With Election Day approaching, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), finds itself in the cross hairs. Over the past year and a half, ACORN has helped 1.3 million mostly young, mostly poor people register to vote. Then, last week, ACORN was thrust into the national spotlight when the McCain campaign accused it of engaging in fraudulent voter registration on a massive scale. We host a debate between ACORN chief organizer Bertha Lewis and Cleta Mitchell, a Republican attorney specializing in election law.
After hearing this podcast, I was compelled to donate to ACORN, the single largest non profit for middle to low income citizens in the country, specifically to help them with their efforts to register largely disenfranchised voters across the United States.
Even better, when donating to ACORN here you can specify the donation in someone's name. I donated in the name of Cleta Mitchell, the loud mouth republican thug that was so abrasive and classically singing from the Republican song book with regard to voter suppression to win elections that it made me want to throttle her.
So on the ACORN donation form, you can enter her name, and you can even use the form to automatically email her to tell her that you just donated to ACORN in her name. Her email address is cmitchell@foley.com.
