Fired woman says ACORN ally had Obama donor list

HARRISBURG — A former employee of an affiliate of the community-activist group ACORN testified in a courtroom today that her group used Barack Obama’s campaign donor list to solicit contributions.

Anita Moncrief, formerly of Project Vote in Washington, testified at a Commonwealth Court hearing Wednesday on a state Republican Party lawsuit agaisnt ACORN. She said her group used the Obama list to target donors who had given the campaign the maximum allowed by law and wanted to contribute more.

Project Vote national spokesman Michael McDunnah denied Moncrief’s suggestion that the list came from the Democratic presidential nominee’s campaign.

Moncrief acknowledged Project Vote fired her in January for using its credit card for personal living expenses.
