ACORN Throws Out Republican Voter Registrations
by Pamela GellerACORN wants people to register to vote – as long as they’re Democrats. Republican registrations go into the trash.
Here is a first-hand account of how it happens. In February 2008, Fathiyyah Muhammad of Jacksonville, Florida, heard that ACORN was paying people three dollars for each voter they could register. ACORN paid her three dollars for each voter she registered, but Fatiyyah Muhammad says that the group threw out her votes and fired her when she brought them registrations of Republican voters.
Fathiyyah Muhammad voted for Obama. “I’m a Republican,” she says, “and this was the first time that I voted for a Democrat since JFK…. I’m one of those rare birds, a black conservative Republican, and actually this is the black conservative capital of the country, Jacksonville, Florida.” She is an entrepreneur and a great American: she makes custom caps for her businesses Bilal’s Custom Caps and Only in America. She and her James have made custom caps for politicians, sports heroes, musicians, and others. “America,” she says, “is the place you can live your dreams if you work at it.” She’s a can-do woman with a great American spirit, and when she saw what was breaking in the news about ACORN, she came forward; I interviewed her Monday morning.
“This is my first experience” with ACORN, Muhammad said. “This was before Obama got the nomination, long before then….I heard about this group that was paying $3.00 per person, to go out and to get people to sign up to vote. So I went over, I thought that well this is a good way to make some money because I know everybody, you know. I went over there and this guy signed me up and everything, and gave me my little pad, all this stuff.”
Muhammad went to the ACORN office in Jacksonville. There she encountered a young man speaking to a room of about twenty people. “He was telling us, you know, about his experience, he was from Brooklyn, he wasn’t from this area. He was just here recruiting people to register people to vote. They had a big office here, and I would say maybe about ten or twelve people at there.”
She went to work: “Well, I went out and got a lot of people, homeless people, but of course I signed everybody up as a Republican, and I would have put people had they been Democrats.” She was not forcing people to sign up as Republicans: “You could put down anything you wanted.” But when she got back to ACORN, a group leader was not pleased: “So I showed what I had, and he said, “No, no, you a fraud, there can’t be any black Republicans,’ and oh, he just kind of hung me out to dry…. But of course their main aim was to register only Democrats. They’re not interested in registering Republicans.”
She saw ACORN officials in Jacksonville throw out the Republican registrations she made. “They just discarded those, they weren’t valid. All of the registrations… they just threw those out.” Yet she says that she is sure that the people she registered were actually going to vote: “Yes, they all were going to vote, I just didn’t want to get anybody just to get the three dollars, I wasn’t desperate for three dollars.”
ACORN did not honor its agreement to pay three dollars for each registered voter. “He took my papers,” says Muhammad, “didn’t pay me anything and I just left, I just figured that this is just another scam…. Everyone else got paid, all the other people got paid, but I didn’t. And I didn’t make a big deal about it, I just figured that it was another one of life’s experiences.”
Fatiyyah Muhammad didn’t know anything about ACORN at that time. She didn’t know that ACORN has been doing this for a long time. As far back as November 2006 the organization was indicted for some 40,000 illegal voter registrations, and that was before any of the recent revelations.
Now Fatiyyah Muhammad says: “I can’t believe that they got away with it for so long.” And she wants her story to be told: “How are you going to shine a light on the laundry if you don’t want to come out and say what happened?”
Fatiyyah Muhammad is unafraid to shine that light. And her testimony is another nail in the coffin of the community organizers of ACORN and their stealth agenda.

Love Pam Geller and her thread at Atlas Shrugged. She is always out front, taking the heat. Would love to see more of her here. She is always correct in her assessments.
Thanks Pamela. I saw this yesterday. Fortunate for alFranken, this seems to work.
What a surprise. This gift just keeps on giving!

