Choose ACORN. Make millions of wingnut heads explode with aneurysms. Win-win-win.

ACORN's a good option, as are charities which run socialist reeducation camps and take away people's guns.

Acorn's an excellent idea. $1.4mil will register a lot of voters in swing districts.

You want to see GAZILLIONS of wingnut heads explode? He should donate the money to a charity that aids military families.

SUPER idea, and so appropriate; from their Commander in Chief no less...

It may just be a great trump card, too, cuz' how's the wingnuttery contingent going to trash that?

At least ONE of them will try. Maybe Obama should do a match-challenge, and encourage Hannity, Beck, Malkin and the Lump to join the public and contribute to the same cause, to match his contribution.

Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund Veterans Charity gets a super rating from the charity watchdog groups, here's their website.

They actually quote the President on the front page, so they clearly respect them as commander in chief.
