How ACORN Paved the Way for the Obama Regime and Socialized Health care


As patriots from across America prepare to descend on Washington, DC to protest the government takeover of health care, the Obama administration is touting the impending vote in the House of Representatives as “historic.” Progressive organizations have been preparing for the moment for decades and not even the outcry of millions of Americans will stop them from pushing their radical agenda through.

Ironically, the past week has been filled with numerous stories of how ACORN is disbanding across the country. News outlets from Politico to the New York Times run stories detailing the demise of ACORN. Of course, some are skeptical about whether ACORN is truly going away:

“In an age of lawlessness, rules for some out of government favor, and special privileges for special classes, racketeers and criminals need only change their suit and their hat and live another day to rob, steal, cheat, and engage in human trafficking… “

Conveniently for the Obama administration the “demise” of ACORN could not have come at a better time. As pictures of empty ACORN offices fill the news, Obama pushes forward with an ACORN planned and approved agenda.

In July of last year ACORN honored the work of Senator Charles Schumer, Rep. Luis Gutierrez and Rep. Maxine Waters at their 39th Anniversary celebration. The invitation email stated:

“P.S. ACORN’s grassroots leadership believes we are experiencing a once-in-a-generation opportunity and must not squander this moment. Your generosity is needed now more than ever. Thanks.”

ACORN’s socialist agenda has always included some form of universal health care and like many of its “campaigns” this is not the first time ACORN has pushed for national change. The group, which was founded in Arkansas 40 years ago, maintained friendly relations with Bill Clinton when he was Governor of Arkansas and then President. The result of this relationship was HillaryCare. Americans fought back and ACORN was forced to back down. However, ACORN was not defeated and began to put a set of conditions in place that in the right political climate, would ensure victory. Michelle Malkin explains a 2008 ACORN memo on why Obamacare is so important:

“Why do they want Obamacare? An internal ACORN memo I obtained from August 2008 makes the motives clear. ‘Over our 38 years, health care organizing has never been a major focus either nationally or locally for ACORN,’ wrote ACORN Philadelphia region director Craig Robbins. ‘But increasingly, ACORN offices around the country are doing work on health care.’ The goal: ‘Building ACORN Power.’ The memo outlines the ACORN/HCAN partnership and strategy of opposing any programs that rely on “unregulated private insurance” – and then parlaying political victory on government-run health care ‘to move our ACORN agenda (or at least part of it) with key electeds that we might otherwise not be able to pull off.’

The objective, in other words, is to piggyback and exploit Obamacare to improve and protect their political health.”


ACORN’s famous liberal experiments were never outwardly dubbed as socialist action items but within the ranks of employees we knew that what made ACORN great was “fighting capitalism.” By never using certain words with members and outsiders, ACORN painted a picture of the poor rising out of poverty and demanding their fair share. In 2006 ACORN partnered with SEIU on several healthcare campaigns across the country.

In California, home of Maxine Waters, ACORN’s healthcare campaign in San Francisco mirrors the same tactics used by Obama to pass Obamacare.

“Health: Last year (’05) we saved health clinics. This year we provided the field experience to win a form of universal healthcare. David Sharples staffed the leadership on the campaign with leader Gisselle Quesada. Using the tax program to survey people on health needs, we were able to build a quick base, identify members who could put a face on the problem, and move numerous members on multiple fronts to move the key supervisor and win the campaign.”

According to the 2006 report, ACORN has been working with hospitals to introduce “universal healthcare” at the local levels and that success was the precursor to Obamacare.

The excerpts above are from a 2006 report available here.

The report goes on to state that even ACORN’s non-profit affiliate Project Vote was somehow involved in healthcare

“Our issue-based GOTV program targeted some 686,796 people for an average of three contacts each. For example, Project Vote’s GOTV workers knocked on 396,273 doors in Ohio alone. Similar to our Voter Registration work, canvassers relate participation in the elections to salient issues in low- and moderate-income communities, such as healthcare…”

Critics on the left will state that it is a coincidence that ACORN and Obama’s old employer Project Vote are both advocating for government run healthcare, but all of the evidence suggests that Obama and Congress are settling debts with their old friends.