So when are we going to be able to question the legitimacy of the 2008 election results? Gore was able to bring his "hanging chad" case before the courts citing voter fraud. When do the Republicans get the same opportunity?
Republican voter registrations were thrown out. Mickey Mouse voted. I think there is a case.
ACORN wouldn't have a political agenda… they're a non-partisan organization.
great article, Pamela.
I bet you could multiply Muhammad's experience by hundreds to see the nasty fraud of ACORN on this one issue. She is brave to come forward…just watch your back…thanks for your bravery and honesty!
" I just figured that this is just another scam…. "
Fathiyyah Muhammad your a true American. Thank You!
Well I guess then if were to go the route of Bertha Lewis we could accuse them of being racists since according to Democrats all Republicans are white…
But of course we won't stoop to their level… the level of stupidity…
I am glad though to see the courage of Fatiyyah Muhammad to stand up to the status quo built by Democrats and ACORN…
This should also be national news. Please keep this up front for everyone to see. This should not be let to die like other news worthy stories. We need more people like Fathiyyah Muhammad to step up and tell their story. Keep up the pressure and lets watch the downfall of ACORN!!!
It seems that every election from 06 through 08 needs to be checked thoroughly.Fourteen states investigating voter registration fraud will explode to fifty.It's a slow process because the Lame Street Media won't even report on the known 14 states much less report this horrific story.Because of Obama and the democrats some nasty layers of government are being peeled back.
Why am I not surprised? I still chuckle at people around here who think Acorn is a non-political/partisan group. This is just one more story to direct them to!
Why am I not surprised. Shut them down!
o/t but was asked to pass this along. Thought BG posters would like this bill –
Subject: HR 615 – Please forward to everyone you know
On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment, courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn which would require all Members of Congress and their staff members to enroll in any new government-run health plan.
Congressman John Fleming has proposed an amendment that would require Congressmen and Senators to take the same health care plan that they would force on us.. (Under proposed legislation they are exempt.)
Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go to his Website and sign his petition. The process is very simple. I have done just that at:
http://fleming.house.gov/index.html
Senator Coburn and Congressman Fleming are both physicians. Regardless of your political beliefs, it sure seems reasonable that Congress should have exactly the same medical coverage that they impose on the rest of us.
Let's make this go viral, folks!!! Please urge as many people as you can to do the same!
Thanks Doc.
Tom Coburn is a good guy. Honorable.
Pamela is a one woman power house. If you don't know her, get thee to her blog Atlas Shruggs.
For those of you from so-called "fly over country", consider Pamela your woman in New York Times reading,
NPR listening, latte lapping lefty Manhattan.
Doc,
Your link doesn't work.
Must go back further, at least to 2002. Remember, Thee Won first came out as a "rising star" in 2004, when he had 5 years less "experience" than he does now, and prescient people were saying wow, he could be … president! They already had a plan. They were getting incumbents in place already, and getting the DNC stacked and so on, so that when 2008 came along they were able to launch him.
What do we live in, a banana republic? I question the total validity of the 2008 elections after all of this ACORN mess is starting to come to light. I think we should have a re-do. I’m happy to see that Ms. Geller is posting articles here at Big Government. I used to post on Little Green Footballs and don’t anymore partly due to Charles Johnson’s treatment of Ms. Gellar and her website. Plus Johnson’s showing his true colors now and I cannot stand to go there anymore. As to Ms. Mohammad I salute you for your courage in coming forward and telling your story. ACORN needs to be brought up on Federal charges for voter fraud as well as the numerous RICO charges. Keep up the great work BG and Pam Gellar!
Thanks for the link, it was quick and easy.
I'm from Jacksonville and this area does have a good bit of black republicans. Because of the Bible Belt, many traditional blacks have a real problem with the left's social agenda, i.e. gay marriage, abortion, etc. I checked into this a few weeks ago. ACORN is no longer operating in this city in any official capacity. Their website, part of myflorida.gov, was hacked and never reconstituted. However, in that website were some nice pictures of our cowardly "republican" governor, Charlie Crist. ACORN doesn't have anywhere near the support down here that they do in the big cities, except of course, for Corrine Brown's retarded @$$. Be that as it may, this really should call into question any election in which ACORN participated. Unfortunately, they won't be; but, future elections can and should be saved.
I read once that the "Black Republican Conservatives" , which there are many, are much too afraid to speak up. They are physically intergrated with the black obama supporters and fear for their lives and personal property. A very sad thing.
