Are they trying to keep other tapes from being released?
This is how they are going to try and get arou8nhd Discovery---the organization itself is not filing suit, but the two employees as individuals. Therefore, ACORN is going to argue that it is not subject to discovery.
OK, where do I send my contribution?
Oh, now I want my popcorn...caramel coated please.
I'm skeptical with regards to the expectation of privacy in a publicly funded office, but that is for the courts to decide. The plaintiffs are demanding trial by jury. That is bad.
I find it interesting that Fox News is not named as a defendant, nor Google since both were instrumental in spreading the tapes around.
I do not think this is going to be thrown out at first hearing. I am also not a lawyer, just a guy with paralegal training.
In California ACORN would be barred from filing suit against anyone if they were not properly registered.
I presume that this is probably pretty standard amongst most of the states..
Good luck, DUmmies!
“As direct and proximate result of the actions of defendants, Ms. Thompson and Ms. Williams have lost their employment and have suffered extreme emotional distress with attendant physical symptoms and injury to their reputations.”
Well, it sounds like ACORN is admitting their guilt if they wound up fired them...
We need to rally around these people or face the possibility that no one will ever want to take on these leftist thugs again.This was FAR more gutsy than some congresscritter telling the truth about Barky`s lying during some speech,so maybe a little funding is in order here,since I could spare a few bucks,an address for donations would be appreciated.
Cutting off all federal taxpayer dollars to ACORN (The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) is a good start, but Congress and the Executive Branch must do more.
The American people deserve no less than a full-scale, no-stone-unturned Congressional investigation.
It is now clear that ACORN – which is national in scope and exerts a dangerous influence over politicians and the political process at the local and national levels – is not just a far-left political organization that is not beyond bending or breaking a few laws to advance a radical agenda.
In fact, apparent lawlessness by ACORN representatives seems to be part of the organization’s modus operandi.
ACORN’s true colors were exposed during last year’s presidential campaign when the self-proclaimed community organizing group was implicated in several instances of voter registration fraud and other illicit activity to the benefit of Barack Obama.
Now we learn that ACORN workers in major cities across the country (Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Brooklyn and two cities in California so far) were caught on tape advising undercover documentarians on how to lie to the government so they could establish a brothel for underage, illegal immigrant girls.
The fact that ACORN has been the recipient of your tax dollars – at least 53 million since 1994 – for so many years is egregious. Especially when you consider that the group’s workings and dealings appear to replicate those of an organized criminal enterprise.
That’s why merely cutting off government funding for ACORN – which is a good start – simply does not go far enough.
We need an ACORN Commission. Heads need to roll... long prison sentences should eventually be handed out... and yes, ACORN’s ties to the liberal political establishment must be part of such an investigation.
A message needs to be sent. No group can commit such atrocious acts and get away with it.
ACORN must be stopped cold and it’s up to concerned and patriotic Americans like us to make it happen.
Tell them in no uncertain terms that in addition to cutting off all federal taxpayer funds to ACORN, the American people are demanding more. Tell them that the American people deserve to know the full and unvarnished extent of ACORN’s apparent fraudulent and criminal activities, as well as full extent of their ties to the political establishment.
Demand immediate Congressional investigations into ACORN fraud.

FReep mail me if you want on/off the list.
tgo (mark levin) says the discovery process can be hell
meaning - in their defense, they can place anyone and everyone under oath - subpoena any and all documents - give an anal exam to anyone that has ever uttered the word acorn
this could include members of congress and even der fuhrer
acorn and their advisers are idiots for doing this - i bet a legal foundation would gladly take them on as clients - i also bet the suit will be withdrawn before sunrise
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
