ACORN Watch: Former staffer connects the dots
Breaking in Pittsburgh this afternoon: Testimony from a former Project Vote worker that brings together the ObamACORN family all together again…
A former staffer for an affiliate of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now testified today that the organization was provided a “donor list” from the presidential campaign of Barack Obama in late 2007 for fundraising efforts.
Anita Moncrief, a former Washington, D.C. staffer for Project Vote, which she described as a sister organization of ACORN, said her supervisor told her the list of campaign contributors came from the Obama campaign. Moncrief said she has a copy of a “development plan” that outlines how Obama contributors who had “maxed out” under federal contribution limits would be targeted to give to Project Vote, and that it was her job to identify such contributors.
Moncrief testified that ACORN and Project Vote were virtually identical…
…A Republican lawyer submitted a computer disk of the Obama database to Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson.
Moncrief, whom Project Vote fired earlier this year, testified for more than two hours during a hearing on a Pennsylvania Republican Party lawsuit aimed at curbing voter fraud in Tuesday’s general election.
Moncrief was fired for putting personal expenses on the organization’s credit card. (Top ACORN brass were involved in massive embezzlement schemes and escaped punishment for years.)
The lawsuit against ACORN and its affiliates, as well as Secretary of the Commonwealth Pedro Cortes, asks the court for a preliminary injunction. GOP lawyers want the court to force ACORN to make its voter database available and require voter education efforts. The Republicans also want the Department of State to make its voter registration database more readily available to counties. A Department of State lawyer has said Pennsylvania is already doing so.
Moncrief said she does not have a vendetta against ACORN.
“I do not think it is a bad organization,” she said. Moncrief said she came forward and contacted Heidelbaugh because she believes low-income vote canvassers were not trained and then were “thrown under the bus”– facing criminal prosecution — for frauduent registrations.
Now, don’t you dare ask Joe Biden about any of this.

The A corndogs are coming home to roost. But will the public be apprised in time to make it all right?
Thank you, Jesus!
When are they going to arrest Obama!
Thanks Michelle for putting this up
Jive Turkey could not be reached for comment.
Eventually what is obvious from a common-sense point of view will be made equally clear from a legal perspective:
ACORN is nothing more than a front organization for the donkey party, doing their dirty work for them to help win “by hook or by crook.”
Keep in mind if Obama funneled money to a non profit to get past election laws that makes this serious.
Keep this stuff coming! Let the truth be known (not that the Obamabots will care, but some “undecideds” may go to the RIGHT party).
Now all we need is that video the LA Times is sitting on….
McCain/Palin ‘08!
Oh my. Barack what is that on your shoe?
ACORN Non-Partisan? Watch Their Own Video to see.
ACORN FRAUD for Louis F@rr@kh@n’s “Messiah“.
When will we see people frag-marched to jail for a very long time? It is long over due.
Obama will not take the fall for this, one of his usefull idiots will. Like say, watershed.
Im gonna take a small dance here as I was the one who sent this in to Michelle
I need all the help I can get
‘Suuuuprise, suuuuuprise!’
Not……
Wonder if she’ll get the Joe the Plumber treatment? (JTPT for short)
Oblama’s campaign is screaming corruption at every turn. It screams lies, distortions, socialism and fraud. His campaign has been all about trashing America while he gets in bed with our enemies. He must be stopped!
This would be a nice thing for Obama to talk about tonight..he’s got a helluvalot of splaining to do. I doubt 30 minutes will be enough.
John Fund pegged Obama the other night when he said he was, “marinated in ACORN.”
As with those testifying against the (other) Mob, she’ll need to go into the witness protection plan.
Another skeleton into the closets of CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, PBA, NPR, NY Times, Boston Globe, Newsweek, Time, etc. etc. etc.
The election needs to be postponed until these foundational, existential, bedrock problems/violations/crimes affecting our election process are investigated and resolved – at least as investigated and resolved as they are going to be.
I know, I know…fat chance, unfortunately (*sigh*).
William Amos – He already HAS funnelled 800,000 to ACORN. So far, noone seems to care.
What’s sad is that no revelation found to legitimately discredit Obama will be focused on by the media.
Not even after the election.
Yes, Michelle, thank you for getting the word out on this Fraud and Illegality. Rush read some of this on air today. I’m worried about the security of our vote. Locally, I’m going to talk with the Republican Party and with the Election Board here in San
Jose. I want to find out what I can do and how we can make the vote safer, starting locally. I remember John Fund has been writing and talking about ways
vote fraud can be done for years. It’s time Acorn’s tactics are shut down…and nothing takes it’s place. This makes me so angry I could spit nails.
I wonder what Anita charged to the company credit card?
Don’t ask!
‘It’s the big one, Elizabeth!’
Connect white dots on white paper with a white crayon and know what you get? Nada. Just like what is going to happen with all of the exposed voter fraud perpetuated by ACORN.
Acorn on the front end, Fanny and Freddy on the back end = Chinese finger cuffs!
More like Sarah Palin times 10.
***dances for William Amos*****
pardon the shaking of my groove thang.
Obama gave 800,000 to a group connected to acorn as a way of hiding sending them money. Now Project vote is also involved in this.
One thing is for certain a ton of money is being funneled into the democratic party from SOMEWHERE !
Your right…wonder if they will edit out all uh..uh.uh. duh.uh.duh’s
I was kidding about the editing…this is going to be live isn’t it?
He’ll have a teleprompter and therefore be as smooth as a baby’s ass.
Could it be that one of the “somewheres” is *gasp!* George Soros?
BTW, where and how is his money (wealth) hidden?
How much more is Obama planning to make Soros pay in taxes?
Oh…sorry.
What came over me?!
Michelle, this can’t be good for ACORN recruiting LOL! Thank you, I was missing my daily ACORN.
Well, it’s time to post these anti-Obama stickers EVERYWHERE.
The “O” symbol is used to spell everything from “cOmmie” to “dOuche.”