Little green Footballs and Charlie Johnson is a joke. Apparently he is a little man with a king sized ego and a small tool who can't tolerate being bested by a woman with brains.
Not surprised. In Florida we're used to folks from up North coming down here and taking over like mobsters. Even the suburbanites fleeing New Jersey show up here all full of themselves and their laughable concept of their own elitism. . . and proceed to tell everyone around them– loudly– how wrong we all are, how stupid, how provincial. It's not a color thing, it's a power-play.
It's mostly harmless fun to watch, but not when they are suborning the electorate. That makes us mad enough to no longer help them properly identify the snakes, spiders, roaches, scorpions, fire ants, and possums they keep finding in their house.
Bless their hearts. . .
.
Thank you for having the courage to stand up, Fathiyyah. You deserve a medal of courage. True Great American.
Proud of you…………………..
This raises questions of Obama's rigged election. I believe they steered the outcome of the election in those normally red states (Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio).
I agree.If election fraud really starts getting investigated it could go back to the beginnings of Acorn.And you can throw the SEIU labor union as well.Obama,his administration and the democrats are so deeply entrenched with these organisations it'll be interesting to see what if anything happens with these investigations.
In the beginning of 2008, a CIA official said that the elections will be rigged by hard technology. The information was posted in a blog and at that time seemed rather conspiratorial to all people although I had no doubt in my mind. Therefore, if we are to believe this then we cannot prove fraud because there will be no records to substantiate this fraud perpetuated on our country.
What is the correct year? Some articles are reporting February 2008 and others 2009
If it was 2008, this can effect the entire 2008 elections
This is sort of strangely worded…if this is going to go national, or if she continues to tell this story, she needs to clarify this:
She went to work: “Well, I went out and got a lot of people, homeless people, but of course I signed everybody up as a Republican, and I would have put people had they been Democrats.” She was not forcing people to sign up as Republicans: “You could put down anything you wanted.”
The way this is written, if you read only her words and not the story's author's words, it almost sounds like she was the one checking "Republican" on the registrations. And you can easily take the first sentence out of context: "I signed everybody up as a Republican", which the opposition will certainly do.
Excellent story. GJ by the reporter.
Eric Holder is holding a Press Conference in Chicago. He is getting tough and taking on gang violence. He requested 24 million in the budget to combat gangland violence. There you have it, another 24 million into the inner city sewers.
At this rate, Holder will be on the ACORN case in about 2013……….
This country took a bath in a dirty gas station toilet bowl.
sirs:
i am a regular reader of pamela geller at atlasshrugs2000, dropping in 2 or 3 times a day i would suppose.
she has my great respect, for the things she covers and the stories she has developed on her own. she has my great admiration for an incredible work ethic, truly being the chief cook and bottle washer at her blog. and, i am in awe of the courage of her conviction: she writes what she believes, and if she believes in a story or a cause or a person she will write in the support of same without regard to any adverse consequence to her.
(to be continued)
(continued — jjay)
she has been a constant thorn in barack obama's side, exposing his relationship to mr. odinga in kenya, to ayers and assorted radical leftist in the united states, and broke the story on his election campaign community's fund raising fraud. she has been at the absolute forefront of the fight against islamic honor killings in this country, and her coverage of the murders of sara and amina said, and aqsa parvez, and now of the precedent setting conflict of law case in florida and ohio involving rifqa bary.
but, laudable as these things are, that is not the main reason i read her. i will tell you what that reason is.–
pamela never looses sight of the impact that all of the currents of the news and the events of the day has upon individuals. her best stories, the one she digs up by the dint of the sweat of her brow, always cover the human cost and the human impact of things, always with a focus upon the individual.
(to be continued)
(conclusion)
just as the story you have published here.
i regard her as a major spokesman for the conservative movement in america. she is fearless and resolute in her advancement of that cause. and, perhaps most importantly from your standpoint, she writes a moving and compelling story line, doesn't she.
i hope you have her back. i know that she is happy to be here, and respects this journal very much. i think this blog would benefit by a relationship with her.
after all, she got me here, and made me a reader. how good is that?
and, may i add, she attracts a very literate, vocal and may i say, learned, readership where ever she goes. she is that good. simply put.

