You make good points. They are strangers, walking into a place of business that dispenses public money. Doesn’t sound confidential to me, especially after a couple glasses of excellent Ridgeline Cabernet.
Well what's going to happen in the future is people will just video without giving up their identity. Some will actually still do this making sure they get enough good stuff to use as a bargaining chip. In the end the true value is that every ACORN office is now on alert and will temporarily follow the rules while looking at everyone with suspicion. These two heroes have put ACORN, at least in it's current configuration before they break apart and and get absorbed by similar groups, on a death spiral. Bless them!
James O’ Keefe and Hannah Giles are heroes!
Thanks for that take on it. I know that on the video released today, James O’Keefe said it was August 17, 2009 when they visited the LA office of ACORN, so that one is pretty recent. I also know the other videos probably can’t be more recent than August but I would be interested to know when they actually started.

How many more of these do these people have?
Great work.
As more information on the actual sting comes out, it appears that I'm wrong on this. The entire operation, rather than being a year or more in length, only took six weeks, which makes the coup even more amazing in my book.
Even better, it only cost the pair $1300.00, which means they operated on a real shoestring budget. Now, as to how they actually criss-crossed the country to set this up on that small amount of funding is something I'd really love to hear...
