Defunding, Not De-friending.
September 18th, 2009 at 6:29 am by MicheleYes, Congress voted to defund them., but ACORN is still on Obama’s official Organizing for America website. And why wouldn’t they be?
When Obama met with ACORN leaders in November, he reminded them of his history with ACORN and his beginnings in Illinois as a Project Vote organizer, a nonprofit focused on voter rights and education. Senator Obama said, “I come out of a grassroots organizing background. That’s what I did for three and half years before I went to law school. That’s the reason I moved to Chicago was to organize. So this is something that I know personally, the work you do, the importance of it. I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.”
His entire career.
If you haven’t seen this, it’s great. Burris has got true courage that rises from the conviction that underage illegal sex slavery is fine if it’s done for the greater good. Of course, if you’re a decent man, you don’t have to run.
