ACORN and voter registration

[Discussion list for COMM-ORG]

[ed:  thanks to Doug for further info.]

From: dougrhess at aol.com


As ACORN comes under fire in various states and from the right (with 
charges that used to only float around in the far-right conspiracy 
theory blogosphere, but are now getting some mainstream attention), I 
would hope that people please consider correcting distortions and 
calling politicians, journalists and pundits out whenever bald face lies 
show up in your local paper or airwaves. ACORN has been posting a ton of 
information on its website www.acorn.org to correct these distortions. 
Go there to get the facts for your letters, editorials, etc.

Anybody that is interested in civil rights should be speaking out after 
hearing Sen. McCain say ACORN was planning one of the largest campaigns 
of election fraud in U.S. history. Talk about a bad memory.

Regarding the scandalous ACORN "scandal": Another excellent sourse, 
besides www.acorn.org of course, is the Project Vote site and blog 
www.projectvote.org and some good research and background can be found 
at www.talkingpointsmemo.com
