At least two different Ohio blogs including Ohio Daily Blog posted an
email from ACORN on February 21, 2008, announcing that Ohio ACORN was
holding a Get Out The Vote project with the OBAMA Campaign.
It appears the Obama Campaign and ACORN also share talking points.
Yesterday, they both blamed John McCain and Republicans for the 12
different states investigating the organization for fraud.
ACORN President Maude Hurd, via USNW:
"We call on the McCain campaign to directly answer whether they,
the Republican Party or their operatives have been conspiring with the
Bush Administration to misuse the Justice Department in order to
suppress voter turnout in 2008," ACORN President Maude Hurd said in a
statement.
Likewise, the Obama Campaign released the same argument in their press
release today- blaming Republicans for the massive number of voter
fraud allegations against ACORN, via Bloomberg:
Robert Bauer, general counsel to the Obama campaign, wrote to
Attorney General Michael Mukasey a day after the Associated Press,
citing unidentified law enforcement officials, reported that the
Federal Bureau of Investigation was investigating ACORN. The name is
short for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
Bauer said the news leaks are part of a coordinated effort by
McCain's presidential campaign and Republicans. They are ``fomenting
specious vote-fraud allegations and there are disturbing indications
of official involvement or collusion,'' Bauer said.
"It is apparent," he wrote, that law enforcement officials are
serving "improper political objectives" that could inhibit voter
participation in the Nov. 4 election. The aim is to "suppress the vote
and to unduly influence investigations and prosecutions," Bauer wrote.
John McCain campaign manager Rick Davis charged last week that
Democrat Barack Obama is not being honest about his ties to the group.
The FBI opened an investigation into the far-left "community
organizer" group's nationwide voter-registration campaign this week.
Should they arrest Tony Romo and Mickey Mouse now on registration fraud charges
or is that perhaps a misdemeanor? They could catch them when they show up at
the polls to multivote, although past experience shows that they don't?
