SO do we have organizational strength to step up in ACORN's place
right now to handle voter registration? People, focus. There will be an election down the road and we need to organize now. Get something in place.

1. Another option
As usual the Republicans/conservatives have tried to label a word as bad in this case 'ACORN'. How about they just change the name to something not so easily. Still do the same work just get rid of the label. I know that is sort of knuckling under to the right wing but the work is the important part not the name.

2. I don't care how it is done, just that there is some quick turn around
and not the foot dragging and hemming and hawing that we tend to engage in so often. This is an important commitment to make to the voters.

3. Acorn could solve many of its PR problems by changing its name to Blackwater

And it would be the best joke on Republicans in the last 100 years.
