President Obama would never use his community outreach skills to extort campaign contributions from large corporations. No way! He paid ACORN $800,000 to do it for him… Washington Times
‘The "official" program is the name of the ACORN voter-registration drives. The Obama campaign paid an ACORN affiliate group more than $800,000 for these get-out-the-vote services during the primary race, though the expenditure was initially misrepresented to the Federal Election Commission as for "sound and lighting equipment," but later corrected.
The "unofficial" program collected payments to organize protests. For example, the Service Employees International Union hired ACORN to harass the Carlyle Group, a global private equity firm. Other paid protests targeted Sherwin-Williams, H&R Block, Jackson Hewitt and Money Mart, according to the testimony.
The protests then became a way to extract corporate donations.’
She testifies on Friday. Since it's been redirected at the Obama campaign, how much media attention do think it will get?
