GEARHEART CALLS FOR RAHALL TO EXPLAIN ACORN VOTE

On Thursday [17 Sept 09] West Virginia's 3rd District Congressman voted to continue federal funding to ACORN. There have been allegations leveled against ACORN of embezzlement, voter registration fraud, and misconduct by its workers. Most recently ACORN employees have been filmed at multiple locations offering unethical advise regarding home loans, tax evasion, and how to disguise the identities of underage illegal alien sex workers.

3rd District Congressional challenger Marty Gearheart is publicly asking Mr. Rahall to explain how his vote is in the best interest of our state or nation and how it fits within the value structure held my the majority of West Virginians.

Gearheart stated, "This vote by Nick is an insult and embarrassment to every man, woman, and child living in the 3rd Congressional District and the Congressman must tell voters why he would cast a vote in favor of an organization with this kind of record."


Marty Gearheart was the 2008 Republican Nominee for the 3rd District Congressional Seat from West Virginia and is a declared candidate in 2010.
