ACORN, which stands for: Association of Community Organizations, has been accused of voter registration fraud all across this country. This group can be said to be engaged in corrupt shake-downs. However they get a pass on this from the news media and the government. Had an Italian engaged in these same practices, they would be charged under the RICO Act, (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act), and called the Mafia or Cosa Nostra.
Where this organization has engaged in voter registrations same people registered multiple times. The line up of the Texas football team, the Dallas Cowboys were registered to vote in Las Vegas, Nevada. One town had more people registered to vote than had voting age people in the population.
It has been reported that Senator Barack Obama while a community organizer worked for this organization. Basically if Senator Obama wins this election by a razor thin majority it could be said the election was won by Democratic Party voter fraud perpetrated by ACORN on their behalf. The only way to have a clean election to erase any appearance of voter fraud, the next president needs to win by a large majority.

OTTAWA — The Canadian Forces are using a controversial private security firm to train some of its troops sent to Afghanistan.
Select Canadian soldiers have been sent to Blackwater U.S.A. in North Carolina for specialized training in bodyguard and shooting skills. Other soldiers have taken counterterrorism evasive-driving courses with the private military company now at the centre of an investigation into the killings of Iraqi civilians and mounting concerns about the aggressive tactics of its workers in the field.
Critics of Blackwater label the firm as a mercenary organization and question why a professional military such as the Canadian Forces can’t do its own training in specialized areas.
The Ottawa-based counterterrorism unit, Joint Task Force 2, has also maintained ongoing training links to the company.
Military officials did not have further details on why Blackwater would be hired, but promised to provide those. Later, however, they did not comment on the matter.
Canadian Forces spokesman Lt.-Col. Jamie Robertson said the military does not discuss its special forces training. But he noted that Blackwater and other firms have been contracted to provide services for other units.
“The Canadian Forces has occasionally contracted companies to provide specialized training to our personnel in those cases when specialized training is not available within the Canadian Forces due to a range of factors, including the unavailability of training resources, expertise or specialized facilities and equipment,” said Robertson.
Still, Dawn Black, the NDP’s defence critic, questioned the need for Blackwater to be involved in training Canadian troops.
“My understanding is we have some of the best-trained forces in the world, and great trainers, so why do we need our armed forces personnel to be trained by a mercenary organization?”
A total dollar figure on what has been spent on Blackwater training was not available by press time, since training is contracted out individually on a unit-by-unit basis, said Robertson.
But he provided an example of one such contract: 18 members of the Strategic Advisory Team sent to Kabul went to Blackwater in June for a two-day course called hostile-environment defensive driver training. The cost was $29,000 which included accommodation and meals, as well as extra course time for two of the team members.
Minister of Public Safety Stockwell Day, when asked whether the training in Blackwater is appropriate, defended the Forces.