Thank God for people like Fatiyyah Muhammad, James O'Keefe, Hanna Giles, and countless others who have stepped forward to expose this Corupt organization for what it really is! A Corupt Organization!
I think all States should pass a resolution or bill in their state that if a person has been registered to vote since 1995, they should be required to do their registration over. I would have no problem with doing it!
The article lost all credibility to me, when Fathiyyah Muhammad said she went out and registered Homeless people. Also, what were the reasons she voted for Obama, having only ever voted for Republicans since JFK. This is not a good example of Acorn corruption but really an example of poor judgement for $3 a pop. I am no Acorn supporter, and want to see the organization brought down.

John,
Thank you. I respect what you wrote about Pamela Geller. She would be a welcome asset here. So would you.
Not ACORN related, but I know for a fact that one vote in NC was a fraud. Before the elections, in plenty of time to prevent the fraud, I informed NC by email that a TN resident was planning to vote illegally in NC. The board ignored multiple emails from me. I finally got a wishy-washy non-apology after the election, when it was too late. I'm not so much disappointed in the one fraudulent vote as in the complete lack of action to prevent of voter fraud by the NC elections board.
Talk about courage. Reminds me of the first black secretary of state and all of the incredible praise lavished toward a truly historical moment in America.
"Uncle Tom!" "Traitor!" "Sell out!"
Shame shame shame. Liberal hypocrisy, indifference and ignorance is imploding. Justice?
it was Lucifer who first postulated 'any means to an end'…
Being an equal opportunity landlord, he allows both the good- and the bad. And, with his 'gift' of freewill he has given us the rope in which to hang ourselves by betraying the goodness that lies within all of us in exchange fo earthly pleasures.
Fleeting ones at that.
So, his adherents on Earth (Marxists and other assorted evildoers) are inculcating folk with the 'any means to an end' philosophy accentuated by his house of worship the United Nations. (no joke, they have tributes to Lucifer in their philosophy not to mention the 'Lucis Trust'- formerly LUCIFER Trust publishes all of their publications) And poor dummies like ACORN unwittingly pray to God while serving Luciferian interests.
If this wasn't true it would be absolutely ridiculous…
Thank you for coming forward Fatiyyah Muhammad, honesty is honorable, the good people will stand behind you whether democrat or republican or independent. You believe in the truth and now you are on my heroes list (not that that is a big deal to you) but Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Oh, c'mon. I keed, I keed.
Most black people have a connection to Christianity and are not in favor of discarding unborn children, and the Democrats do. I will be that many would vote for traditional candidates. I think Obama got the black vote this time only because he is half black and touted that during his campaign.
This Acorn criminal enterprise reminds me of the novel, Oliver Twist. Wade Rathke and his brother are present day Fagins, who get the down and outs, the homeless and helpless and send them out to do Fagin's dirty deeds. It's a disgrace. The people arrested and hog-tied should be the Rathke brothers and who knows how many others.
The most virulent racism is aimed at Black Conservatives. Period.
The most virulent racism is aimed at Black Conservatives – by The Left. Period.
We need to change the law so that EVERY voter who shows up at the polls to vote shows birth certificate, naturalization papers or passport along with a picture ID to prove they are qualified. The roles need to be purged of dead people, non-citizens, and non-existing made up names.
Here's hoping that Marco Rubio takes the primary away from Crist. He's ahead in poll after poll among Republicans. He just closed on a million dollars in donations too.
There are Tea Party folks down here in Florida working hard to expose voting records and vett candidates. If you have extra time volunteer and give them a hand. The GOP will be reformed at the grassroots, folks.
Amen, Joan, Amen.

Dang Eric that was fast …. How about investigating ACORN? How about illegals coming in over the border? How about Charlie Rangel tax fraud?
This si what amazes me … what have the majority of blacks received by voting Democrat? What?
Crime, poverty, uneducated. Why can't they see that it's the Democratic party taht keeps them down and segregated?
Very glad this woman came out with her story…Though it was already a known fact that ACORN would never allow a republican voter anywhere near them…
They get subsidized free housing, free medical, free cheese and most imoprtantly of all, they get Al & Jessee.
Thats priceless!
Thanks for the like Dr Cathy. I just signed the petition. Seems like I've been signing a lot of them lately. Let's keep the pressure on!
PLEASE don't even bring up the thoat of this administration lasting past 2012.
Don't forget…they get all that yummy "gub'mint cheese" too.
Thank the Lord there are witnesses may she be protected.
I still recall the 912 marcher, a black lady, with a Tshirt that had MLK on it and said "MLK was a REPUBLICAN".
Heh, how soon we all forget.
As in Iraq the broad spectrum problems in the American black community are ultimately up to the locals to correct. We outsiders may be able to help in some way and defending them from violent attack is foremost especially given the well documented fraud enforced with thuggery by the SEIU, Obama for America, the New Black Panther Party, ACORN and the other numberless tentacles of the Obama leviathan. But for the most part we can only look in from the outside. Folks need to stand up and hollah! See, only black folks can do that, even in print.

