Had to get an article on this radical left wing organization steeped in voter fraud started. Please feel free to beef up with info.
Great start but it is word for word Wikipedia. Unfortunately, it will have to be removed. It is against CP policy rightfully so. --Jpatt 20:50, 8 October 2008 (EDT)

Wikipedia is not copyrighted. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights which says, "The Wikimedia Foundation does not own copyright on Wikipedia article texts and illustrations. It is therefore useless to email our contact addresses asking for permission to reproduce content. Permission to reproduce content under the license and technical conditions applicable to Wikipedia (see below and Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks) has already been granted to everyone without request..."
And, from Wikipedia's article on Conservapedia: "Wikipedia's co-creator Jimmy Wales said about Conservapedia that "free culture knows no bounds" and "the reuse of our work to build variants [is] directly in line with our mission."[56]"
Is there still a problem? Conservapedia MUST have an article on ACORN.