Send it around!
Au contraire! This has already postponed the election to the fullest exent it ever will. It has also gotten about all the traction it will in most left-wing media outlets, that is to say, the entire MSM.
The RNC has picked this story up
Proving that the RNC does read this blog (and others)
Now go fix the party RNC.
And Anita Moncrief will get “plumbered” in 3..2..1
Meanwhile go to Michelle’s old link from the NY Times
An internal audit of ACORN shows that Vote Project and ACORN are one and the same group.
WOW, now they have the facts, so what are we going to do with it? Do you think for one minute the media didn’t know? They may be shills but they aren’t stupid shills.
And how is this helping Michelle Obama’s
mature fetuseschildren?Keep in mind that after you die ACORN will make sure you vote still counts !
Well, well. Speaking of Acorn. They now have a new ad accusing the Republicans of voter suppression.
Here’s an article in the NYT’s
Nah, they’re not playing the race card or anything.
Watch the ad.
WE and the alternative media will have to spread the news. The MSM are not shills – they ARE willing accomplices, aiding and abetting the marxist government to come. The MSM will simply conoslidate into the US version of TASS and PRAVDA. Already pretty close to that right now.
Again the focus is on the wrong thing. ACORN registering the dead isnt as much the problem as the democratic party funneling money to workers to get their votes and other votes.
Its unabashed vote buying.
Hear-here! They’re not listening. They may read but they know how to ignore (their base anyhow).
WOW! I think I just got “old time religion”
ACORN = America of Communists Only Right Now!
This is why Obama wants everyone to vote early. He knows that the poop will hit the rotating blades the week before the election, but if people have already voted, they can’t unvote.

I, for one, would support a complete and total “do-over”, starting right now. Postponing the election is a bad thing, but much better than the potential alternative of an on-time election stolen by a Communist Jihadist.
Wipe ALL of the voter registration databases completely clean.
Have EVERYONE re-register, requiring the same proof of citizenship that is required BY LAW for employment in the United States. Once verified as a citizen, add a single entry in their registration for a single driver’s license number.
When voting, require in-person checking of the driver’s license against the registration. Absentee ballots should be required to be notarized.
Obama broke his promise re: public campaign finance and now is flush with cash for the sole intention of buying this election. I have never seen such flagrant disregard for ethics or decency as I have seen during this election.
ACORN=American Communists Organizing Revolution Now!
ACORN…planting the seeds of Communist Revolution
I CONCUR!
Can you be impeached before you take office?
ACORN…our logo isn’t red for nothing…
Chair of ACORN called upon CPUSA “as family”

ACORN and the Communist Party USA
Can you be deported before you take office
How about arresting him. The shyster!
Etymology
The word is derived from the German verb scheissen, “to defecate” and the English suffix -ster, “one who does”. Shyster is an alteration of the German scheißer, which literally means “defecator” or an “incompetent worthless person”.
By the time the defense lawyer does cross examination, she will have recounted everything. It will be all a mistake, that is, after the BO campaign straightens her out. As “Plugs” Biden says, “Mark my words.”
At least Moncrief didn’t expose Clinton…we know what happened to all of their “friends” who testified.
Obama wouldn’t even consider…doing…um…
Also off topic: why does the Kentucky campus feel the need to apologize to the Obama campaign for an effigy of Obama hung in a tree? I mean, it’s just ‘bad taste’ right? (to quote the W.Hollywood law enforcement regarding the Palin effigy)…

