ACORN Whistleblower Says Obama DOJ 'Has Gone Wild'

ACORN Whistleblower Says Obama DOJ 'Has Gone Wild'

Unless voter integrity efforts take root this year, the notion of free and fair elections could become a relic of American history, Catherine Engelbrecht warned listeners during the "True the Vote National Summit in Houston, Texas yesterday. Engelbrecht, who is the president and founder of the organization, cited specific instances throughout the country where the number of voters listed on registration rolls exceeded the actual number of eligible voters. She also said it was far too easy for non-citizens to obtain voter registration forms.

"The next few months are critical to the telling of our story," she said. "Our goal is the make the 2012 elections the freest and fairest the country has ever seen." Engelbrecht acknowledged this is a tall order. The various pressure groups opposed to photo identification requirements are very well funded and well organized. But they are not on the side of public opinion.

The latest survey from Rasmussen finds that 64 percent of likely U.S. voters see voter fraud as a serious problem. The same survey also reports that 73 percent of Americans do not view photo ID laws as being discriminatory.

Other speakers included Anita MonCrief, a former ACORN/Project Vote employee, turned conservative activist.

"I was very sheltered until I met the Tea Party people," she said. "We were all black Catholics, we liked Jesus and JFK."

MonCrief recalled a meeting in Little Rock, Arkansas, where ACORN activists outlined a "socialist wish list" that included universal health care and environmental justice. It was at this point that MonCrief began to have misgivings about the ACORN network that were further cemented when she became privy to the close connection between the 2008 Obama campaign and the Project Vote affiliate, she explained.

The collusion between President Obama's Department of Justice and far left pressure groups that are out to block voter fraud investigations and intimidate state officials was a major theme of MonCrief's talk.

"Our country is under attack from the inside," she said. "The Department of Justice has gone wild; it is not working on behalf of the American people. It is working for these pressure groups."

MonCrief also described how ACORN activists exploited loose voting standards throughout the country in the past few election cycles. Phone calls were made to the offices of secretaries of state throughout the country to identify where it would easiest to manipulate and exploit provisional ballots; these are the ballots used when question are raised about a voter's eligibility.

Other speakers included Pat Caddell, a Fox News Contributor, and Democratic political strategist. Caddell discussed how the disputed Bush-Gore 2000 presidential race has impacted subsequent elections. The George Soros funded, Secretary of State Project (SOS), for instance, has successfully positioned key figures into office who are sympathetic toward ACORN, and other pressure groups, Caddell explained.

Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie, who was elected with support from Soros and ACORN, oversaw the recount that ultimately resulted in election of Al Franken as that state's Democratic U.S. Senator. Franken had been behind Republican Norm Coleman before the recount.

"Every stolen election is a bullet in the heart of what this country is about," Caddell said.


Franken provided the 60th vote needed to pass Obamacare.

ACORN/ProjectVote: Obama's Achilles' heel still

By Michael Gaynor

Ironically, "fair and balanced" Fox News has former Project Vote head Jehmu Greene on its payroll and on air as a Fox contributor, but not MonCrief, who worked for Greene at Project Vote.

Wikipedia: "An Achilles' heel is a deadly weakness in spite of overall strength, that can actually or potentially lead to downfall. While the mythological origin refers to a physical vulnerability, metaphorical references to other attributes or qualities that can lead to downfall are common."

President Obama's ACORN/Project Vote tie was his Achilles' heel in 2008 and still is.

Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton was right when he told GovernmentExecutive.com that "Barack Obama's ties to ACORN are well-documented, which is the principal reason ACORN's spin-offs are handed tax dollars instead of subpoenas."

It is Obama's ties to ACORN and Project Vote (that ACORN founder and chief organizer Wade Rathke called part of the "ACORN family of organizations") that should and can be Obama's undoing.

The problem is not lack of documentation or testimony, the problem is that most voters are not familiar with that documentation and testimony.

This time the whole truth needs to become generally known, lest Obama be reelected.

This month Andrew Breitbart's Big Government.com presented important articles by Fitton and former United States Justice Department attorney J. Christian Adams tying the Obama Administration to wrongdoing involving ACORN and ACORN's Project Vote.
