Brave New Films and ACORN Release Video Attacking Vote Suppression

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- ACORN (the Association
of Community Organizations for Reform Now) released a video today, produced
by Brave New Films. This video calls attention to both the concocted
Republican issues of voter fraud and the Republican coordinated attempts at
voter suppression.

This video, which will be widely distributed via the web, is part of an
ongoing campaign by ACORN to set the record straight. The United States has
the lowest rate of voter participation of any western nation. Over the last
18 months, ACORN has waged a voter registration campaign, which
successfully helped enfranchise 1.3 million new voters. Recently the
McCain-Palin campaign, the Republican party and some sensationalist members
of the media, have been on a weeks-long campaign to discredit ACORN over
bogus allegations of "voter fraud." This video examines both the skewed
media attention and the real story of ACORN's voter registration program.
It also aggressively calls attention to the ongoing campaign of
suppression, which affects far more voters than anything recently covered
by the mainstream media.

ACORN (http://www.acorn.org ) is holding screening house parties in 17
cities around the country, including: Washington, DC, Boston, Springfield,
MA, Los Angeles, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Hartford,
Orlando, Houston, Dallas, Bridgeport, Detroit, Flint, Twin Cities and
Charlotte.
