Cater picks up endorsement from radical group

Baltimore City Mayoral candidate Delegate Jill P. Carter picked up the endorsement of the PAC for the radical group Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). ACORN is the brain child of Wade Rathke an organizer for the National Welfare Rights Organization. ACORN fights for workers rights and living wages.

Recently ACORN has been at the center of serious voter fraud cases in Kansas City, Seattle, and Ohio. In March 2003 The NLRB found that ACORN, friend of labor, had fired two employees for daring to speak to SEIU about organizing. In 1995 ACORN filed suit in California seeking to exempt itself from the state’s minimum wage requirements.

With endorsements like this, who needs political opponents.
