ACORN Should Be Obama's Undoing
by Michael J. Gaynor


We will never know exactly how many fraudulent votes ACORN will be responsible for in the upcoming presidential election, but If the whole truth about ACORN and its long and intimate relationship with rookie United States Senator and 2008 Democrat presidential nominee Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. becomes fully and generally known, on Election Night 2008 Obama and his ACORNites will moan.

Very shortly after my article entitled "Blame Obama's ACORN for the Financial Crisis" was posted, I received an email invitation to appear on "Your World With Neil Cavuto" (FoxNews being a channel that seeks to be fair and balanced instead of to support Obama, either overtly or covertly).

A Fox producer whom I did not know emailed me, "Hi Mike – I saw your column 'Blame ACORN for Financial Crisis' – would be interested in having you on our show today during the 4pm est hour on this topic. Would you be available? Let me know! Thanks!"

Be assured that it was the substance of the article that attracted interest. Yes, I had been invited to appear (and appeared) as a guest on Neil Cavuto's show once, because an article of mine protesting eBay auctioning consecrated Communion wafers had been noticed, but that was years ago.

The surprise (to most, but not all) House defeat of the proposed rescue or bailout plan kept Mr. Cavuto focused on the current politics of the crisis instead of its origin and the ACORN/Obama relationship, but count on Fox News to focus on them after the revised plan is approved.

Email reaction to my article was uniformily positive. (The Obama supporters who send vile email either weren't paying attention or wisely opted not to give me ammunition.)

Example: A contract specialist with the United States Army Medical Materials Center in Germany emailed to thank me for posting the article and to tell me that he had forwarded a copy to Rush Limbaugh because Rush was saying "the exact same thing."

THAT is really bad news for Obama and ACORN!

I posted a follow up article entitled "Beware Obama, 'The Senator from ACORN."

A pleased New Yorker emailed: "This is great, if only the truth could get out there! Americans need to understand it was not Bush, McCain or the Republican's that caused this mess. It is time for the Democracts to finally be held responsible for what they have done. We need McCain and Palin to read a list of these facts off during the debates!!!!!"

That lady is right!

A Missourian queried:

"Why is it that most of the USA does NOT know the facts about ACORN? Also,why are you NOT on FoxNews having the opportunity to tell the truth to America?

"I, for one, would sure like to see this happen."

I have faith that FoxNews will publicize those facts...and I'd like to see Stanley Kurtz, a senior fellow with the Ethics and Public Policy Center and a contributing editor to National Review Online, who had researched and written on this matter, sharing the fruits of his labor on every news program.

A deeply concerned American working in Canada emailed:

"Excellent piece in Web commentary. There is also a good history of the current mortgage crisis in the Pittsburgh Tribune - Review (Sept. 29) – 'Roots of Rotten Mortgages'.

"I'm sorry to say that these facts need to be reiterated on a DAILY basis. Otherwise, the fox, who has been killing the chickens will get elected as king of the coop.

"The math is relatively simple:

"Democratic Party + Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac x Obama + ACORN = financial meltdown

"Thanks for your thoughts and expertise... YOU MUST KEEP SHARING THEM UNTIL ELECTION DAY. Work the media if you can... radio... tv!"

He added, very thoughtfully: "I would be interested to see the number of foreclosures in those areas where ACORN has been active."

So would I!

"Marianne" emailed: "Thank you Mr. Gaynor. I found this very very enlightening. Reading this, I believe I have made up my mind. I have been against Obama from the very beginning. I thank you again very much for this information!!!"

There are plenty of great reasons to be against Obama and his Far Left extremist ACORN allies!

At the 2008 Republican National Convention, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani made a very basic point: "There is good change and there is bad change."

Likewise, there are good community organizers and bad community organizers.

ACORN's history needs to be known, not kept a mystery.

O hope that this will do some good, however, with the new bailout bill that has just passed against much oposition, it seems that nothing we do makes a difference.
