ACORN, Fraud, and the Obama Campaign

Just got off a conference call that I thought you all might find interesting. It was with Republican National Lawyers Association Vice President Heather Heidelbaugh.

Today in testimony to the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, Republican National Lawyers Association Vice President Heather Heidelbaugh asserted that ACORN's Project Vote violated Internal Revenue Code by participating in voter registration and turn out operations for President Obama's campaign.

This isn't just about voter fraud. It's is clear they participated in during the election, in my view. No. It's more than that.

There is a lot of legalese, but let me boil it down for you. There are two whistleblowers helping out Ms. Heidelbaugh. One is Anita Moncrief. She worked as a development associate for ACORN and during the election she was working on the sly with the New York Times regarding all the nefarious things going on with ACORN. She says that the Obama campaign sent a list of maxed out donors to ACORN asking them to contact the donors to give to ACORN since they could no longer give any more money to Obama. This is a clear violation of federal election law. Moncrief shared this with the New York Times, who (surprise!).....killed the story. This is why Moncrief went to Ms. Heidelbaugh.

If that isn't enough to make you sick, then maybe the fact that ACORN is one of about 250 national partners picked to help publicize and recruit employees for the Census might get you a bit nauseous.

What could possibly go wrong? A Democratic front group helping the U.S. Census. It's outrageous and we should all let Congress know that it is.
