Stand with ACORN against Partisan Attacks

ACORN, the voice of low- and moderate-income families, is under attack from right-wing operatives hoping to stop the 1.3 million low-income, of color, and young voters we helped register from voting. They are being helped by ethically-challenged reporters like Lou Dobbs from CNN. ACORN needs your help to fight back against these smears and help ensure that all of our voters can vote on Election Day.

Dear Lou Dobbs: As ACORN members, allies and supporters we find your obsession with ACORN – 61 mentions of the group from Friday, October 10 to Monday, October 13 on CNN – to be troubling. As people who think that voting is a GOOD thing and a civic duty we wonder -- What bothers you about ACORN's 1.3 million person voter registration drive? Is it: A) The small portion of voter registration cards that did not result in new voters, OR B) The millions of new voters--many of them African American or Latino and young--who will be going to the polls to vote this November? We demand: (1) That you give equal time reporting on all the actual voters registered through ACORN’s work as you do to reporting on the program’s problems, all of which were initially caught and reported to elections officials by ACORN itself; (2) Offer evidence to support ANY of your claims that ACORN is engaged in “widespread attempts to undermine elections” in the United States. (3) Report the story for what it really is: that 1.3 million new voters from backgrounds that terrify you will show up at the polls in November and that smearing ACORN, a group that has worked tirelessly for almost 40 years to raise wages, increase affordable housing, create better schools, and stop the lending practices that led to the current global financial crisis, is the only way you can try and stop them.

What became of those that brought these people. Nothing and that is the shame.

701	November 11, 2008	Brenda Levitt	I support ACORN because ACORN is helping eery American exercise their right to vote. You are engaged in voter suppression. YOU WON'T WIN. WE WON'T ALLOW IT. The era of control of opinion through lies, deception, and miseducation are over. There is a new paradigm and you'd better recognize it if you want an audience of people other than the mentally defective and the morally bankrupt.

699	November 08, 2008	Minister Ciro Di Donna	I support ACORN because they dare to stand up against the likes of Lou Dobbs but most important is their humanitarian mission of helping those families caught in the vicious cycle of poverty in a godless nation whose national motto should be changed to "In Money We Trust".

695	November 02, 2008	Lane Williams	I support this organization because it dares to represent through the democratic process, those who would like to have a share of the american dream. We need to get rid of the screamers and liars on media payrolls and insist on complete stories not the half truths they are paid to proclaim. I would propose a law which requires the sources of payments to commentators who acquire some agreed upon percentage of an area's audience share so we listeners will know who's benefiting from content of the various stations serving an area.

690	October 30, 2008	Karl Clarke	I can not stand by and watch republican assasination tactics go on any longer. We all have to SPEAK UP, LOUD and CLEAR . If this election is stolen from us this time, the time for a general nationwide strike is needed!!!!!!!!
689	October 30, 2008	Christina Conant	I support ACORN because they are not afraid to tell the truth even when threatened by the Power Brokers who speak through their puppets like McCain, Bush, et al.
