" soup kitchens "to help the poor".

That doesn't mean he didn't have an agenda or that he wasn't a brutal crook. He was also involved heavily in "voter registration" and prostitution.

rovers, I couldn't agree with you more! If one is TRULY interested in their government and country there is an EASY process in order to secure and USE your voter's registration. To have individuals seek you out, in jail or where ever, to get you to register leads one to question the underlaying reason for this. Those TRULY interested in the affairs of our welfare are the ones who seek out to do the right thing, those who have no interest truly are ignorant for a reason, pushing that ignorance to driving our nation's governmental decisions has a devastating impact to all who do the right thing day in and day out. Seems that the ones doing the right thing are geting outnumbered by those who do not…..

Already wiped off the site, less than 24 hours later.

They can run but they can't hide! At least until the cyber czar comes up with a way to remove the ability to search ACORN.

Someone spammed the allforgood.org site. If you go in via Serve.gov, then type ACORN, you'll see what I mean. Too funny!

It's not just Acorn that needs to be investigated. CCI collects the money for acorn but they are teamed with SEIU and also have 300+ affiliate organizations. All of these have to be tied together because if you just cut off Acorn funding, the other afiiliates could still receive funding.

The weirdest thing just happened. I typed in "acorn," and I got back a list of results all with the same heading: "kiss my ass." I am absolutely not making this up. I should have screen captured it, because when I redid the search, I got a completely different set of search results. Can anybody explain this? Hacked?

I agree woth you there, only people who pay real taxes should vote, since it their money that is being spent.

I fear my childern will never truly know a free America. It seems you can't say what you think unless you're in the pocket of one of the hunderns of organizations, this soon to be socialist goverment, is thruoghing your tax dollars at. I beleive if we don't stand together now we ,as a nation, will have nothing left to stand for. NO COUNTRY NO UNION NO AMERICA NO FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ask all true free Americans to stand up now help save our nation now. Let our local congress men and women know they will not stay in office if they keep letting this cruption and waste go on.

We have a long, tough road ahead of us.

Pretty interesting. That site is gone and all the opportunities. I wanted to get on the bandwagon and become a healthcare activist in my community…NOT!! Thanks Dana. keep it up and find more we need to expose!!

gone

FYI: The whole point of the serve.gov site is to let groups across the country register their own projects/volunteer opportunities, not the White House shoving its agenda down the throats of innocent taxpayer lambs, as some of the handwringers here suggest.

What Dana conveniently fails to mention in her article is if you type in "ACORN," you also get results for very clearly anti-ACORN groups. And if you are to type in, say, "Tea Party," why, you just might find some results offering ways to get involved with and learn more about tea party organizations.

Then again, offering that important context wouldn't really fit in with the reaction Dana's going for.

The establishment's world is crumbling.
The CNN 'host' (i.e. the man with approximately the same skin shading as OBAMA the CHILD SEX SLAVE DRIVER'S LAWYER) last night looked terrified (unable to concentrate) while 'mentioning' ACORN.

Another march on DC during a 'working day' sounds like an excellent idea; focussed purely on his association with ACORN and the CHILD SEX SLAVE SCANDAL.

THERE MUST BE A COUPLE MILLION GOD FEARING AMERICANS OUT THERE

OBAMA IS TRULY THE DEVIL!!!!!!!!!!

RUB HIS FACE IN IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!! IT IS THE ONLY WAY A DOG LEARNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are proof that if you care to vote. It can be done. There is no need in this country for orgs to organize get out to vote drives. Good for you keep up the good work.

When we type in Acorn, we just get more of you.

I didn't know about hispanic heritage month until seeing it on the "serve.com" page. When did that start? We have a Black history month and now an Hispanic month, when do we get a Caucasion month, to learn about whites? Indians may want an Indian month, they have a big history too in America. I am offended deeply, it is discrimination and certainly racist! My dog wants a special month, too. My dog has rights too, obama's special czar said so. She wants to sue this administration for incompetence and stupidity. Come to think about it, why is there a spanish version on that site? If you are a citizen of the U.S., you should already know English………. right? I mean you did take a citizenship test, hmmm.. We here in America speak English, why have a spanish version? Oh yea, darn, I forgot. "this ain't America no more".

What a ridiculous comment.
You might expect a child to say "You have mother's day, what day is kids day?" And the Mom responds to the Child, "Why every day is Kids day. All I get is One Day."

Same can be said your your scenario, Susie Q.
Grow up!

All the commenters here who say they are afraid, you are afraid because you are letting the WiseGuys like Beck and Hannity and Dick Armey and his Insurance Provider Lobbyists scare you to death.
List Up! There are NO Death Panels. The President IS a citizen, not a kenyan or a muslim.
If you wanted to be afraid, you should have been afraid in the regime of Bush/Cheney. Think about the wrongful war, the trillions in debt to China, bankrupting the ecomony, taxcuts for the rich, deregulation, the patriot act. You should have been afraid then. Look where we landed, due to them and look how the world hated us.

We finally have a good man in as President. An honest man. A man who is looking to help WE The People.
Stop listening to Crybaby Beck, and the buffoons Hannity and Limbaugh. Turn off Fox News.
Try reading a book. Enlighten yourselves.
Be Patriotic! Love Your Country! Honor your President.

Oh I see. If you asked for "ACORN" entries, you get "ACORN" entries. Wow! Who woulda thunk? ACORN itself clearly has quality control issues as well as some heavily partisan ones. I would have thought the partisan ones are quite self-obvious since the GOP is not exactly known for helping the poor and the wrongly-colored. The quality control is obvious for any large organization, and obviously ACORN is large or you wing nuts wouldn't be going after them.

So what is the news here? Where is the big smoking gun conspiracy? Black helicopters? What?
