I am now sure that it is time for them to stop...
But what amazes me is that this “tour” had to have been done in rapid secession in that the ACORN offices had had to start getting the word out about these two...
I heard the guy (pseudo-pimp) mention that they spent their own money doing this...I stand to be corrected but I heard him throw out the number $1300 for both, on expenses...
Now if they flew coast to coast, there is no way that is an accurate number, and it would also push the envelop for gas, lodging and food on this whirlwind tour, so to speak...
So somewhere they had to have gotten some money they are not talking about...
Don’t get me wrong...I am only poking holes in this because those are some credible observances that the other side of this will bring up...
But the bottom line is that this could get very dangerous if they are still going around (which I have a slight doubt that they are) spoofing these offices...
I wonder if anyone could get a line on the SEIU offices and their operations...That would be a coup...Big time...
I heard him say about $3,000.00
They ought to sue the government for their time at about $1,000.00 an hour...like some scumbag lawyer would do.
This is what I gather:
They recorded as many of the videos as they could before releasing any of them. They anticipated that ACORN would try to write the first couple of videos off as isolated incidents, which ACORN did. As a response, they’re releasing city after city to show that the corruption is widespread.
I think all of the videos are done, so they are not in danger.
I don’t think they are currently doing these stings. They have done them over a period of time and are just releasing the videos now.

These have been in the can for a while. I had heard that they have hours of material available.
Southwest Airlines has been offering $99 flights from California to New York. So that's basically $400 round trip for both of them. I suspect they did the San Bernardino and San Diego stings on the same day. Neither of these people look like they spend a lot of money on food.
1) It’s probable that they’re done with the ACORN project.
2) I also heard the “$1,300 for expenses” number, which James mentioned in response to a question from Beck on his Monday TV show. I’m guessing that James is a 25 year old kid without a lot of exposure to what we might call “expenses,” and that the $1,300 might represent the out-of-pocket costs for costumes, camera, etc., and but necessarily for hotel, meals, gas, etc.
I believe James has said that copies of their expense receipts are posted online to prove they did it on a shoestring. (maybe at Biggovernment?)
As a former 20 something, who had to live on the cheap, I honestly believe it could be done. Southwest has very cheap airfares, and there are other cheapie airlines out there. Sleeping in a car is no hardship when you’re that young. And one could keep fueled with only one meal a day, plus a snack or two.
Yeah...I believe ‘em. When you’re “on a mission”, you can really stretch the dough.
“I heard him throw out the number $1300 for both, on expenses...”
I heard that, too. And Hannah had said each of them paid his/her own expenses.
The San Diego vid was done on August 18.
You can fly coast to coast for a few hundred bucks. Southwest has some great fares. You can get a car for a couple hundred bucks for the week, easy. 80 bucks a night for a halfway decent hotel. Food on the cheap, etc. I can see $1,300.00 covering it.
I suspected all these vids were done prior to the first one being released. Otherwise, ACORN would have spread the word immediately and there wouldn’t have been a second one.
They are not stopping. What gave you that idea? They have more tapes to release.
