This is a scam. They do in fact, prey on the elderly. Do not send money, nor let your loved ones be taken in, and taken advantage of, by this horrific "organization". WHY these thieves are not shut down is simply amazing. The elderly, on fixed incomes and vulnerable, are their targets. Have they no shame or conscience?

This group has been hounding my mother with unsolicited letters asking for money. She is 80 years old and has the beginnings of dementia and we just realized she has been sending them checks. I agree with the other reviewers that say they prey on the elderly after seeing their onslaught of mail to my mom. I have written to them and demanded that they remove her name from their contact list immediately. Sadly this is just one of many "organizations" that take advantage of those who are easily influenced.

I am writing on behalf of my father who has been completely scared senseless by Judicial Watch. He has donated perhaps over a thousand dollars of money he cannot afford to spend because he believes JW is exposing corruption. Now that my dad is in assisted living, I see almost daily requests for MORE $ in the mail. These mailings are egregious and inflammatory. Their TOP 20 Worst Criminals list has one token Republican on it - come on!!! I completely agree they are preying on the fears of the elderly. I have repeatedly requested they remove us from their mailing list, and have just discovered they talked my dad into an Automatic Withdrawal from his checking account. I read their own founder sued them for misappropriation of funds - I hope the truth about JW comes out and they are shut down.

Have followed this organization for four years and believe that it is trying to be very fair about getting the elections to be fair and honest. If one doesn't believe that there was some illegal voting performed in the last National general election, then that one hasnot read the newspapers with an unbiased eye. I believe that Mr. Thomas Fitton and the Judicial Watch Organization is trying to do a great service for the United States of America.

Tom Fitton is a public offense. This is a thinly veiled hate group that preys upon the elderly, low information people, and extreme right wing madness. They are aggressively fighting for voter suppression. This is not a charity, it is a sham. It brings down charity navigator that they are here. I answered that they have a little impact, but not in a positive way.

This organization is a SHAM! They prey on senile, elderly people and appeal to their fear. My mother was suffering from demential and received appeals from this organization about twice per month. We tried repeatedly to get them to take her off a list, but they did not respond. My brother, who lives in the DC area even checked out the address on record, and no such office existed. If this is a real organization, I would love to hear their explanation!

This group should not be tax exempt. The headline of their fundraising letter is "Stop Acorn and the Entire Corrupt Obama machine from stealing the 2012 Elections." They are not non-partisan. I see no action against Republicans on their web site. And receiving this letter in an election year when they have never solicited from me before is lobbying. They can speak but contributors don't get a tax break for them lobbying against poor people voting. I don't want to give them even one star but that's the only way I can file these comments!

How can this organization possibly be viewed as a "charity." I have received innumerable mailings from it, seeking funds to promote the far right agenda, and based on so many irresponsible falsehoods, that to categorize this group as "nonpartisan" is absolutely ridiculous.
