Thank you Mr. James T. Harris for standing up against Barack Obama. I was being to wonder if everyone in the African American community was blindly following Barak Obama. I have always been a conservative Christian and for the first part of my adult life I was dedicated democrat the last democrat I voted for was Al Gore. Then I watched the news coverage of Bush 2000 inauguration. I was shocked to see all the special interest protesting our newly elected President. Then I realized the democratic party no longer represents my views. I started to investigate our democratic party. I was shocked to learn the party I thought was looking out for the poor, sick, elderly and children had become the Pro Abortion and Pro Gay party, actually in the tank for supporters of these views and other far left liberal organizations. Wait... I thought they loved children, and now they are pro abortion, some even support partial birth abortion.
Now a representative from the party I used to love, has a presidential candidate who associates with know terrorist and radical far left loons who spread hate. Obama could not even get a security clearance if he wanted a job with the CIA or FBI because of the people he associated with in his adult life, now he wants the Job as the leader of the free world. Not only that he seeks approval of foreign countries. Whaaaatttt...wait a minute... America is America because the citizens immigrated here to get away from those country's, we did not agree with them, they oppressed, abused and neglected our founding citizens who fled their homelands to live in freedom in America.
Obama was an Acorn attorney and has given $800k in support of Acorn. Acorn is cheating with voter registration fraud and claim to be a non-partisan group who openly support Obama...hmmm?? Not only are Acoron representatives telling our youth who to vote for, Acorn is targeting uneducated and uninformed voters like the homeless. Some of whom if you show them a picture of Nancy Pelosi could not even identify her or our nations current vice president or the current democratic vice presidential candidate. Voter fraud violates our civil rights, doesn't that make you mad.
Not to mention the on the job training, Obama is quickly learning his previous political views do not work nationwide, that might be fine for a Chicago community, but it does not best represent the nation as whole. I want a president who can fairly look at the entire nation and not be an advocate for special interest and forget about the majority of the America people who work, pay bills and try to raise descent children who will contribute to society.
I still fell young at 43's but American has changed drastically, it is on the verge of chaos. Schools today are nothing like what I went to, children were behaved and respectful and patriotic. Now our schools kids are openly having sex, killing each other, doing drugs, even hitting teachers and during the GOP convention youth riot and attacked and hit police officers. What has happened to our society? Now greed and corruption are common place in business rather than ethics and integrity. Special interest and lobbyist control our government. The regular folk are lost in the crowd wanting our voice heard. I want a simple life, I want to work raise my kids and not have someones sexual preference shoved done my throat or be forced to agree that killing babies is socially acceptable.
Power to the people I purpose that Americans do not re-elect anyone in congress or senate and start fresh. Let's clean house. Stop the special interest groups and lobbyist from controlling our government any longer. Votes are put to the people. America needs someone to investigate what these lobbyist and special interest groups have been able to push through system at our expense. We almost need to demand an investigation in the economic devastation that happened just prior to the election and the foreign involvement or contribution to this mess. Some suspect that some foreign investors have committed economic terrorism to help get Obama elected.
:) Lets get the dirt out of the "White" House.
I was shocked to learn the party I thought was looking out for the poor, sick, elderly and children had become the Pro Abortion and Pro Gay party, actually in the tank for supporters of these views and other far left liberal organizations.
I really wish you wouldn't view the democratic party as only being "pro abortion" and "pro gay". It leaves the door wide open for others to attack the Republican party as being only "anti abortion" and "anti gay". Neither side of those arguments is a good thing.
One of my points was lost in my story. I am pro-life that is established. What I want to see is that a lobbyist or special interest group cannot control our government or either party. I would like to vote for a candidate because I feel like he will represent my country, my state or my community with its best interest at heart. I do not want organizations giving money to a candidate for their cause and even if they are the best person job. I would be morally opposed to voting for someone sponsored by special interest because he can't objectively make a decision that would best represent his constituents, if his campaign is sponsored by a special interest group or big business. Frankly, I do not see where it is the nation’s business what someone’s sexual preference is, so why are homosexual matters even a political matter. Do I need to start a special interest group for women who like men with green eyes? I object to abortion for the simple fact that 95%+ of all abortions are used as a form of birth control, because irresponsible people do not use birth control. The Baby gets killed for that reason, why? The Republican and Democratic Parties both receive money from big business in which greed and corruption are rampant.
So in a nutshell, special interest and big business run our government, not the people. We need reform.
The problem is, we are consistently denied basic civil rights granted in the constitution and people continue to push legislation against us. THAT is why it is a political issue. If people would let us access the same equal rights and would quit discriminating against us via the constitution, there would be no political issue whatsoever. We'll quit making it an issue when they do.

