According to a HISTORY of the SIEU written by Kieth Kelleher, the Head Organizer of the Local 880 of the SIEU, this local SIEU, which helped Obama get into office at the State level and then for his Senate race,  is in fact an outgrowth of ACORN. The PDF report is here, however I have saved it in case it disappears. http://www.justlabour.yorku.ca/volume12/pdfs/01_kelleher_press.pdf

This is a DIRECT link between the SEIU and ACORN, which is documented further in this article, and the two organizations shared an office in Chicago, where President Obama, as an “organizer” worked with the Local 880, with Wade Rafke as its treasurer, when he came to Chicago in 1995.

The SEIU endorsed President Obama and he spoke very fondly, and specifically, of his ties to this ACORN “offshoot”:

Obama describes what he did as a community organizer:
When I was a young organizer, I had just moved to Chicago. I started with working with SEIU Local 880, home health care workers, to make sure that they were registered to vote. I had a say in the politics in Illinois. When I went to the state legislature, I worked with Tom Balanoff in SEIU to make sure that children who didn’t have health care received it. And we made sure that hospitals report on the quality of care, the staffing ratios that they had set up, and now we’re working together at the federal level to make sure that all Americans, not just some Americans, are allowed to prosper.

Obama ties to SEIU and Acorn Deepen- Did he also help trigger the mortgage collapse?-  Bill Collier- An American Freedomist

Working out of SEIU office, 880, at the time shared by Acorn, with Wade Rathke as the acting treasurer, Barack Hussein Obama joined with a group of lawyers in an attempt to shake down Citibank.

According to public records, plaintiffs filed their class action lawsuit on July 6, 1994, alleging that Citibank had engaged in redlining practices in the Chicago metropolitan area in violation of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), 15 U.S.C. 1691; the Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. 3601-3619; the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution; and 42 U.S.C. 1981, 1982. Plaintiffs alleged that the defendant-bank rejected loan applications of minority applicants while approving loan applications filed by white applicants with similar financial characteristics and credit histories. Plaintiffs sought injunctive relief, actual damages, and punitive damages.

This case has received a good deal of press and blogger attention because one of the plaintiffs’ lawyers was Barack Obama, then just a couple of years out of law school.

U.S. District Court Judge Ruben Castillo certified the plaintiffs’ suit as a class action on June 30, 1995. Buycks-Roberson v. Citibank Fed. Sav. Bank, 162 F.R.D. 322 (N.D. Ill. 1995). Also on June 30, Judge Castillo granted Plaintiffs’ motion to compel discovery of a sample of Defendant-bank’s loan application files. Buycks-Roberson v. Citibank Fed. Sav. Bank, 162 F.R.D. 338 (N.D. Ill. 1995).

The parties settled the case on May 12, 1998, with an agreement that provided for waiver of some fees for class members, should they reapply for a loan, and also for various procedures to ensure that Citibank followed its own loan policies in a race neutral way.  They count on corporations settling rather than facing lengthy litigation.

Here are the lawyers listed in the legal briefs, including Barack Hussein Obama:

Citibank was forced to pay the lawyers, including Barack Hussein Obama, $950,000 plus they were forced to loosen loan requirements which led directly to the mortgage crisis.  This was part of the strategy to overwhelm the system, to bankrupt the system in an attempt to create a crisis.

In 2007 Obama “rocked the house” at an SIEU events

:http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2007/09/highly_caffeinated_and_unusual.php

According to the article, “SEIU’s members are temperamentally suited to Obama; he is a longtime friend of Chicago’s SEIU Local 880 and worked closely with the union as an organizer and later as a state legislator.”

Also the article include this:

“But the real key in passing universal health care is the ability to bring people together in a process that is open and transparent and builds real consensus, and I’ve got a track record of doing that.”

Obama implied that one of his opponents in the Democratic primary, John Edwards was a Johnny-come-lately.

“I’ve spent my entire adult life working with SEIU. I’m not a newcomer to this,” Obama said. “I didn’t suddenly discover SEIU on the campaign trail. Oh, y’all organize. You wear purple, do you?” he said, referring to the spirit color the SEIU has chosen.

The article says that Obama was well known to have worked with Local SIEU 880 which has SHARED offices with ACORN in Chicago where, apparently, Obama worked in SOME capacity as an organizer.

SEIU Local 880 and ACORN in Chicago (at 650 S. Clark Street, Chicago). Additionally, the National ACORN Housing Corporation is located at this address.

In a 2005 report ACORN’s office noted that the SEIU, which shared its local office, was a “sister union.”

(I have saved the repot in case it is deleted)

According to NPR, SEIU was founded by now discredited ACORN founder Wade Rafke.http://theunionnews.blogspot.com/2008/10/npr-exposes-acorn-seiu-connection.html

In 2002 the People’s Weekly detailed how the Local 880 of the SEIU and ACORN worked closely together.http://www.pww.org/article/articleview/1539/

As it says in the article, “ACORN and SEIU work together throughout the nation, representing how progressive organizations can form alliances, to ensure our joint success.”

