We know now a few things:

— It took O’Keeffe and his people months before they found someone stupid enough to go along with their scheme.

— Through tapes released by the California AG, that ACORN officials acted appropriately when O’Keeffe came through their doors — even though O’Keeffe’s people claimed otherwise on TV.

— O’Keeffe later tried to bug a Senator’s office.

In other words, we know now that 95 percent of the stuff against ACORN was racially tinted bull. But this isn’t a story you’ll see widely covered in the media.

I know it’s inconvenient for a lot of people, but the poor deserve a voice in this country, too. No worry for you, however. I’m sure Republicans will find new ways to just hang out these people out to dry and carry on as before, and exclude those people from every entity.

No worry for you, however, I’m sure they’ll just hang out a new shingle with a different name and carry on as before. Shuffle those same people into a different entity.

A lot of organizations — some partisan, but not all — conduct register-to-vote drives. You’ll likely find Democratic drives in the Jefferson Street and East Nashville areas. You’ll likely find Republican drives in the Green Hills and Brentwood areas. A lot of those who need registering help are seniors who don’t drive. These people aren’t lazy — they need assistance.

Seems to me it is as easy as going down to the DMV when you renew your license and registering.

Oh wait, there is an easier way. Call the voting commission, they mail you the registration, you fill it out, mail it back, and BAM you are registered.

Thank you, ACORN, for spending federal dollars to help people that are too lazy. Thank you.
