ACORN: GUILTY!
Aug 21st, 2009 by Mark
Obama supporter ACORN has more trouble on it’s hands. The group is known for election fraud and manufactured outrage.
Nevada field director Christopher Edwards convicted of violation of election laws.
A high-ranking official at the taxpayer-funded leftist group that conducts fraudulent voter registration drives has pleaded guilty to conspiracy for organizing a scheme that illegally paid workers to register new voters.
As a Nevada field director for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), Christopher Edwards paid canvassers—many of them “lazy crack heads”—to register new voters for the 2008 presidential election. He also set illegal quotas of at least 20 voters a day for canvassers to keep their job and offered an additional $5 for registering 21 or more.
ACORN’s shady quota system is illegal in Nevada as well as most states and the Chicago-based community group with strong ties to President Obama faces criminal charges across the nation. As part of Edwards’ guilty plea, he is cooperating with authorities and will testify against several high-ranking ACORN regional officials.
ACORN will no doubt claim they had no knowledge (a lie) of his actions, and that it was an employee, so they have no responsibility in the matter. Yes, they actually believe they have not responsibility to monitor or manage their employees.
It is not a Nevada only issue. The Obama administration has blocked all efforts to investigate ACORN in 13 states, by the Justice Department.
They are slated to do the census in 2010, as well. I wonder if they pay people to get illegal aliens to take the census? I would bet good money, they already have a plan.
