Sentencing ACORN

I had a piece in Front Page Magazine about the sentencing of ACORN.

Here's the top of it:

After more than 40 years of waging war against America’s democratic institutions, the lawless ACORN gang has finally been brought to justice.
Sort of.
ACORN, the organization that brought Americans the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (the “Motor Voter” law), which makes election fraud a breeze, was sentenced for felony voter fraud in Las Vegas last week.
The nonprofit group famous for turning graveyards across the nation into Democratic strongholds, had previously pleaded guilty to unlawful compensation for registration of voters, a crime in Nevada.
Significantly, this is the first time ACORN itself, as opposed to its individual workers, has been convicted of a crime.
The court fined ACORN $5,000, the maximum allowed under state law. ACORN will probably end up paying nothing for its crimes. When the group filed bankruptcy last November, it declared assets of less than $4,000 against liabilities exceeding $4 million.
Prosecutors said the higher-ups in the group knew two senior ACORN executives were involved in a criminal conspiracy in which voter registration canvassers were illegally offered cash bonuses upon reaching the magic number of 21 registrations in a day.
In what appears to be an inside joke, ACORN officials in the gambling capital of America called the incentive program “Blackjack.” [...]

America needs to know that ACORN is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012. Obama used to work for ACORN and represented the group in court as its lawyer. These radical leftists who use the brutal, in-your-face, pressure tactics of Saul Alinsky want to destroy America as we know it and will use any means to do it.
