Obama's Long Term Association with ACORN Obama's affiliation with ACORN sure raises a lot of questions such as the obvious--------How much is ACORN involved in Barrack Hussein Obama's campaign? How many current staff members are or have been members of ACORN? "Barrack Obama's Closet" -------published January 2007 pittsburghlive.com After a paragraph on Rezko and friends-----the writer of the article writes---- "But back in Chicago, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) is more important than Iraq or Washington. ACORN and its associated Midwest Academy, both founded in the 1970s, continue to train and mobilize activists throughout the country, often using them to manipulate public opinion through "direct action." It's sometimes a code for illegal activities. Prior to law school, Barack Obama worked as an organizer or their affiliates in New York and Chicago. He always has been an ACORN person -- meeting and working with them to advance their causes. Through his membership on the board of the Woods Fund for Chicago and his friendship with Teresa Heinz Kerry, Obama has helped ensure that they remain funded well. Since he graduated from law school, Obama's work with ACORN and the Midwest Academy has ranged from training and fundraising, to legal representation and promoting their work."
