ACORN Pushes Back, Hugs McCain

The beleaguered Democratic-leaning community group Acorn sends over this 
photograph: John McCain, in March of 2006, sitting beside Florida Rep. 
Kendrick Meek at an event Acorn co-sponsored in Florida.

The immigration event, which other photos show was packed with red-shirted 
Acorn members, was co-sponsored by the local Catholic Archdiocese, the 
SEIU, and other groups.

McCain, still spiting much of his party on immigration at the time, was 
the headliner.

Bertha Lewis, Acorn's chief organizer, said in a statement that came with 
the photo, “It has deeply saddened us to see Senator McCain abandon his 
historic support for ACORN and our efforts to support the goals of low-
income Americans."

”We are sure that the extremists he is trying to get into a froth will be 
even more excited to learn that John McCain stood shoulder to shoulder 
with ACORN, at an ACORN co-sponsored event, to promote immigration 
reform," she said.

students are not very active in local elections (thank goodness!)."
