      Oh, I’m a foreigner too but I follow US politics too much. ACORN was an organization that helped people register to vote.

      When Obama was running … people were calling him a terrorist. So it was called a terrorist organization and then accused Obama or using it to produce widespread voter fraud. Then Breitbart did some piece that was edited to make them look even worse. Long story short … it was harassed and then financially collapsed.
