An Acorn Whistleblower Testifies in CourtBy JOHN FUND
OCTOBER 30, 2008 <--- what was that 2 weeks before the election. Ah yes the late desperate RNC push against ACORN
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122533169940482893.htmlMs. MonCrief testified that in November 2007 Project Vote development director Karyn Gillette told her she had direct contact with the Obama campaign and had obtained their donor lists. Ms. MonCrief also testified she was given a spreadsheet to use in cultivating Obama donors who had maxed out on donations to the candidate, but who could contribute to voter registration efforts. Project Vote calls the allegation "absolutely false."
Ms. MonCrief, 29, never expected to testify in a case brought by the state's Republican Party seeking the local Acorn affiliate's voter registration lists. An idealistic graduate of the University of Alabama, she joined Project Vote in 2005 because she thought it was empowering poor people. A strategic consultant for Acorn and a development associate with its Project Vote voter registration affiliate, Ms. MonCrief sat in on policy-making meetings with the national staff.
She was fired early this year over personal expenses she had put on the group's credit card.
