Barack Hussein Obama has Ties to ACORN and its Socialism
Obama Gives Campaign Money to ACORN Affiliate
The liberal socialist Barack Hussein Obama tries to hide his ties to ACORN and other socialist groups. It isn’t surprising he wouldn’t want anyone to know his affiliation as member after member of ACORN has gone to jail. ACORN is very big in Chicago and time after time has been taken to court over voter fraud. ACORN’s primary agenda is socialism.
“If ACORN were merely another whiny left-wing group that never did anything, it might be something we could all laugh off as cute. But alas, ACORN is neither cute nor laughable; it is a very determined, very powerful outfit which believes in implementing socialism, and works hard to create the right conditions to make socialism inevitable, and ineradicable”
Liberal socialist Barack Hussein Obama honed his ideological teeth working with ACORN as a “community organizer” and legal representative. Obama represented ACORN in 1995 forcing Illinois to implement the “motor voter” bill. One more voter fraud ploy that ACORN is so well known for. Whenever Obama’s role as an ACORN leadership trainer is noted or his seats on the various boards of foundations that may have supported ACORN are discussed, there is little follow-up.
ACORN holds to a radical economic framework and confrontational 1960’s-style tactics. ACORN prefers to fly under the national radar, organizing locally in liberal urban areas. Local legislators and reporters are often “slow to grasp how radical ACORN’s positions really are.” ACORN’s new goals are municipal laws targeting “big-box” stores like Wal-Mart, rolling back welfare reform and regulating banks. Unfortunately, instead of helping workers, ACORN’s campaigns drive businesses out of the very neighborhoods where jobs are needed most. ACORN’s opposition to welfare reform only threatens to worsen the self-reinforcing cycle of urban poverty and family breakdown. ACORN uses banking regulations to pressure financial institutions into massive “donations” that it then uses to finance supposed non-partisan voter turn-out drives.
ACORN’s radical agenda sometimes shifts toward “undisguised authoritarian socialism.” In his early organizing days, Obama would tell the residents he organized that they’d be more effective in their protests if they controlled their anger. As he established and deepened his association with ACORN through the years, Obama had to know what the organization was all about. Moreover, in his early days, Obama was not exactly a stranger to the “direct action” side of community organizing that ACORN did.
Obama’s long service with Acorn led many members to serve as the volunteer shock troops of Obama’s early political campaigns — his initial 1996 State Senate campaign, and his failed bid for Congress in 2000. With Obama having personally helped train a new cadre of Chicago Acorn leaders, by the time of Obama’s 2004 U.S. Senate campaign, Obama and Acorn were “old friends.”
If Acorn is adept at creating a non-partisan, inside-game veneer for what is in fact an intensely radical, leftist, and politically partisan reality, so is Obama himself. This is hardly a coincidence: Obama helped train Acorn’s leaders in how to play this game. For the most part, Obama seems to have favored the political-insider strategy, yet it’s clear that he knew how to play the in-your-face “direct action” game as well. And surely during his many years of close association with Acorn, Obama had to know what the group was all about.
Liberal socialist Barack Hussein Obama’s one big accomplishment as a community organizer turns out to be another Obama lie. Obama’s book, Dreams from My Father, exaggerates his accomplishments in spearheading an asbestos cleanup at a low-income housing project. Liberal socialist Barack Hussein Obama denies due credit to Hazel Johnson, an activist who claims she was the one who actually discovered the asbestos problem and led the efforts to resolve it. An L. A. Times story leans toward confirming this complaint against Obama, yet the story’s emphasis is to affirm Obama’s important role in the battle. Speaking up in defense of Obama on the asbestos issue is Madeleine Talbot, who at the time was a leader at Chicago Acorn. Talbot, we learn, was so impressed by Obama’s organizing skills that she invited him to help train her own staff.
According to FEC records reviewed by the Tribune-Review, the Obama campaign paid CSI $832,598.29, from Feb. 25 to May 17, including $564,342.21 for "stage, lighting and sound." CSI is a spinoff of Acorn and has the same board members. CSI doesn't perform stage, lighting or sound services. Then there were payments to CSI of $63,000 and $75,000 for advance work. Excluding the large payments to CSI, the average amount the Obama campaign spent on advance work paid to other organizations was $558.82. After being caught the Obama campaign announced it was amending its FEC filings to indicate it hired CSI for "get out the vote" projects instead of stage, lighting and sound.
"Barack Obama's failure to accurately report his campaign's financial records is an incredibly suspicious situation that appears to be an attempt to hide his campaign's interaction with a left-wing organization previously convicted of voter fraud. For a candidate who claims to be practicing 'new' politics, his FEC reports look an awful lot like the 'old-style' Chicago politics of yesterday," stated RNC Spokeswoman Blair Latoff.
Neither the liberal socialist Barack Hussein Obama nor his campaign has addressed issues of Obama’s ties to ACORN and why Obama would hire for a "get out the vote" drive a reported subsidiary of an organization whose leadership was convicted in multiple voter fraud cases. I wonder why?
During Obama’s time on the Woods Funds ACORN received grants of $45,000 (2000), $30,000 (2001), $45,000 (2001), $30,000 (2002), and $40,000 (2002) from the Woods Fund.
The pattern of funneling money to political allies and their allies is evident throughout Obama’s tenure at the Woods Fund. Tens and tens of thousands of dollars were granted to organizations including the Brighton Park Neighborhood Council, Business and Professional People for the Public Interest (BPPPI), the Center for Neighborhood Technology, Centers for New Horizons, the Chicago Jobs Council, the Chicago Education Fund, the Chicago Institute on Urban Poverty, the Chicago Urban League, The Gamaliel Foundation. Dozens of the board members and officials from these organizations in turn would donate money, in many instances up to the legal limit, for Obama’s Senate and Presidential races between 2004 and 2008.
For example the Woods Fund between 1999 and 2002 granted $60,000 to BPPPI. Board member and executives donated at least $16,950 to Obama’s political campaigns. The Woods Fund granted the Center of Neighborhood Technology $150,000 between 1999 and 2002. Obama received over $24,000 in campaign donations from its officials. And in turn Obama made sure to seek earmarks on their behalf once he reached the U.S. Senate.
The liberal socialist Barack Hussein Obama says he’s for change. America unless you want to be ruled by the proletariat Obama and his socialist friends you better think again. Neighborliness, is really just another name for socialism.
Speak Now America! we want to hear from you!

During these most dificult times is hard for me to believe any anyone would vote for Obama. I didn't have to read this particular history of the liar and thief to come to this conclusion

Ernest, I could not agree with you more! It boggles my mind as well. Even though you didn't have to read the article to know about Obama; we at speaknowamerica.org are glad you did. Thanks for your contribution!