Before the ACORN embezzlement scandal and the prostitution videos ACORN was more open about its influence on Capitol Hill. The aforementioned 2006 report has another tidbit about the ACORN political machine:

Immediately after the 2006 mid-term elections when the Democrats took control of Congress members were made aware of who put them there. ACORN used its organizing and voter registration arms to set the stage for Obamacare. Newbies like Democrats Sherrod Brown and Claire Mccaskill were just as beholden to ACORN as long standing members of Congress from ACORN districts. The excerpt and screen shot can also be found in the 2006 report:

“Furthermore, we are working to make sure that key leaders in Congress fully understand the role that ACORN played in the 2006 elections: we are working collaboratively with the political department to ensure that the impact of our political work is widely known and appreciated.”

According to insiders, before the 2008 election ACORN and SEIU were so confident that Obama would win that a meeting in Santa Fe, New Mexico had an agenda that included a session entitled: Emerging Strategies III: Healthcare – Regime Change Priority with Richard Kirsch, Executive Director HCAN: Health Care for America Now

Regime Change?  A quick look at Wikipedia gives us an inkling as to what ACORN and SEIU are up to:

“In politics, a regime is the form of government: the set of rules, cultural or social norms, etc. that regulate the operation of government and its interactions with society. For instance, the United States has one of the oldest regimes still active in the world, dating to the ratification of its Constitution in 1789.

The term is also used to distinguish what is actually being enforced from what is considered legitimate. Enforcement of an unconstitutional statute would be a regime but not a law.

IIf one follows the money, one name (not surprisingly) emerges: George Soros. The Soros backed Democracy Alliance has pumped untold millions into groups that include ACORN and the architect of Obama’s permanent campaign (Organizing for America), Harold Ickes’s Catalist. The Democracy Alliance vision includes changing America through initiatives like health care.

With leftist billionaires lining up to ensure a permanent majority, the march towards socialism has been a well funded one.

“…George Soros and other wealthy liberals formed a loose-knit group to consider how to fund a political comeback. Their answer: Create a permanent political infrastructure of nonprofits, think tanks, media outlets, leadership schools, and activist groups—a kind of ‘vast left-wing conspiracy’ to compete with the conservative movement. The group they created –called the Democracy Alliance (DA)…”

Though the fall of ACORN was not anticipated, ACORN like the DA is a taxable nonprofit and its structure allows for such restructuring. Taxable nonprofit?  Matthew Vadum explains:

“Rob Stein explained the group’s legal structure to the Hudson panel:

‘It is a taxable nonprofit. Think of it as a corporation that does not make a profit and doesn’t aspire to make a profit. We’re an association of individuals….’

“In other words, the DA has no interest in asking the IRS to register it as tax-exempt or to allow contributions to it to be tax-deductible. Were the DA to request tax-exemption as a 501(c)(4) lobby group or as a 527 political group, it would have to abide by a dizzying array of legal constraints. Members of the Democracy Alliance may want to impose Big Government bureaucracy and red tape on Americans, but the friends of George Soros are too rich to be bothered.”

Was ACORN willing to go underground to save Obamacare? Is the Pope Catholic? ACORN’s own 5 Year Political Plan describes a structure that is local in nature and prides itself on being that way.

ACORN’s temporary fall from grace will allow it to go underground with the tacit support of the White House and use Obamacare to rally its base for a 2012 victory unless the ACORN roots of Obama’s socialist agenda are exposed.


The Plump Birdie Hasn’t Sang Yet


"It's Not Over Until It's Over"

HIGH CRIMES IN THE WHITE HOUSE


In a little over a year, we've seen a series of "High Crimes" committed right before our eyes.

CBO - Playing An Obama Game


Congressional Budget Office said Obama’s gestimate of saving a trillion over the next 10 years is highly speculative!  CBO doesn’t want to hang themselves, so they gave us a tentitave cost for the Healthcare Reform, because they don’t have a clue what all the “Fix Its” that will be added to the reform if passed may cost. 
 
CBO should have flatly refused Obama and gang when asked to figure cost on a skeleton bill that as Pelosi and Obama have said, no one, yes no one really knows what’s in the bill.  CBO had to do what the commander and chief ordered, but they know beyond any doubt that the figures they gave America today has nothing to do with anything.  This is but one more coverup for the Obama corruption!
 
