Obama worked with ACORN voter project: "During the 2008 presidential campaign, Democratic Party candidate Barack Obama met with ACORN leaders and reminded them of his history with ACORN and his work in Project Vote!
In 1992, while he was working as a community organizer in Chicago, Obama headed the Chicago operations of Project Vote!, an ACORN effort to register voters nationally.
'I came out of a grassroots organizing background,' Obama bragged on his campaign website 'Fight the Smears,' in a section that apparently has been removed. 'That's what I did for three and a half years before I went to law school. That's the reason I moved to Chicago to organize.'
Eager to let the ACORN audience know he was one of them, Obama went on to specify: 'So this is something that I know personally, the work you do, the importance of it. I've been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registrations drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.'"
