"Many states have passed laws that go beyond the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA) and require additional, unnecessary identification either at registration or voting. These restrictions hinder American citizens’ efforts to exercise their responsibility to participate in elections. These laws include requirements such as proof of citizenship, government-issued photo ID’s, any kind of photo ID, or a broad range of ID’s not necessarily including a photo."--ACORN.org
Shouldn't the people of the United States be required to show an ID comparable to that which they would have to show at the store, driving a car, or any other privilege in the U.S.? If you are old enough to vote, you are old enough to drive, old enough to show ID for cigarettes, old enough to be in the military where the ID is critical, and old enough for other privileges, including that of voting during elections.
As we look at the United States and its money debt, shouldn't we look also at the debt in common sense, in honesty, in integrity, and in all other moral and ethical standards? ACORN is an entity that seems to have its own agenda for the country. Why would anyone want their affiliation to be extended to ACORN?
Well, in looking closer, although this should not surprise anyone who reads this, Obama has strong ties to ACORN. Although the Obama camp would like to keep distance from ACORN and say that Obama only worked on a lawsuit on behalf of ACORN in 1995, the connection runs much deeper.
ACORN is a key modern successor of the radical "New Left" 1960's organization. They are an organization hell-bend on entrenching America in their anti-capitalism agenda. Owning its roots to the National Welfare Rights Organization, they were disruptive from the word "go". Their initial desire was to create a "radical reconstruction of America's unjust capitalist economy" by removing eligibility restrictions on welfare causing the system to burst.
While those desires were based in the early years of ACORN's past, they are no less in-your-face today. Again, why would anyone want their affiliation to be extended to ACORN? Maybe that is why the Obama camp is attempting to down-play his affiliation to ACORN. However, with affiliations to Ayers, Wright, Hamas, and others, don't you think that, following being elected as the next President of the United States of America, Obama would revert to his old ways? Not only would he raise taxes and give rebates to people who dwell in this country who don't pay any taxes at all, he may even revert to the ACORN ways of municipal "living wage" laws, rolling back welfare reform, and regulating banks (veiled as combating "predatory lending").
Do we really want a socialist society? Obama's programs will create a society that is literally removed from most of its constitutional freedoms.
What is a socialist society? Wikipedia describes socialism as
"...a broad set of economic theories of social organization advocating state or collective ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and the creation of an egalitarian society.[1][2] Modern socialism originated in the late nineteenth-century working class political movement. Karl Marx posited that socialism would be achieved via class struggle and a proletarian revolution which represents the transitional stage between capitalism and communism.
"Socialists mainly share the belief that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital, and creates an unequal society. All socialists advocate the creation of an egalitarian society, in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly"
"My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody ... I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody." --Obama, October 2008
"The truth is, in order to get things like Universal Health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more"--Michelle Obama, April 8, 2008
Do we really desire to change the United States of America into a socialist society?
