ACORN Document Dump: Trashing a Person’s Credit History

Banks, businesses and organizations like ACORN who receive individual’s personal financial records are bound by strict federal and state laws to protect that information. The law is chiefly enforced through the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (GLB), which was a previous attempt by Congress to restructure the financial sector.

You are ever incredibly simplistic and partisan in your analysis. When you dump personal records, files and documentations, you owe it to the citizen to redact or shread their personal information. That did not occur.

A young lawyer, a community organizer himself, sued on behalf of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (Acorn) and won. The young lawyer was Barack Obama.

Also on ACORN's side in that suit were the League of Women Voters and the US Justice Department. Gov. Edgar's attempts at minority vote suppression were unsuccessful in that case.

Yes, I believe that was two uncompensated one-hour sessions almost three years apart in the late 1990's.

When Obama served on the board of the Woods Fund for Chicago with Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers, the Woods Fund frequently gave Acorn grants to fund its agenda and voter registration activities.

Yeah, it's agenda consists of protecting the housing, educational, financial, workplace, and voting rights of those who live and work in minority and low- to moderate-income urban communities. A lot of sensible people support them in that work.

"Ballot integrity" is just a codeword for vote suppression. There is nothing honorable in it whatsoever. It is a racist, elitist, right-wing concept.

Some of ACORN's 13,000 canvassers (2008 total) have committed voter registration fraud by knowingly turning in bogus registration cards in an effort to make themselves look good. ACORN itself has been instrumental in rooting these people out. ACORN has never been implicated in any case of vote fraud anywhere.