You should double check your information about acorn. Acorn didn't violate any voting fraud. Registration fraud is not voting fraud. Voting fraud is violated when a person actually cast a vote that shouldn't have been made, not when people are registrating to vote. When an organization realize that there may be registration fraud, they are require to report it. Acorn notice the registration fraud and reported it as require by law. Acorn was the one that reported on themselves.

Acorn is being investigated for various types of election fraud in at least 13 states. What you say about them turning themselves in may be true in some cases but here is at least one case where the investigation was initiated by suspicious election officials.
ACORN investigation
What type of election fraud are you talking about? There wasn't any to start with. Registration fraud don't constitute election fraud. There is a huge difference.
Here the story.
1) Acorn hired people to help with voter registration
2) It turn out that some of the workers just wanted a quick buck
3) The unethical workers quickly fill in voting registration form as they please
4) Acorn found out and reported the registration fraud
5) Mainstream media decided to fill the public head with misinformation about Acorn
6) Public got angry with Acorn based on false information
7) Rumor spread and Acorn got the bad reputation it now has.
If anyone is worry about election fraud, they should first watch the documentary called Uncounted: The New Math of American Elections. This documentary will explain about the real issue with election.

4) Acorn found out and reported the registration fraud
This is the second time you have posted this blatently inaccurate information and this time it was in response to my post where I posted a link to an article that directly contradicts it. Did you read it?
To make things easier for you, this time I will include a quote from the article I linked to above:
The inquiry started when workers at the Board of Elections flagged dozens of registration cards ACORN turned in. The group paid workers hourly wages to sign up unregistered, low- and moderate-income people. They were encouraged to meet a quota of voters to register.
It turns out that the investigation was initiated by the Board of Elections who flagged dozens of ACORN registration cards. ACORN did not report themselves as you have repeatedly stated, and if they ever did, it was not until AFTER they had been accused of voter registration fraud.
It turns out that their hiring practices, compensation practices, supervisiory practices of their employees are sadly lacking and because it is a pattern that has been repeated in more than 25% of the states across the country over multiple election cycles without being corrected by ACORN, it seems fair to assume that ACORN's behavior is deliberate. It looks like they WANT to commit voter registration fraud while maintaining some plausible level of deniability where they can blame their greedy employees rather than taking responsibility for properly supervising them and reviewing their work or compensating them for quality rather than quantity.
I appreciate hearing your view on the topic but I have to say that Acorn with relation to Obama did nothing wrong. Yes, I have read the article you post. It was nonsense. I don't think that you are acknowledging the actual cause of the problem. This will be my final post and I do hope you read the article I provide below. I do hope that the article will help you understand why Acorn is getting so much blame, which Acorn shouldn't be getting.

Here also something else to look at.

As I recall, there were a LOT of accusations leveled against ACORN during the last presidential campaign, but then accusations do not automatically indicate guilt. What did the investigating agencies have to say after they examined the legality of ACORN and its employees? Were any charges actually filed against ACORN or its Board of Directors?
I'll save you the trouble of looking it up...
I love factcheck.org, don't you?
It is very easy to accuse, but as is often the case with political mud-slinging, this accusation appears to be more than a little spurious.
TTFN,
