For several weeks now, ACORN has been targeted by Republican politicians, late-night comedians, and mainstream media.  There are serious difficulties for the organization as a result, despite many years of hard work as a change-maker.

Currently, Rachel Maddow is running a series of segments investigating ACORN and mainstream media's handling of this issue (The Truth About ACORN).  They can be viewed on her website and on ACORN'S website.

ACORN

So, here's a pledge.

I pledge to visit ACORN'S website, view the Rachel Maddow segments, and reconsider ACORN.

If I choose, I pledge to join ACORN and help them continue to do the essential work they have been doing for so long.
