Shocker: Obama’s Political Director Tied To Election Law Violations
Violations that resulted in fines of roughly $775,000 for, among other things, using felons (rapists and murders) as door-to-door activists who handled sensitive personal information.
And after that happened? Obama hired him to work in the White House, naturally.
In 2008 Barack Obama hired Patrick Gaspard, a top official of the powerhouse New York-based healthcare workers union 1199, an SEIU affiliate and the largest local union in the country. In 2004, Patrick Gaspard Served As National Field Director For 527 Organization America Coming Together, a group that was later fined $775,000 in civil penalties by the federal government.
ACT hired dozens of felons some convicted of sex offenses, assault and burglary – to conduct door-to-door voter registration drives in Missouri and at least two other swing states. America Coming Together employed felons as voter canvassers in major metropolitan areas in Missouri, Florida, Ohio and perhaps in other states among the 17 it targeted in its drive. Some of the felons lived in halfway houses, and at least four returned to prison.
Seven of the ACT employees lived at Missouri halfway houses and at least four returned to prison. Because of this the Missouri Department Of Corrections banished ACT from its pool of potential employers for parolees, saying, “They did not want offenders handing sensitive personal information.” The names of two of the ACT employees even matched those of people convicted of murder and rape. ACT was also good at getting the dead voters signed up in time for the election.
Ayers. Dhorn. Wright. Rezko. All of his failed cabinet nominations. And add this to his list of scandal-plagued czars.
At what point can we start to question Obama’s judgment?
