What is ACORN




What is ACORN?


What my understanding of ACORN is, ACORN is a nonprofit group that supports low income people getting them interested in voting. In a particular article I read called The Acorn Story John McCain's campaign accused them of committing voter fraud in which they purposely submitted false registration forms, with fictional names and some with voters who were already registered.
Barack Obama strayed away from the ACORN associations but also displayed the insignificant of the fraud controversy that has troubled the organization in recent days. Obama stated "My relationship to ACORN is pretty straightforward.... "We've got the best voter registration and turnout and volunteer operation in politics right now and we don't need Acorn's help."
In a Baltimore meeting organized by William Cole a represented from Baltimore scheduled a meeting to address concerns of low-income tenants whose company, Edgewood Management, has been unresponsive to their requests to address neglected unfair evictions and threats of eviction. To some people acorn is good programing helping others but some people seem to think other wise. so what is ACORN? if you know comment back because even reading these articles I'm still confused.
