Relentlessly Pursued by ACORN, One Guy Registered to Vote 72 Times
By Uppity Woman on October 9, 2008 at 5:15 PM in ACORN, Bamboozling, Barack Obama, Voter Fraud
Updates by SusanUnPC via Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey and a Fox News video:
Congressional Republicans have finally demanded an end to federal funding for ACORN after more than a dozen states have opened investigations into fraud in their voter-registration efforts. House Minority Leader John Boehner has not only called to end that funding for ACORN but also for all federal candidates to stop contracting with ACORN while investigations continue into their business practices. … (Read all.)
Ok I’m bordering on laughter now.
Somebody needs to shut down this scammed election process immediately and hold everything until ACORN and Barack Obama are investigated for conspiring to fix an election. This is a matter of National Security.
Hey, what do you expect from Obama. Not only does he have no respect for Democracy, he fixed the primaries, so he just thinks he can Chicago-Thug his way to a rigged Presidency too.
We already know he trained “Project Vote” people where it all got started in Chicago. There is no sense of denying it. It’s on his own damned resume. We already know he gave ACORN money and made a “mistake” on his FEC filings. What does our government need, a telephone poll on its head to know this election process has been corrupted beyond salvation?
This is getting so transparent it’s downright felonious–if not treasonous. Somebody belongs in the slammer holding a very wet bar of soap this very moment.
I will be updating this post as soon as I find a link to FOX’s story of ACORN hiring 59 convicted felons to help with their voter drive.
Meanwhile, Here’s a story of habitual voter registration fraud:
CLEVELAND - Two Ohio voters, including Domino’s pizza worker Christopher Barkley , claimed yesterday that they were hounded by the community-activist group ACORN to register to vote several times, even though they made it clear they’d already signed up.
Barkley estimated he’d registered to vote “10 to 15″ times after canvassers for ACORN, whose political wing has endorsed Barack Obama, relentlessly pursued him and others.
Claims such as his have sparked election officials to probe ACORN.
“I kept getting approached by folks who asked me to register,” Barkley said. “They’d ask me if I was registered. I’d say yes, and they’d ask me to do it [register] again.
”Some of them were getting paid to collect names. That was their sob story, and I bought it,” he said.
Barkley is one of at least three people who have been subpoenaed by the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections as part of a wider inquiry into possible voter fraud by ACORN. The group seeks to register low-income voters, who skew overwhelmingly Democratic.
“You can tell them you’re-registered as many times as you want — they do not care,” said Lateala Goins, 21, who was subpoenaed.
“They will follow you to the buses, they will follow you home, it does not matter,” she told The Post.
She added that she never put down an address on any of the registration forms, just her name.
A third subpoenaed voter, Freddie Johnson, 19, filled out registration cards 72 times over 18 months, officials said.
“It feeds the public perception that there could be [fraud], and that makes the pillars fall down,” said local Board of Elections President Jeff Hastings.
Registering under a fake name is illegal. But officials usually catch multiple registrations and toss them.
The major risk of fraud growing out of mass canvassing involves the possibility of ineligible voters filing absentee ballots, and thus avoiding checks at polling places, said Republican National Committee chief counsel Sean Cairncross.
The subpoenas come as Republicans have ramped up criticism of ACORN. Officials in Nevada raided ACORN’s Las Vegas office Tuesday, accusing the group of signing people up multiple times - in some cases under phony names, like those of Dallas Cowboys.
ACORN’s Cleveland spokesman, Kris Harsh, said his group collected 100,000 voter-registration cards; only about 50 were questionable, he claimed.
As for workers, “We watch them like a hawk,” he said.
From my blog, Uppity Woman.
Thanks to reader, catsrclean.
Unless the American people pull their heads outta their asses it will be offical. We will no longer have a Democracy. We will hold show votes so the thugs that manage to strong arm their way into power can say WE WERE ELECTED! Just like the old soviet elections.
I was getting my hair cut today and we were saying the same thing. I said that it feels like we are living in the decline of Democracy and the American Civilization as we know it. Not much hope for people out here.
Nobama!!
