ACORN to McCain: Not This Time

We can’t let John McCain and his Republican allies continue to misrepresent ACORN’s efforts to register poor and minority voters as some kind of massive voter fraud campaign. Voter suppression has been a hallmark of the GOP’s electoral strategy for decades and now they’re trying to manufacture outrage against ACORN and other progressive organizations that work to bring more Americans into the electoral process. Check out this new ACORN ad fighting back:

21st Century Democrats is proud to support ACORN as they work to prevent voter suppression, promote civil rights and fight for economic justice. We we’re honored to present Katy Gall, of Ohio ACORN, with our 2008 Paul and Sheila Wellstone Award.

Update: Great information about the GOP’s attacks on voters in A Myth of Voter Fraud by Daphne Eviatar at the Washington Independent.