Yes
No
Please everyone, get your Representative to VOTE for House Resolution 615
Per Congressman Fleming…
Over the past few weeks, members of Congress and the American people have come to know the details of the Administration's proposed health care plan. Call it whatever you like, I believe this proposal is nothing more than government-run health care. As a physician, I am amazed at the number of bureaucrats in this House who are quick to claim a government-run health care plan is the reform this country needs. In response to this, I have offered a resolution that will offer members of Congress an opportunity to put their money where their mouth is, and urge their colleagues who vote for legislation creating a government-run health care plan to lead by example and enroll themselves in the same public plan.
Under the current draft of the Democrat healthcare legislation, members of Congress are curiously exempt from the government-run health care option, keeping their existing health plans and services on Capitol Hill. If Members of Congress believe so strongly that government-run health care is the best solution for hard working American families, I think it only fitting that Americans see them lead the way. Public servants should always be accountable and responsible for what they are advocating.
Together we will work to ensure that any plan that is good enough for American families is good enough for every member of Congress.

Not all northerners, who come down to live in Florida, are damned liberals, you know.
God bless Fathiyyah Muhammad for telling America about her dealings with ACORN. No government funded organization, regardless of what the funds were intended for, should not be permitted to filter out or falsify registrations or coerce those registering into misrepresenting their political point of view.
While party affiliation is not necessarily a concern, the idea that these people thought they were registered and may have been denied the right to vote because their registration was thrown away is very upsetting. This would indeed be a criminal matter if it should be found they denied these people a constitutional right by impeding the registration process. In my mind this goes well beyond something like tampering with U.S. mail which is a felony. Any person caught tampering with the voting and registration process should be punished and any organization that condones of such behavior should be investigated and prosecuted.
I'm hoping this next election cycle we have some brave people do like Jason and Hannah and scour the major cities for groups claiming to be registering voters and expose any impropriety. They cannot be allowed to sway the vote even slightly. Similarly no such groups should be allowed to finance any litigation that could potentially affect the outcome of a race such as in the case of Barney Frank.

It's amazing how this organization has corruption to the core exposed time in and time out., and yet they can stand there on television and say they are the victims of a witch-hunt.
Does anyone know when the next tapes are going to be coming out? I'm sure the recent lawsuit has put things on hold for a bit.

Anly in America could an organization tasked with getting out the vote, throw Republican registrations away. [...]
I signed the petition and passed the info on to my email list.
Good point. Somehow it only perpetuates our belief that ACORN completely disregards facts/rules. She signed up people as "Republicans" the other workers signed them up as "Democrats." The homeless they were signing up probably didn't care. Funny how only the "republican" ones got thrown out though. I think this is the point.
dumb black whore
The Liberal Fascist Militants on the left now have new jargon.They are revising the old Jim Crow stigma, and referring to people as James Crow Jr Esquire; and Jennfifer Crow M.D. A true sign of the times.
"didn’t pay me anything and I just left, I just figured that this is just another scam"
How right she is! ACORN is one big scam. I told my husband on election night that I did not believe for one minute that Obama won this election fair and square, my words are coming back to haunt me. I just knew something wasn't right.
WOW!! Makes you think
Even though she voted for Obama, I still loves me some Fatiyyah Muhammad! You go, girl!
Pamela did it again .Atlas is "da blog"
Glad to see the story picked up here.
ACORN needs to be exposed for the racket they are and the radical left America haters who are one door away from the center of power in Washington thanks to a media refusing to vet a candidate in 2008.
Of course they throw out the Republican registrations….ACORN is a KNOWN partisan organization. Which is why they shouldnt have been given any tax dollars to begin with. Everybody knows they are left wing.
The last two elections were thrown by Acorn, the rat bastards!
I don't buy it. I know ACORN's scum, but I don't think it's productive or helpful to jump every time someone says they have a story to tell. Conveniently, since she wasn't even paid and all the registrations were thrown out, there's absolutely no proof she ever did a thing for ACORN.
This is exactly the kind of story that'll get everyone all riled up, go nowhere and then make everyone look like they're hysterics waiting for something to become hysterical about.
I don't read Pamela Geller's blog and I won't in the future if this the depth of the 'investigative journalism' she's got going on.
And just to be clear, I am totally anti-ACORN. But it won't be a good thing if conservatives spend all their outrage on unsupportable stories like this one.
It should be quite obvious.
ACORN= Nuts…….they help Democrats, I.E. “nuts” get elected
Who would we complain to? The DOJ run by the shill Eric Holder? Is the Democratically held Congress going to launch one of their famous investigations? I think not. Sorry to sound like an ass, but there is no one left to complain to. They were replaced with Obamas minions.
Love Pam Geller and her thread at Atlas Shrugged. She is always out front, taking the heat. Would love to see more of her here. She is always correct in her assessments.
Fathiyyah Muhammad is a real hero, to stand up and tell the truth. I would love to see a parade of Black Republican Conservatives stand up and tell their stories. I have always believed they were out there. It will only take a few to break the silence. Bertha Lewis is like the little Dutch Boy, plugging the leaky dyke with his finger. She is about to get hit by a Tsunami.
Excellent, Pamela, Breitbart should read your blog!!! You have been on it a long time:)
Why am I not shocked? These people in ACORN et all are the scum of the earth. I would LMAO if the chief community organizer is somehow exposed by the time all this runs it's corse.
"Judge me by the people I associate with." Hey NO-Bama…..WE DO !
Pamela, Thank You for the story. Each piece when placed will eventually complete the puzzle !
The growing exposure is bringing the corruption out of the hidden veins channeling the lawlessness!!!! Where will the upstream travels take the insatiably curious!!!! Honesty is still a virtue in many, Fatiyyah Muhammad is no exception!!!

