WILL YOU GIVE YOUR INFORMATION TO ACORN?

Title click to read article on ROTTEN ACORN website.

"ACORN returned to the national spotlight during the 2008 election when its employees turned in fraudulent voter registration files, including listing the Dallas Cowboys’ starting lineup as voters in Nevada. This blatant attempt at fraud led authorities to raid ACORN’s offices in the state. Not to be outdone, ACORN canvassers in Florida actually attempted to turn in forms registering Mickey Mouse as a voter. And ACORN managed to register a seven-year old girl to vote in Connecticut. The list goes on.

Nation-wide investigations into ACORN’s role in voter fraud have yielded dozens of indictments. Nevada recently charged ACORN with 26 counts of voter registration fraud and 13 counts of illegally compensating canvassers. In Pennsylvania, seven Pittsburgh-area ACORN employees were charged with falsifying voter registration forms. Six of them were accused of doing so to meet an illegal quota system."

2008

Prosecutors are investigating more than 1,100 ACORN-submitted voter registration cards after a county clerk found them to be fraudulent. Many of the cards included duplicate names and slightly altered personal information.

2005	Four ACORN employees submitted as many as 3,000 potentially fraudulent signatures on the group’s Albuquerque ballot initiative. A local sheriff added: “It’s safe to say the forgery was widespread.”

2004	An ACORN employee registered a 13-year-old boy to vote. Citing this and other examples, New Mexico State Representative Joe Thompson stated that ACORN was “manufacturing voters” throughout New Mexico.

2004	A Florida Department of Law Enforcement spokesman said ACORN was “singled out” among suspected voter registration groups for a 2004 wage initiative because it was “the common thread” in the agency’s fraud investigations.

ORF says there is on going concern about non-profit community organizations like ACORN conducting the 2010 census.

ORF has provided the Otero County Commissioners with a suggested county ordinance:

SUGGESTION FOR A COUNTY ORDINANCE REQUIRING CENSUS TAKERS NOT FROM OTERO COUNTY TO REGISTER WITH THE COUNTY AND BE SUBJECT TO A CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK.

Get behind this suggested county ordinance by contacting the Otero County Commissioners and asking that they vote YES on this before the 2010 census.