My only questions to my fellow Americans is this:  (1) How does CBO figure costs on a skeleton bill, (2) Why did CBO even attempt to figure costs on a bill not completed, in fact not even on the table for a vote, and (3) Why would Americans consider anything that Obama and other Democrats proposes after our devastating experience with the “Stimulus Reform?”
 
Today, March 18th 2010, we’re in the hands of a few Democrats and hopefully they will stop this reform from being passed, for their Nation, their fellow Americans and their children.  It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know we’re being scammed by some of the biggest scammers in all of our Nations’ history. 
 
May God Bless America and those few Democrats who are holding our future in their hands. 

Americans Just Say “NO”


We’re listening to Obama and Pelosi’s rhetoric - all Americans including those without healthcare insurance are about to go under “The Big Arm of Government” if in fact this healthcare reform is passed.  Do we really want another huge burden for our children and the next generations to come?  It appears the Democrats think we are more than stupid; they think we’re unable to add 2 + 2.  Obama and gang want us to take on almost a trillion in debt, so we might be able to save 100 billion in the next 10 years. 
 
We’re broke, our homes are being foreclosed, our children’s education has been kicked to the curb, unemployment is at an all time high and the Democrats are trying to pull another armed robbery as I speak.  We will suffer from the stimulus package for many moons, a package that didn’t help Americans with jobs, unemployment and our fallen economy.  The package was shoved thru to help the outside special interest groups, the lenders, Freddie, Fannie, Aig - but not American citizens.  America do we really want to go for two of the worst reforms in all of our Nations’ history (the simulus bill and healthcare reform?)
 
Americasn have spoken, they don’t want this Healthcare Reform that is full of sweatheart deals, robbing Medicare and our senior citizens, harming all businesses regardless of size and increasing our taxes.  My prayer for today is this:  hopefully some honest, responsible Democrats will not so gently place this bill on the ancient history shelves for

The “Snuckers” Are Back


Don't miss the "Snuckers," they're back.

Grandmother’s Letter to Pelosi


Dear Nancy,

There are many things on my mind about your political shananigans and it is my opinion that you aren’t in tune with your country or fellow Americans.  To watch you in action is like watching a bad horror movie - when the mouth opens it’s a good bet that one more untruth will come spieling out.  I’m of the opinion there is so many untruths under your skirts, that you wouldn’t recognize the “truth” if it hit you in the fanny.

Falsehoods are a way of life for you and spending taxpayers money doesn’t cause you to lose any sleep at night.  You’ve expressed disgust with the tea parties, town hall meetings and insinuate daily that we (Americans) are clueless and rather stupid.  You’ve lost your way in politics and hopefully you’ll pack your bags and move out of the White House.  Let’s look at but a few of your shady mistruths…

You lied about the CIA briefing in 2002 and had the nerve to appear in front of our Nation and call CIA and the Bush Administration liars.  It takes one to know one, Pelosi and you probably could go down in the Guiness Book of Records as the biggest liar in all of American history with the exception of Obama. 

You lied about Massa and attempted to dodge that bullet, but it really didn’t work Nancy.  But, why discuss the past, let’s get to the present and discuss your many misrepresentations about Healthcare Reform.  Again, you have the guts to say that funding of abortion wasn’t in the health care reform and said Boehner’s statement was a lie.  Ben Nelsen was the one to disclose your blatant lies about abortion funding.  You state the reform will save taxpayers money and the cost attached to this bill hasn’t even been calculated yet!
Basically, you want a skeleton bill passed so you and your buds can doctor it up to suit yourselves.

 Lastly, you’ve lied many times about having the votes to pass the Healthcare Reform; all taxpayers know this is a lie or it would be a done deal.  So Nancy, now we hear from your lips, “just pass a bill, any ole bill will do” because no one knows what is in the bill anyway.

What a lie - the bill is probably etched on your fanny if truth were known.  Now Americans are hearing all of the devious alternatives that you and your watchdogs are jerking out of your hats in order to pass this reform.  Words, like reconciliation or deem and pass - this merely tells us another lie is in the pot.  There won’t be and up and down vote, if you can figure out how to prevent it!

So Pelosi, this grandmother of 70 has but one word for you  “liar.“  Thanks for listening, and by the way quit partying on our money, quit using our air force jet, quit lying and start acting like a proud citizen of the greatest country on earth. 

May God Bless America