well, reading the comments, I saw a good point- is there any way to prove what Ms. Muhammad is saying is true.
Because I saw no proof. I don't doubt it personally but it would be nice if there was proof. Acorn has continually been PROVEN corrupt and this would be a nice chip in the ante- but was it proven? I give Ms. Muhammad kudos for coming forward, but just hope she has proof- cause with the vicious people in politics- she is going to need it!

I can see the appeal of Conservative Republicans choosing Obama over McCain who offered Conservatives nothing but a Mexican Socialist invasion.
I mean what difference would it have made? Would Pelosi & Reid's agenda be any different with McCain?
Thank you for being brave and sharing your story Fathiyyah Muhammad. I'm sure that since Acorn was pushing our last election nation wide that this in no way can be an isolated incident. Funny that Obama will not even acknowledge how crooked acorn is, we all know he was one of there lawyers. We also know they pushed his election very hard (which is illegal for anyone who is getting federal funding). Everything thats going on in OUR nation right now is so scary. I really fear that what we've caught our "ELECTED" officials doing in the last 6 months is just the tip of the iceburg. And, I also think the worst is yet to come stay alert and make your voice be heard.
I too hope they can include Obama as one of the "ACORN" people and get him out of there. He bragged about being a lawyer for them and being connected with them all during his "working". There is a real fear of where he is trying to take America -it's not good.
Just a minute – when was party affiliation part of a voter registration card? If that's a checkbox in Florida, that nees to change.
I’am sure the situation is not as simple as it sounds. first it sems odd that every one elsegot paid, that at least a few of those registrations were republican. second, why make such a fuss there if the forms could have been easily discarded later, without witness or hubub. it seems more likely that the forms were thought to be fraudalent because of overwhelming republican percentage and thus rejected. if the goal was not to get republican registrations, than why make the comment that there are no black republicans? this story seems highly falsefied, exxagerated and dubious.
ACORN IS OBAMA, OBAMA IS ACORN!
It makes me sad and angry that so many well intentioned people are used to promote our governments agenda. Thank goodness this lady spoke the truth. The part that is most disturbing to me is she so readily accepted it another scam. The bleeding heart liberals in this country need heart transplants. There is nothing worse than thinking that Obama used this organization, and others, for self-serving gain. I do not like having a President who has no thought for others. It frightens me . Not acceptable for our America. No way!
This woman is no heroine and certainly not a Great American!! She VOTED for Obama! And she will again in 2012. "She is an entrepreneur"…right… and so are the other 19 homeless winos that were to get $3 a head for voter registration.
Am I too cynical or just grumpy as hell this early in the morning?
Great article, Pam.
We have given these crooks more than $53 million dollars-What a scam!!!
On another blog, written by guys that worked for Hillary, saw the corruption in Iowa. Yesterday they said they believe more corruption will be coming forward on this. They also said many ACORN workers are being fired or laid off, and they are going to start talking!
You cannot help but wonder, if Obama actually won the 2008 election!
I dunno . A Black Muslim Republican? Every registration she brought back was Republican in an African American area? Something doesn't sound legit here.
I'm proud of this lady for standing up. But I do want to know why she voted for Obama if she's only voted Republican for 40 years. Hmmmmm.
Behind a truth told is a noble person. THANK YOU Fatiyyah Muhammad, for standing up and telling the world your story. Now we all know how Obama got elected. I wonder how many Republicans went to vote thinking they were registered and found that they weren't because ACORN did not turn in their voter registration. Let them ALL come forward to tell the truth. You will probably hear a lot of this: "ACORN registered me to vote. I went to the polls to vote and was turned away being told I was not on the voter registration list." How sad. Let us all make sure those we come in contact with are registered to vote in the upcoming elections.
I'm a former Jacksonville, Florida resident, and there are elements of this story I don't quite get. One of the things Dems have a problem with, is that Florida doesn't issue a voter registration card as soon as you sign up. Rather, they mail it to your house, or apartment, or whatever. So, what would be the point in trying to sign up homeless people? Also, Florida performs at least some due diligence, checking prospective voters against various state databases – driver licenses, tax rolls, utility records, etc. – to try to prevent phony voter registrations. If they can't verify that you are an actual Florida resident, no voter registration is issued. Of course, ACORN still tries: the current indictment against ACORN (for voter fraud) in Florida specified 888 phony registrations, including Paul Newman. This, in spite of the fact that: 1) Paul Newman is not a legal resident of Florida, and 2) he is, in fact, dead.
The ACORN representative apparently believes that black voters aren't intelligent enough to have their own political opinions and affiliations. VERY revealing.
Does that mean ACORN is only willing to serve a community of sheep?
Are you really so naive as to believe Republicans don't do this also? Granted, it does not excuse Acorn, but all this feigned outrage – please!
Detest Pam Geller and her thread linking her to Atlas Shrugged, which is a book of Libertarian philosophy – which this lady is definitely NOT! Can't imagine why she chose this name for her website other than trying to take advantage of a popular Libertarian movement. She'd probably be more comfortable with the Hagees. I checked her out and it seemed to me to be just another fringe right-wing, warmonger propaganda page; a total waste of time. I'm looking for truth on both sides of the isle – not more Hannity, et al.