STOP HOPE OR CGANGE, AND FIGHT FOR THE BIGGEST INVESTIGATION OF THIS COUNTRY, ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM. HILLARY WON, NOW WE KNOW SHE WON, SHE WAS STRIPP FROM EVERYTHING, AND THEY SPIT ITO HER FACE AND TRASH HER. OBAMA AND HES TRAITORS. I AM SO ANGRY, THAT I CAN THING STRAIT… AND WHAT DNC DID, GIVE THIS GUY WHAT BELONG TO HILLARY “NOMINATION FROM DEMOCRATIC PARTY ,AS CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENCY OF USA. OBAMA SHOULD BE IMPEACH NOW, AND HILLARY SHOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENCY!!!
uh yeah like how Bush fixed his first election???
this is a sad hypocrisy…
Campaign Exposes Shady Side of ACORN
And don’t forget, an awful lot of that campaign funding seems to have been coming from some similarly strange places, and from more fake people — or, even, from cats and dogs??
ROFLOL
PUMA!!
Uppity, good post. As usual. Has NoQ talked about how Wade Ranthke started ACORN and how he was with Bill Ayers and Carl Davidson in the SDS?
READ THIS in case you haven’t already.
Seriously.

Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis
By James Simpson
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/09/barack_obama_and_the_strategy.html
Maybe I should start writing the media:
“Connect the dots before the revolution causes a future civil war.”
Ya think that would work? eh..
Not if anything in the past twenty years is any example…
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/
Good resource for investigative reporting
Re Wade Rathke:
Here’s the scoop on his brother’s embezzling mucho dinero from ACORN back in 2000, and lots more info. Wade Rathke also founded SEIU.
I worked for ACORN for a short period several years ago…
Who wants to buy an authenic ACORN tee shirt?? I’ve got one I don’t think I’ll be wearing anymore.
First? Wow…never been first. Everybody else must still be at Happy Hour. I had a thought about this.
Do you suppose these state investigations into ACORN are Bush’s underground legacy?
This what made me so angry in Ohio about the register to vote and do it the same day. This was a crock that never should have been allowed to happen. As a responsible adult I made sure I registered so I could vote. I felt it was my duty.
All registrations delivered by ACORN should be disavowed and scrubbed from the record.
My right to vote is being manipulated by cheaters. Plain and simple.
Agreed. I got a call from the McCain/Palin campaign this week. The man I talked to told me that they had attorneys working around the clock on it. The web page for volunteers asks if you are an attorney. They are hitting this fraud thing hard. Everyone of us has got to do our part. Even if it is making calls or sending out emails. Copy these links and send them out. Go to another site and post them.
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/5411
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8×9VQ5_Iqzk
Send them the address for this site. Ask them to pass it on.
I’m really bothered that these lower class folks are being registered to vote. I think we need to go back to the days of poll taxes to ensure their kind aren’t allowed in the voting booth.
I think we are headed for another litigated election.
if ever there was a year ripe for it, this is it.
we may not know who the president is until July.
This time I hope the Repubs win. (period)
But I suspect that, unlike the Democrats who rolled over and played dead and let us get stuck with that asshat Bush for eight years, the Republicans will take every case to the end. Oh, the irony.
Its like Castor Oil… taking the stuff is next door to hell, but the alternative…
I’ll take my Castor Oil with a double shot of Irony please…
gulp
OH SPARE ME!!!… this isn’t about Democrat or GOP! It’s about what is right and what is wrong!!! SO DROP the I’M A VICTIM crap! NoBama is a fraud and it’s not hard to figure out that he can’t win on his own so he’ll come up with a PLAN B…..ACORN! I have to say I’m a diehard Democrat (until this year) but I find it INSANE that ANYONE could come in here and defend NoBama or ACORN and think that’s it’s OK because you have an issue with the Republicans! If the Democrats are that damn dumb to lose elections on their own (and believe me they are - hence the last 8 years with Bush) I don’t see how it’s OK (all the sudden) for NoBama to feel it’s his duty to find a way to cheat his way into the WH! He’ll lose because he’s a FRAUD and a NATIONAL SECURITY threat to this Country in his own right!!!
