I am reposting this because of spelling errors and other edits. I think it is important to cite "FightTheSmears.com" in the video to back up my claims, and I reworded some text to make it go more smoothly. This is an important issue, and it is really taking off; so I thought I would polish it up and make a better presentation. Thanks for the support! Fight The Smears!!

2. ACORN was one of the groups targeted by Gonzales
Gonzales tried to use the Justice Department to go after ACORN in his quest for the Unicorn (the myth of voter fraud).

From ACORN's website:

This has nothing to do with “voter fraud” – nothing at all to do with anyone trying to cast an extra vote. There has never been a single reported instance in which bogus registration forms have led to anyone voting improperly. To do that, they would have to show up at the polls, prove their identity as all first-time registrants must, and risk jail. The people who turned in these forms did so not because they wanted an extra vote, but because they didn’t care enough to make sure eligible people got to vote at all.
