The reason they are verifying voter registration is because the Obama campaign along with ACORN (Association of Community Organizations Reform Now) for which Obama previously worked as a community organizer are being investigated &amp;amp; charged with voter fraud.  Milwaukee's top election officials are seeking criminal charges against ACORN for offering gifts to sign up voters, falsify driver's licenses numbers, Social Security numbers, and other information on voter registration cards.  ACORN has child rapists, drug offenders, and forgery convicts on their payroll who are being PAID to vote for Obama by registering the felons (who are ineligible to vote) using DEAD PEOPLES NAMES AND VACANT FORECLOSED HOMES for legal addresses.  The Obama campaign has admitted they failed to report $800,000 in campaign payments TO ACORN disguised as payments to a front group called "Citizens Services Inc." for "advanced work". Now with a wave of his magic wand Obama amended his Federal Election Commission forms to change the "advanced work" to "get-out-the-vote" work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Who is guilty of voter fraud and trying to "fix" this election in their favor?  And say again why the GOP should not be allowed to verify that EVERY voter is legally registered to vote, are able to provide identification, and are not felons and non-US citizens illegally registered using a deceased person's identity &amp;amp; vacant foreclosed homes as their address???&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wake up people....you are being fooled and used by Obama &amp;amp; the Democratic Party and they fuel you by making you believe it is about "racial discrimination"!!!!  Please take a little time to learn the facts &amp;amp; find the truth.  You are about to put yourself, your children, your friends, neighbors, &amp;amp; the entire United States in grave danger if you don't!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">TheAudacity</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 12 Sep 2008 18:43:06 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Ads Obama needs</title><link>http://www.michiganmessenger.com/4287/ads-obama-needs#comment-2311027</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Oh by the way, part of McCains healthcare plan is to give you $5000 tax credit per year to you so you can pick your own affordable healthcare plan.  While regulating the insurance companies and making them compete to give you affordable rates, plans that cover what they should, &amp;amp; giving the decisions for your medical care back to you &amp;amp; your doctor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Imagine that!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">TheAudacity</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 12 Sep 2008 18:35:43 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Ads Obama needs</title><link>http://www.michiganmessenger.com/4287/ads-obama-needs#comment-2310998</link><description>&lt;p&gt;and McCain needs a healthcare ad that says "Are you willing to give up at least 50% of your income to pay for healthcare for your family AND for every other person in the US (legal citizens &amp;amp; illegal immigrants included)? Oh and by the way, it is really good healthcare system you are paying so much of your income for that you can't even afford to pay a mortgage for a home.  Just like Medicade, Medicare, &amp;amp; the VA hospital!  That is what Universal "socialist" Healthcare is, you know!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But Obama hasn't filled you in on that part yet. huh?&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">TheAudacity</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 12 Sep 2008 18:32:33 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Republicans recant plans to foreclose voters but admit other strategies</title><link>http://michiganmessenger.com/4231/republicans-recant-plans-to-foreclose-voters-but-admit-other-strategies#comment-2310858</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Let me tell you the other side of this that you will not hear in the mainstream liberal media.

You might want to find another news source besides this "blog" trying to pass as real news!  "Reporting" like this should have some limitations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080912/NEWS15/809120346" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080912/NEWS15/809120346"&gt;www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;GOP won't use foreclosure list to block voters&lt;br&gt;Macomb County party chair says blog is wrong&lt;br&gt;BY KATHLEEN GRAY AND AMBER HUNT • FREE PRESS STAFF WRITERS • SEPTEMBER 12, 2008&lt;br&gt;Read Comments(20) RecommendPrint this pageE-mail this articleShare this article:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Michigan Republicans will send thousands of challengers to polling places on Election Day, but party officials said they won't be using foreclosed home lists to contest voters.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Their comments followed allegations in a liberal blog, "The Michigan Messenger," that the Macomb County Republican Party would use foreclosure lists to challenge voters who no longer live in their foreclosed homes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rumors that Republicans were trying to keep people who had lost their homes from voting went viral on the Internet on Thursday as activists announced plans to rally outside Republican presidential candidate John McCain's Farmington Hills campaign office today to demand the resignation of James Carabelli, the Macomb County GOP chairman.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Carabelli flatly denied quotes attributed to him, saying he told a staffer for the blog that volunteers only would check to make sure that an address in a poll book matches the one the voter gives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The GOP is "absolutely not" gathering foreclosed home addresses for poll challenges, Carabelli said. He said the blog was "actually kind of shocking. It's completely untrue."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Michigan Republican Party also won't allow its challengers to use foreclosure lists, spokesman Bill Nowling said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"What does a name on a foreclosure list tell us? Nothing," Nowling said. "We go into the polling place with the qualified voter file and that is all."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A person's name and address on a foreclosure list doesn't mean he or she has left the home, Nowling said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Eartha Jane Melzer, who talked to Carabelli for the blog, said she stands by her story but didn't tape her interview.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"It could be that they're embarrassed at having such a cynical tactic exposed," she said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Under a new state law requiring voters to produce photo identification, poll challengers may check to see that the person voting matches the ID.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 2004, 4,276 Republican volunteers were challengers in 1,800 Michigan precincts. A similar effort will occur this year, Nowling said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Democrats and other organizations say the GOP challengers aim to intimidate and suppress the vote.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Contact KATHLEEN GRAY at 313-223-4407 or kgray99@freepress.com.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">TheAudacity</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 12 Sep 2008 18:08:34 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Lose your house, lose your vote</title><link>http://michiganmessenger.com/4076/lose-your-house-lose-your-vote#comment-2310586</link><description>&lt;p&gt;You HAVE the right to vote, wether you are black, white, asia, or purple, IF you are a US CITIZEN, not convicted of a FELONY, can provide LEGAL identification &amp;amp; address so you are registered to vote in ONE district (which is in place so you can only vote ONCE!)  This has absolutely nothing to do with race or people who have foreclosers on their homes!!!  It has EVERYTHING to do with VOTER FRAUD....not by the Republican Party.....but to protect against the voter fraud Obama, his campaign, and ACORN (Obama's former community organizer employer) have been criminally charged with.  REGISTERING FELONS AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO VOTE USING DEAD PEOPLES IDENTITIES &amp;amp; VACATE FORECLOSED HOMES AS THEIR LEGAL ADDRESS!!!!  The media sure can get you going when they spin something as "racial discrimination".  Don't believe me?  Why don't you get on the Internet and do some research on what your man Obama is really doing!  And while your at is ask yourself who is trying to evoke this anger, hatred, and moral outrage in you to their benefit?  (hint: you are going to vote for him NO MATTER WHAT!)&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">TheAudacity</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 12 Sep 2008 17:48:39 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Lose your house, lose your vote</title><link>http://michiganmessenger.com/4076/lose-your-house-lose-your-vote#comment-2307363</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Let me tell you the other side of this that you will not hear in the mainstream liberal media.