HILLARY DEMOCRAT FOR MCCAIN ‘08!
easy there scott…
nobody is arguing that part… we just find it ironic that its necessary to wait on Republicans to save the day…
Glad they’re there with Indies, Bubba’s et al. We’ll get it done together if we don’t implode out of finger pointing.
It just seems ironic, that’s all.
keep laughing!
Now I know why Daley called off the legal challenges in 2000 — they figured they could just do the same thing, but a lot better. And make it permanent.
Felt funny then, feels real real funny now!
Some DNC guy on Fox a little while ago repeated the lie that 0bama has NO TIES to ACORN - said 0bama never worked for them, was never a lawyer for them.
Fox guy didn’t challenge him on it - at all. What the HELL is going on here?
Apparently it says that on Nobama’s fight the smears page on his web site and people believe it.
Which people? Obama’s kool-aid drinking diehards?
That group will follow Obama into hell, so obviously they’re not going to believe the truth about Obama. Fortunately, that group among Obama’s supporters is small.
It’s the majority of lukewarm Obama supporters (Independents, moderates, etc.) that aren’t going to bother going to his website. They’re the ones that we have to get the truth to before it’s too late.
We must let them know that if Obama gets into the White House that the economy will be the LEAST of their worries. And to let them know that Obama is NOT A CLINTON - he has NO experience in dealing firsthand with a broken economy. Obama will make the economy even worse.
Honestly - do most Americans really want to place the White House and the serious problems America is facing (the war, the economy, the energy crisis) into the hands of a Democrat candidate with even less experience than Bush?
Does the above give anyone nightmares?
UM, I just read all this about Ayers. I WILL be investigating everything before voting !!! I’m an Obama fan, yes, to the max, but all this would put that mark to a stop. I want any and all info on this. Thanks. Judi
I have been watching FOX all day and have noticed that they have been challenging their guests all day. Maybe this guy got past them but I gotta say they have been pretty tough on the obamabots who come on.
I’ve noticed that Fox has been challenging the 0bama propaganda pretty well lately too - but yes, this guy definitely slipped past them.
One reason might be that the host was some guy I’ve never seen before - maybe he was a sub or something. He had kinda dark blond or light brown hair - don’t remember much else about him. At the end of the segment the host was arguing, trying to get a word in edgewise with the totally arrogant and obnoxious DNC guy - and the host did totally diss the a-hole in the end, but I think the ACORN lie came up much earlier, before the host got his bearings.
Is the Whitey tape out yet?
no point
it would be redundant
Crack that baby open, I’m ready to hear and/or see it!
Obama was ACORN’s attorney in at least one case. What do they mean he has no ties?
Get on the ground folks..We need to do some ground work… We can’t afford an Obama presidency.
Well, I hope it comes out before the election. Otherwise, Larry will have some ’splainin to do…
Larry hasn’t any “explaining” to do…he does not have the tape, but reported earlier that his trusted sources know who does. If those who have the tape choose not to use it, Larry cannot be blamed.
Actually I’ve heard that the media (in the tank of course) have refused to show the tape on the grounds of racism.
Fox news would show it cause they have been reporting the truth since day 1, I don’t see why they would not show it, they are the ones that started showing Reverend Wright tapes and then the rest of the media started showing it, so your saying the tape is real?
McCain needs to hit Obama hard in the next few days. He cannot wait any longer or he will lose this election.
Lets just list some of Obama’s problems for a moment here:
1. Berg lawsuit stating Obama was not even born in America
2. Corsi, the author, just getting back from Kenya stating he now has definitive proof Obama gave Odinga (his cousin) advice about how to win his election by crying ‘foul’ if he lost and ‘voter fraud’ and if that didn’t work then to incite riots. By the way, his cousin orchestrated a genocide on his own people.
3. Obama’s spiritual leader for 20 years preached “white hate” in most of his sermons and yet he claims he never heard it after attending for so long.
4. Trinity Church’s gay choir director was murdered in December 2007 just when he was contacting Larry Sinclair about his activity with Obama.