De-Shielding Europe, Surrendering To Russian Aggression

The Russians want the US to NOT put missile defense assets into Poland and the Czech Republic because this would render their ability to intimidate Eastern  Europe which they occupied for nearly 50 years in a tyranny that costs tens of millions of innocent lives, slaughtering more people than the Nazis. A UK Newspaper, the UK Telegraph, calls this a shameful surrender and an act of betrayal to those allies, who stood for this missile defense even in the face of threats of military attack by Russia. The Article is here: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/nilegardiner/100010237/barack-obama-surrenders-to-russia-on-missile-defence/

 Reid’s Double-Speak,  Questions Baucus Health Care Bill, Threatens To Cram It Through

Senate Majority Leader: Wants Health Care That “Benefits” Nevada,  But Threatens to Us ILLEGAL Maneuver to Pass Health Care

 

In an article in the Las Vegas Sun (Here –à http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2009/sep/16/harry-reid-health-care-bill-wont-work-nevada/) Harry Reid is supposed to be saying that he will not bring a health care bill to the senate floor that is not “good for Nevada.” While the article focuses on this as a sign that the Baucus Bill is in trouble, Reid says in the article that Baucus has promised him that “the bill will be improved for Nevada.” Reid’s primary “objection”, for the cameras, was that the bill would increase the amount of money the state would have to spend on  Medicaid.  Meanwhile, Reid is threatening to cancel the October break, breaks are often used by members of Congress to meet with constituents, over deadlock on funding the federal government, and has been in the news saying that he would use “reconciliation”, a procedure  only allowed for budgetary items, that circumvents the normal 60 vote threshold needed to vote on a bill. It is ILLEGAL to use this procedure for anything other than funding even as it is is ILLEGAL for the Senate to “initiate” ANY spending Bill of ANY kind.

 

 Cass Sunstein’s  ENEMY LIST BOTS: Using methods from his book, Nudge, Cass Sunstein, the controversial and anti-Constitutionalist zealot for state control over the media, is evidently behind a White House program that collects comments from private citizen’s web sites, social networking sites (Twitter, FaceBook, Myspace, etc.) which includes content, identities, web addresses, and etc.  According to this article in the Washington Times (Here –à http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/sep/16/obama-wh-collects-web-users-data/)  the White House has hired a private contractor to go out and COLLECT data by using a “bot” to “crawl” the web for comments and remarks  and then archives the information, which would include not merely the content but identification of IP addresses, web addresses, author names, and contact information. In short,  these Sunstein Enemy List Bots are going OUTSIDE the White House’s website and using taxpayer dollars to pay a PRIVATE company to collect information for an enemies list that identities opposing content and the people who produce such content.

 Obama Is Responsible for Marine Deaths

Repeating the mistakes of the Vietnam War, President Obama, who continues to delay action on a request for more troops, is micromanaging the war against the Taliban in Afghanistan with rules of engagement that delay reaction time and are now leading to American and allied deaths. Michelle Malkin has covered this here –à http://michellemalkin.com/2009/09/16/report-rules-of-engagement-led-to-soldiers-death/. The four marines fell to the enemy and died because of President Obama’s insistence on “rules of engagement” that caused a request for artillery support to be denied. Despite the desparate situation, the artillery support was withheld for fear of “civilian casualties.” IN the end, the Marines withdraw, after losses, and the Taliban gained ground.  The Taliban are notorious for random killings of civilians, using children as human shields, placing weapons in private homes and small villages, even forcing people to allow them, and killing any known opponent of their version of radical Islam.

The OBAMEDIA Becomes The Ministry of Propaganda and Enlightenment

President Obama’s media team inside the White House includes men like Cass Sunstein  (Here à http://www.newsmax.com/politics/obama_sunstein_websites/2009/08/05/244336.html) and Mark Lloyd (Here -à http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/53195). These men, and their allies in ABC, NBC, CBS, the AP, the New York Times, and most if the “News Media”, have a view of speech and information that is in tune with the view held by Hugo Chavez.  Indeed, Obama continues to support Mark Lloyd who PRAISES the way Hugo Chavez “managed” the media. Chavez’s “management” equated to shutting down all opposition and nationalizing all major media outlets, a policy both Lloyd and Sunstein, approve of.

 In the past, the propagandists for the left were able to say anything they liked without challenge, something Dan Rather discovered they could no longer do when he tried to smear President Bush with faked documents in a knowing attempt to affect a national election,. Another trick they enjoyed using with great success was to IGNORE or bury a story. Back in the early 1980’s Christian singer Steve Taylor once opined in a song titled “Meat the Press” that “A Christian can’t get equal time unless he’s a loony committing a crime.”

 In a NewsMax piece (here-à http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/acorn_media_beck_fox/2009/09/16/261056.html) David Patten gives a factual report, with proof, of how the Obamedia is playing by the OLD rules whereby they could underplay or not report on something and thereby bury it. From the ACORN scandal to the almost 2 million protestors in Washington DC who oppose Big Government IN PRINCIPLE as an inherently BAD idea, the Obamedia has tried to “bury” anything that shows anything potentially negative about Obama and his allies while keeping their readers and viewers from learning about the full extent of the opposition, whom the Obamedia, at the behest of operatives who have a presence in government, business, and the Obamedia,  either ignores or slanders.
