And NPR (a LIBERAL news outlet) wouldn't have dedicated an entire segment to WHY ACORN shut down, even going into the prostitution scheme...Conservatives concocted a fake pimp story and used it to shut down ACORNFace the facts...So you're complaining that people don't like the "Obama Plan" (looting, burning down cities, and general terrorism) any more than they like voter fraud???Republicans will try to shut that down just like they did with ACORNMichelle Obama has a plan to get out the vote in 2020
It's been nearly two years since Michelle Obama founded her electoral participation initiative "When We All Vote." In that time, WWAV claims to have "organized 2,500 local voter registration events across the country, engaged 200 million Americans…www.mic.com
It's been nearly two years since Michelle Obama founded her electoral participation initiative "When We All Vote." In that time, WWAV claims to have "organized 2,500 local voter registration events across the country, engaged 200 million Americans online about the significance of voting, and texted nearly four million voters the resources to register and get out to vote" ahead of the 2018 midterms, but has been relatively quiet about the upcoming general election — until now.
Its great that this amazing woman wants to put back into the community by doing this. I suspect it might have more impact if she could engage with the republicans to make this happen. Surely there would be a role for Ivanka in encouraging people to get out and vote ?

ACORN Pleads Guilty to Voter Registration Fraud in Nevada
The defunct political advocacy group ACORN has pleaded guilty to one count of an election law violation in Las Vegas, Nevada.www.foxnews.com
ACORN responded to allegations in a conference call with reporters on October 16, 2008, saying the following:[7]
- "In most states, ACORN is required by law to turn in every voter registration card — even in cases where the cards are not valid."
- "Invalid voter registration cards do NOT constitute voter fraud. Even RNC General Counsel Sean Cairncross has recently acknowledged he is not aware of a single improper vote cast as a result of bad cards submitted in the course of an organized voter registration effort."
- "ACORN hired 13,000 field workers to register people to vote. In any endeavor of this size, some people will engaged in inappropriate conduct. ACORN has a zero tolerance policy and terminated any field workers caught engaging in questionable activity."
You say the Republicans "shut down" ACORN...
The fact is ACORN RAN OUT OF MONEY...
ACORN To Disband Amid Scandal, Money Woes
A spokesman for the community organizing group ACORN said Monday that the group is disbanding after 40 years. The decision comes six months after video footage emerged showing ACORN workers giving advice on how to conceal money made from prostitution. NPR's Pam Fessler talks to Robert Siegel.www.npr.org
If the story was fake, and didn't unmask exactly what ACORN was up to, they would have never been shut down.
