ACORN fights back in my home town!!!!!!!

Right Left Right Left ...you're toothless!!!!!! YAY!!!!!! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/27/new-mexico-gop-sued-for-v_n_138199.html ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) has sent out a press release about a lawsuit against the New Mexico GOP after reports that minority voters in the state are being intimidated by party officials. The press release: Lawsuits were filed today in U.S. Federal District Court, charging New Mexico Republicans with criminal violations of the U.S. Voting Rights Act. The lawsuits stem from a series of attacks on new, minority voters in Albuquerquemany of whom were assisted in registering to vote by ACORNthat began with a press conference on October 16, led by State Representative Justine Fox-Young, in which Fox-Young claimed to have solid proof that individuals had illegally voted in the June, 2008 Democratic primary election. At the press conference, the Republican Party broke state law by distributing the voters' personal information in its press packets. The second attack came after ACORN visited 9 of the 10 smeared voters and proved them to be legitimate. On October 22, a private investigator visited at least 3 of the voters, leaving them shaken, one in tears.

It's sad...the GOP has been trying for years to find Democratic Voter Fraud.. and they cant, they tried replacing prosecutors and forcing prosecutors to dig up fraudulent voters,,,they couldn't find any.. so they go after ACORN, and try to create a monster ....but it's all a lie, ACORN has them selves turned in any suspicious registration information. The GOP hate ACORN because ACORN registers poor people and works to create actual democracy where the entire population is finally involved in the democratic process So then the GOP actually gos to LEGITIMATE NEW VOTERS AND TRIES TO SCARE THEM!!~! and publish their names like they are criminals!! While all the while they are purging voter rolls for political reasons... And guys like sterling sit here and act as their cheerleaders.....