5. Larry Sinclair who claims that in 1999, when Obama was a state senator and married, engaged in oral sex and drug use in the back of his limousine in IL
6. The “whitey” tape.
7. The Rezko real estate deals
8. His close association, over many years, with Bill Ayers which he is continually trying to deny
9. The fact he filled in his law license form stating he had no other previous names when we all know he had at least three other names.
10. ACORN connections and the fact his campaign just paid a subsidiary of ACORN $800,000 to work for Obama’s campaign
11. The fact he will not allow anyone to view his college records, which we all suspect had him applying as either a citizen of “Kenya” or “Indonesia” and that is why he doesn’t want us to see them.
12. The fact his own paternal grandmother and aunts/uncles state they witnessed his birth in Kenya.
13. How did he afford to go on a world travelling trip to Pakistan during college when he states in his book over and over again that he had no money. What did he do there for 3 weeks?
14. Why havent’ we seen anyone from his past come forward to vouch for him? No friends, no family! Heck, he has even stifled his own white grandmother from speaking to the press. Don’t you find it odd that she raised him, as he states in his book, and yet she is never present with him anywhere or at any convention? Very odd!
15. Refusing to wear a flag pin or put his hand over his heart during the pledge of allegiance, until he was pressured to. Something just is not right about that. Where are his allegiances, if not with America?
As you can see, the ammunition against Obama is plentiful. McCain can pick and choose but he must get this information out. If he won’t , then the RNC should! Wake up or you will lose the election!
Patrick asks,
“How did he afford to go on a world travelling trip to Pakistan during college when he states in his book over and over again that he had no money. What did he do there for 3 weeks?”
Patrick, didn’t you watch the second debate? He said his mother and grandmother raised the money by saving the food stamps. Intiende?
be easy on jp, koolaid in large doses frys the brain,
And don’t forget — Biden’s son the Delaware AG was set up to get Larry S. arrested right as he finished his Press Club denouncement of BO re sex, drugs. The arrest allegedly related to bad checks Larry S. had in Delaware, but the case was so flimsy that Biden’s son just so happened to get the charges dropped the same day or the morning after Joe Biden’s nomination as VP with BO was confirmed by the Dem convention.
Did you notice Obama gaffe at the last debate? He said that the banking rules were so lax in Delaware that a lot of banks went there for that reason…
Its not a gaffe, its totally true, and one of the first things people learn when they take courses about corporations. Sort of the corporate version of tax haven competition.
Patrick,
We should distribute your list to whoever we know.
Mass media are dead. We can only use our mini media (or small media, or another suitable terminology) to spread out the truth.
Good post, Patrick!
Patrick, you should email that list to McCain headquarters! They should be his next talking points at the next debate!
Hey ya’ll if Susan posts could you ask her to check her email? Its very important.
ok, soldier!
I hope this is the end of Acorn.
Jean,
I hope this is the end of Obama.
Jean,
I hope this is the end of Obama as well.
I have been volunteering at the McCain headquarters..it is fun. I ACCEPT THAT I HAVE TO HELP THIS NOT HAPPEN.
Please consider doing something while we still can to get things going.
I like being able to tell myself that no matter what happens I will know I did the right thing….FOUR YEARS IS A LONG TIME…8 YEARS WILL BE EVEN LONGER…
Let me chime in too. Again. Volunteer with your county GOP to be a poll observer on election day.
definitely…I am helping homebound voters fill out their absentee ballots the week before and helping on Election day as well. Everyone can do something even if it is just dropping off some food or bottled water at campaign headquarters for volunteers. But please do something….and there is POWER IN PRAYER. I know there are some Democratic bus trips going on across Ohio and PA. Hop on one for the weekend or donate some money to help them w gas.
CBS New with Katie Couric never mentioned the impassioned discussion about ACORN at the McCain-Palin rally, and quoted a NY Times article as saying Ayers and Obama “weren’t really close”. They called Ayers’ fundraiser at his home in the 1990’s a “political coffee”. Talk about minimizing news and facts for Obama’s sake, or media bias…
Of course, Katie has Jeff Greenberg commenting, so what else can we expect but in the tank for Barry.
I saw that….blech!