Not sure I believe this woman. She calls herself a "black conservative Republican" but she voted for Obama? If she really is a conservative how could she have voted for Obama? I think ACORN has done what she is accusing them of doing but I think she may just be trying to get attention for herself and in doing so defeating the case against ACORN if it's found out she "stretched" the truth in her case.
Ain't that the truth…wish they'd leave their politics back up north….
New Yorkers are prone to believe everyone else owes them something whether you know it or not. May the Lord have mercy on the rest of us.

Swine Flu Martial Law Bill Clears Massachusetts Senate
Posted April 29th, 2009 by sharpsteve
It took corporate media swine flu hysteria to ram through a martial law bill in Massachusetts. S18 gives the Governor the power to authorize the deployment and use of force to distribute supplies and materials and local authorities will be allowed to enter private residences for investigation and to quarantine individuals.
http://www.infowars.com/s...
The bill specifically mandates the following:
(1) to require the owner or occupier of premises to permit entry into and investigation of the premises;
(2) to close, direct, and compel the evacuation of, or to decontaminate or cause to be decontaminated any building or facility, and to allow the reopening of the building or facility when the danger has ended;
(3) to decontaminate or cause to be decontaminated, or to destroy any material;
(4) to restrict or prohibit assemblages of persons;
(5) to require a health care facility to provide services or the use of its facility, or to transfer the management and supervision of the health care facility to the department or to a local public health authority;
http://www.mass.gov/legis...
The Associated Press reports:
The Massachusetts Senate has unanimously passed a pandemic flu preparation bill that has languished in the Legislature before the recent swine flu outbreak.
The 36-0 vote today sends the measure to the House. Both branches have taken it up in past years, but have not been able to agree on the details.
The new Senate version would allow the public health commissioner — in a public health emergency — to close or evacuate buildings, enter private property for investigations, and quarantine individuals.

They got it passed just in time for this:

