I’m blogging from the Bright Hope Baptist Chuch in North Philadepphia. It’s across the street from Temple University. ACORN is hosting a candidate forum. Three presidential aspirants will be speaking shortly (and you can stream it at that second link above). Hillary is speaking at 2:45, followed by Dennis Kucinich at 3:30, and John Edwards at 4:30.
We’ve already heard from Rep. Chaka Fattah and Democratic mayoral nominee Michael Nutter. I thought they both made strong speeches. In fact, I’ve never seen Fattah do a better speech.
If you don’t know about ACORN and the work they do, you should take some time to find out and maybe send them a check. If you care about poverty and housing, you can’t do much better than supporting ACORN.