I wonder if it’s too late to implement an accountability of one vote per person. Remember that blue finger from the first election in Iraq? Maybe something a simple as that. I haven’t heard anyone say anything about even the need for accountability of one vote per person from the MSM, wonder if they are in the ACORN nut bag too?
Too much early, absentee, mail-in, etc., voting going on all over the US these days for the blue thumb to work.
And don’t forget — the new electronic voting machines can easily be jigged, don’t leave paper trails, and who was it ended up buying the company that makes them?
ACORN is Obama’s army. ACORN’s employees are Obama’s soldiers.
Obama gets earmark to fund ACORN to conduct voting fraud for Obama.
Wake up, America!!!
America isn’t gonna wake up, the kool Aid drinkers have already been fooled beyond belief. I am so scared of this guy becoming president, I don’t think I have ever been this scared in my whole life. We are gonna have Adolf Jr as President, and he will destroy this country and the media is all for it. They don’t care what this man is and his associations, they don’t care about his little hitler salutes that he does at rallys, this is beyond scary. If this gets bad I am leaving California, I am thinking about either moving to Alaska or to Israel, it will no longer be safe to be here in this country I love so much
I wish you would move. There is nothing so pathethic as an individual who can see what’s going on but too self-absorbed to do anything about it. This country wasn’t founded by a bunch of wimps or Cassandra’s looking for a place to hide.
I think the FEDS are doing a RICO Investigation on ACORN, it’s been going on for a while I think.
Lou Dobbs on CNN was just on this story and he mentioned that Obama paid Acorn for voters registration. CNN investigating unit is working on the story and reported to Lou.
The story on election day will be that there was a very low turnout for the democratic ticket. The fact that all the effort that Obama camp has put into voter turn out and only 28K voters voted in Ohio in a 5 day period speaks volumes about the support the democratic ticket has in Ohio. The polls can say what ever they want but if people don’t turn out it really makes no difference.
Its about darn time, you betcha!
Twelve states! Sounds SERIOUS to me.
No money coming. How can the Dems put up a fight for ACORN? Especially since they have violated voter registration laws year after year? Then to add fuel to the fire, Dems try to sneak into the Bailout Package BILLIONS for ACORN which was the main reason Republicans did not vote for the bill the first go round.
Could/should a Congressional hearing be far behind? I say yes. And Barney Frank should call one for face saving reasons alone.
OT a bit. In looking through the Google 2001 archive for Obama and ACORN, I came across this page: (NP = New Party = Socialist Party)
New Party Online News - Elections Update
Illinois: The first NP member heads to Congress, as Danny Davis wins an overwhelming 85% victory yesterday (he got a higher percentage of the vote in that district than the President). NP member and State Senate candidate Barack Obama won uncontested. Interestingly, it appears that the local Democratic machine is trying to distance itself from our folks. At a “Democratic Unity” march on Chicago’s West Side, a flyer invited community members to join with a host of local democratic candidates. The only two west-side Democrats not listed: NP members Danny Davis (U.S. House candidate) and Michael Chandler (Alderman and Ward Committeeman).

Of not for the blogs, we would be at the mercy of the mainstream media. Finally!
We have to watch that Fairness in Media Act. If Polosi wants it that makes me very afraid. Maybe someone can do an article on it.
I would be glad to do research for any of the writers here. I used to be an investigative reporter and I may not write well anymore but I can find things and lay them out for anyone to use.
As Obama goes up in the polls the stock markets go down. Obama’s lead is not assuring investors that hope is on the way? Mabe because of the dems,ACORN,Freddy Mac and Fannie May who have helped in crashing the markets with their sub prime morgtage loans and are now the cause for millions of people loosing big chunks of their retirement savings. Socalism at it’s worst. But the dems are lying and pointing the fingers and blaming everyone else but themselves. What hypocrites. What a mess. cnn’s politicalticker would not post this comment? Is the comment of on person so menacing? go figure
cnn’s politicalticker would not post this comment
Aside from allowing it to prove by its own posts that it is a complete waste of DNA, is there any reason for not banning “Jack Phat”?
Patience.
As soon as Susan gets back to the computer his punk ass will be banned.
That will be a Public Service.