Doesn't it make you wonder if Obama was actually "elected?"
No. I know he was elected. But it was by people who were tricked into voting for him by our dishonest media.
However, the antidote to dishonesty is honesty and this article is so lacking in any provable fact it may as well have been written by Dana "I heard someone say Kill Him" Milbank.
How about some follow up with some facts? Others who can corroborate? There are plenty of reasons to shut ACORN down that are provable. Reporting what basically amounts to gossip as a news story doesn't become this site.
I say that if anyone needs some custom caps done, let's support her!
The ACORN representative apparently believes that black voters aren't intelligent enough to have their own individual political opinions and affiliations. VERY revealing.
Does that mean ACORN is only willing to serve a community of sheep? How condescending…how INSULTING to the entire black community, and each and every black person out there.
ref: “So I (Fathiyyah Muhammad) showed what I had, and he (ACORN rep) said, 'No, no, you a fraud, there can’t be any black Republicans'…"
It's time for a do over election.
I hope ACORN gets shamed into oblivion.
Hobbes,
Please don't let this one item discredit her statements.
I personally know several fairly conservative republicans that voted for Obama. Their rationale was he promised "change", while promising to protect things like the individual right of a person in the US to bear arms AND they honestly thought McCain was a worse choice. They didn't like what Bush and Congress had done and were doing to the US Constitution and latched onto Obama based on his APPARENT promises (e.g. he'd have the most transparent administration in history), even though a number of his promises directly contradicted positions he strongly held his entire political career (e.g. he and his associates favor a total gun ban, and they consider the US Constitution (along with the Bill of Rights) as obsolete and inapplicable to today's social and political "realities").

Hobbes said "Not sure I believe this woman. She calls herself a "black conservative Republican" but she voted for Obama? If she really is a conservative how could she have voted for Obama?"
The original head of ACORN left in 2008 & his Brother has been indited for embezzling money from ACORN's public funds. Birds of a feather- -
I registered to vote in the summer of 2004: I filled in a registration form from people claiming to be from Acorn. My form was never submitted. When I realized that time was running out and I still had not voter's card, I registered in person at the country clerk's office, which confirmed that I was not registered. I filled the form at the office, choosing a party affiliation.The ID card I received a month later claimed I did not state a party affiliation, preventing me from voting in the primary election. I later learned that it was well known that the Democratic County Clerk was prone to such 'clerical errors.' I seriously doubt my experience was unique.
jukin,
Excellent question! Ask Obama's appointee US Attorney General Eric Holder….
Holder was also a senior legal adviser for Obama's presidential campaign.
According to reports, the Obama campaign paid ACORN $800,000 via ACORN's financial organization "Citizen Services, Inc". That contract work was ORIGINALLY listed in FEC finance reports for partisan "polling, advance work and staging major events". AFTER the ACORN voter fraud issues started popping-up, it was amended to be for non-partisan "get-out-the-vote projects".
Coincidence?

Everyone needs to copy this article and go to http://www.cnn.com and go to the ticker page and click on new news or news tip and report it. I do it all the time. If enough of us did this maybe they would get the message. I do it to ABC, MSNBC also. Why should we let them act like they don't know anything about it?

Since it involved contracts totaling almost one million dollars, as an Obama campaign senior legal advisor it would be expected that Holder knows most if not all the contract details.
Coincidence?

It simply boils down to being wrong and criminal; the folks at Acorn that participated in these get out the vote projects that didn’t follow the rule of law should all be punished to the full extent. We need to look at all of the money we’re spending on these types of activies and stop all of the funding immediately.
"…there can't be any black Republicans…"
Spoken like a true bigot.
As for Ms. Fathiyyah being stiffed for the $3/head, that's why God invented small claims court.
.
We are doomed.
So who is REALLY going to investigate ACORN? Nobody will take it seriously in this administration, especially since Obama is one of them.
If you arrived at the polling place thinking that you had registered and found out that you weren't wouldn't you raise holy hell? This story should have come out on election day. Something is very wrong with this tale of wrong doning by Acorn. In other words it makes no sense.
In some precincts, if you have lost or weren't issued your voter card, you can use alternate ID.
FIND OUT WHAT THESE ARE for your precinct, and be prepared by taking them with you when you go to vote.
For example, in my precinct they accept a DL or State ID card, AND an alternate document that shows your "residency" status (usually a bill that shows your address and that you have been paying "utilities" there). This is sometimes an electric bill, water bill, apartment payment receipts, cable bill, etc. This can change from precinct to precinct so be sure to do your research ahead of time.

Democratic Party – Democratic Reform Party
As Democrats of the Democratic Party, we join together in seeking reform within the Democratic Party.
Many Democrats already know their pleas are only being answered by repeated insult and injury by their elected representatives within the Democratic Party. Despite this, we as Democrats can restore control of the Democratic Party back to the party members. All we need to do is cut off donations to the local, state, and national headquarters of the Democratic Party, and to make sure the donations are made directly to worthy and honorable Democratic Party candidates.
So spread the message to everyone of our fellow Democrats, for the Democrat members are taking back control of the Democratic Party. Also, please don't forget to contact and request the Unions and other outside contributors to follow our lead as patriotic Americans. Thank you!
