Vote No for ACORN


Word is spreading, thank goodness: A vote for a candidate running on the Working Families Party line is a vote for ACORN, or maybe a few votes for ACORN.

That's not a big surprise, because the Working Families Party, which likes to call itself WFP, was co-founded by ACORN and union interests, shared the same Brooklyn, NY office and staff, and even shared Bertha Lewis, who is both the "Chief Organizer" of ACORN and Co-Chair of the Working Families Party.

Expect the Working Families Party to demonstrate the same level of respect for law as ACORN shows. For example, just a few weeks ago, in Troy, NY, the Working Families Party handed in fraudulent absentee ballots signed with the forged signatures of real people.

Many of the questionable ballots were filed under the names of students and people who live in government-subsidized housing and other downtown areas. Still others were submitted on behalf of voters who were alleged to have signed the ballots earlier this month, but those people have not lived in New York state for at least a year, records show.

The object of the fraud: to ensure that the WFP got on the line in Rensselaer County voting booths this coming November 3 in order to "tip" the election to the Democrats. (Working Family Party votes would have been added to Democrat votes.) According to the lawyer of one of the candidates, "the fraud was carried out by 'individuals associated and working with the Democratic candidates ... they are working to get the WFP lines for their candidates in the general election.'"

Documents at the county Board of Elections show the fraudulent ballots were handled by or prepared on behalf of various elected officials and leaders and operatives for the Democratic and Working Families parties. [From the Times Union via Moonbattery at The News Factor.]

ACORN is getting their hooks into all kinds of politicians in New York State these days.

Remember the handful of Senators who voted to keep funding ACORN even after the Giles/O'Keefe videos captured ACORN Housing staff members helping a young man and woman set up a child prostitution business? One of those was Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat/Working Families Party candidate who masqueraded as a conservative until she got her Senate seat and then, overnight, morphed into one of the 20 most liberal politicians in the U.S. Senate. ACORN told her which side of her bread holds the butter: more than half of the people who handed her a margin of victory pulled the lever for Gillibrand on the WFP line, the same line that WFP was entering fraudulent ballots to the Rensselear County Election Board to procure.

In the special election for the seat in New York's 23rd Congressional District, Working Family Republican Dede Scozzafava has been taking heat for her liberal positions that have won her WFP support, which translates into paid workers shipped in from New York City who go door-to-door for the candidate, not to mention her goofy campaign decisions, like calling the cops on a mild-mannered reporter for asking a tough question and holding a press conference in front of her opponent's headquarters.

According to The Jawa Report, Scozzafava supports the Obama stimulus, abortion in all cases, card check, morning after pills for teens (no prescription needed), same-sex marriage, more laws banning discrimination against gays, and more laws creating more "hate crimes." On the other hand, she is against secret ballots in union elections, doesn't want kids to be able to attend private schools, is opposed to testing and merit pay for teachers, and won't go near a "no pork" pledge with a ten-foot pole.

Obama is personally raising money in New York to crush her opponent, Doug Hoffman, a career accountant and stand-up guy who is against higher taxes, pork, abortion, and same-sex marriage and for secret ballots and school choice. Hoffman's reaction: "Isn't that amazing? Little old me. The president has to come in and try to beat me."

In defying the Democrat/WFP/Acorn coalition, Hoffman has attracted the attention not only of the president, but also of Glenn Beck and Marc Levin, both of whom interviewed him on their radio shows yesterday. Much of America learned Hoffman's name today, as well as place to send money: doughoffmanforcongress.com.

This obviously will be a very influential race. If New York State can tell ACORN where to go in this election, some Congressional Democrats may stop greasing the skids on this country's wild ride toward what William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection calls "the biggest, baddest hurt."
