A Republican state legislator released documents Tuesday which he says show the community-organizing group ACORN focused on helping Democrats in four legislative races in the November 2008 election and had developed a game plan to "take power" in Oklahoma within five years.

The documents, which also include legislative district maps and various forms were recovered from computers abandoned by ACORN workers in Oklahoma City, said Rep. Mike Reynolds, R-Oklahoma City. Also found was a script apparently used in Houston to go door-to-door to encourage voters to vote for Barack Obama in the November 2008 presidential election.

"They say they're not political, but one of the subdirectories was called political action plans," Reynolds said. "It was their political plans to take over key targeted races in Oklahoma City to show how powerful they are."

One of the key legislative races mentioned in the documents was the Senate District 43 race involving Reynolds' brother. State Sen. Jim Reynolds, an Oklahoma City Republican who won by about 3,600 votes in 2004, won by 159 votes in 2008.