Hey everyone, check this video out

People who think Obama is going to get away with bamboozling the electorate are pulling their money out of the market. This is Obama’s fault.
Look what his google stronghold wants to do with taxpayer money. This sounds like the MO of BHO. his finger printsa re all over this. The money would vanish if ver gotten. Not over site is on this. And what’s a Tech Company who’s bought off by BHO doing with wanting government money for experemental energy technology.
Google — the multi-billion dollar Internet giant — wants Congress to spend more than $4 trillion in U.S. taxpayer money on experimental alternative fuels.
You read that right.
Google apparently believes it is now America’s leading expert on energy!
Why is Google calling on the United States government to spend $4.4 trillion (that’s trillion with a “T”, six times as much as is being spent on the bailout) of our hard-earned tax dollars to subsidize renewable energy during these hard economic times?
If they have their way, much of that $4.4 trillion will go directly to subsidize their bottom line. This, with no guarantee that Google’s plan will help solve America’s energy crisis.
The goal of the Obama camp is to make voters think he will win in a landslide to keep McCain voters at home. Most states have some safeguards against voter fraud, such as requiring ID in Indiana (we used to have it in Ohio as well, Part of the fraud is being paid to register people who will never vote. Where does ACORN’s funding come from? If it’s taxpayer money, these people need to spend a good long time in jail.
I think that might backfire. I know I am working to get people to vote for McCain.
another great post UW,
they watch them like a hawk MY ASS…watch them to make sure they are meeting a quota is about it.
they damn well better be doing something before Nov. 4th like throw out every single absentee ballot and tell people they will have to send in new ones. NONE ACCEPTED FROM ACORN. This is absolute and total bullshit.
It was my pleasure to turn one or should I say 5 voters in to the elections office. Sometime back she had told me that she had 5 voter registration cards. Karma is a bitch and so am I. She won’t be using any of them now.
When will the MSM tie this ACORN business into the caucus fraud in the primaries! HELLO!
Never. The “liberal media” just gave us two terms of The Worst President In The History Of The World with bush and now they are trying to out do themselves by getting obama elected.
I agree that is what they are trying to do, it is up to us, to make sure that doesn’t happen. Make calls for mccain, get people to vote on election day for McCain, he is our only chance now.
I’m leaving the country if Obama wins. I will not be party to this. I’m scared. My dad has become an Obot and he is even defending Obama buying thirty minutes of television time to broadcast his propaganda. He says it is response to the smears by McCain. He doesn’t think Ayers is a bad guy. “He’s just a professor.” I’m freaking out.
Well lets hope enough people see the truth about Obama, the last thing we need is Obama as president.
Don’t lose hope, just work hard for McCain.
My teacher at school slipped up today when talking about political parties. She began saying “If we win…If Obama wins…” I was about to explode, but didn’t. Then a kid viciously attacked me for saying that Obama scared me. It is freaking crazy!!!
Why don’t you print out some articles for him to read about Ayers and what he’s done. They’re all over the place. If he thinks bin Laden is a bad guy, he should think Ayers is too. They’re both terrorists.
I would think your father would be old enough to remember what Ayers did…. Does your father know he blew up stuff and killed / almost killed people? That’s not just “a professor” LOL If you’re father is that far gone for NoBama that he would defend him on the Ayers issue then I’m afraid he’s WAY FAR GONE! You should ask him what kind of father would let their kids be educated by that guy? LOL I question any parent who finds it OK that he educates their children….I’d not pay for any class for my kid to take being taught by him!
Obama claims living in Indonesia as a tot is Foreign Policy Experience, Palin says Governing a State with close border to Russia is–who gets Ridiculed?? (RCP)
What I’d like to ask the Obamedia is this: Why, if Obama’s claims to some type of vast personal foreign policy experience (due to his years growing up overseas), did Obama pick a man (who’s been in the Senate nearly as long as Obama has been alive) who is widely regarded as a major foreign policy wonk? Seriously, Biden’s selection was praised by the media for bringing “experience” to the ticket, yet the same media had already bought into the “Obama has enough experience” canard.
Hey Everyone, here is Louis Farrakhan calling Obama the messiah
