(PRNewsChannel) / Raleigh, N.C. / Gregory Hall, founder of the newly formed Speaking Truth To Power campaign aimed at reforming ACORN for its members and organizers, offered the following comment reports that ACORN employee Endalyn Adams, 21, was charged with election fraud on Monday:
"This is clearly a nationwide pattern that can only be the result of a political machine directed from the top. The notion that Endalyn Adams is a 'rogue' canvasser is just absurd. She was just one of dozens of ACORN's operation tied to problematic voter registration cards.
"If people commit a crime, they need to be punished. And that includes ACORN's management. If investigators want to find the real problem, they should look at ACORN's executives and the corrupt system they have put into place that has jeopardized the security of our elections and the reputation of ACORN's honest and hard-working organizers.
"Investigators need to remember that there's a huge difference between the top executives of ACORN who have put this broken system into place and the group's hard-working community organizers and canvassers.
"Whether it's the recent revelations of $1 million embezzlement by top ACORN insiders or the wrongful reputation of fraud by being associated with ACORN's alleged voter fraud, ACORN's community organizers are being hurt and that's just not right.
"Prosecutors, along with Congress, need to investigate all potential election fraud tied to ACORN, but they need to be careful not to solely blame organizers for the alleged sins of a few fat cats running the group."