Gitmo. Perfect.
If Obummer isn’t stopped, you ain’t seen nuthin’ when it comes to flagrent disregard for ethics. The Dems will have so much disregard as to make it near impossible for dissent and anything other than ONE PARTY (DEMOCRATIC) RULE FOREVER!
ACORN also has $3.7 million dollars in tax liens going as far back as the 1980’s too.
Fair is fair. If we commence a do-over, I want to change the Republican candidate as well.
Then: Instead of McCain/Palin ‘08 Let it be Palin/Steele ‘08
Go get ‘em!
Palin/Inhofe ‘08
Seize the building and contents, and lock the doors on Sunday night! Then let the ACORNholers try to get reorganized by Election Day!

Jim’s a little long in the tooth, and I like him in the Senate.
Palin/Jindal ‘12 & ‘16!

Tax liens?
Didn’t they attack Joe the Plumber about that very thing?
Waiting for the MSM to attack ACORN…
I don’t think we need the precedent set of postponing elections. While we were
sleeping, ACORN and like groups have been stealing elections for a while. We
need to cheer if we overcome this and win or lick our wounds and fix what’s broken. Too often we get busy and look the other way. Then this stuff happens.
It’s still our responsibility to be vigilant and keep our democracy (to paraphrase Ben Franklin). Either way, the Public needs to be vigilant. The pendulum still swings..

After further thought, I think you’re right. I wanted a one-time “cleansing” of the thousands of dead people, Mickey Mouse, etc.
But it would set a precedent and there’s no way to prevent that precedent from being used disruptively in the future.
Better to just pray this election through, and immediately go to work cleaning it up in preparation for the 2010 elections.
Maybe Sen. Biden thinks he’s Col. Nathan P. Jessep. Maybe he wants the media to “Ask me nicely”.
When I read your initial comment, ITook TheRedPill, I could already hear Democrats whining, `Well, you Republicans postponed an election,first’
God save us. That would be all the excuse they need. I’m starting to believe Rush when he says this is a Conservative Country, even a Center Right Country. Dem’s DO need to cheat to
have their delegates win. THAT is something we can do something about.
(I’m out. And Off playing hookey tomorrow. God save the Republic. Yes I am praying DAILY.)
Yeah, and the media will get right on it. All we can do is hope this information can somehow get out to the people. I have an idea…print this information out, make thousands of copies, put them in balloons and let ‘em go. Just as effective as waiting for the msm to cover this story.
HOW MANY OCTOBER SURPRISES DO THESE IDIOTS NEED FOR G#D’S SAKE? WAKE UP AMERICA! YOU ARE BEING DOOPED!
Follow the money!
Don’t know if anyone has mentioned this yet…have you seen the ACORN ad they are running, accusing the McCain campaign of suppressing voter’s rights?
Deflect. Distract. Destroy.
Go ahead and ask Joe, it’s fun to watch his head explode.
I do not believe we have begun to connect the dots.
ACORN is a Socialism Organizing group that is growing and expanding constantly and the verbiage on their sites matches the language that Obama uses constantly.
Each allied group is spawning other groups and they are being funded surreptitiously through Annenberg type foundations by fellows like Ayers but also through government earmarks.
Obamas fingerprints are all over this organizing and will be his power base to implement his socialist policies.
The investigations need to go much further to expose the true nature of this organization and Obamas role as their leader.
From what has come to light so far the dictate that “the ends justify the means” seems to prevail in all their activities.
whatever goes around has a way of coming around.
What needs to be done is to have every one who registers to vote provide a state ID. The lefties will cry foul, however since the Supreame Court overturned the Indiana case, it would help in getting rid of all of these illegal votes.
ACORN and their ilk use race and try and create the thought that the poor are being denyed the chance to vote. Any thought to the otherwise is immediately called racist. An investigation needs to be called on by the feds on the ENTIRE ACORN organisation and people need to be put in jail for allowing false voter registrations. Also the feds need to identify every voter that was signed up by an ACORN volunteer and find out what political party they are voting for. This would determine IF ACORN is being non partisan (which we all know they are not). If the investigation determines that ACORN is signing up only Dems, then all federal funding should immediately be stopped and ACORN should be required to repay every single cent of previous federal funds.
