• Any current or previous criminal investigations into the group.

• A breakdown of any funding received by the group and any violations of the terms of that funding.

• A report on alleged improprieties in collecting voter-registration

on voting roles and actually attempting to vote."

• The group's programs to provide housing opportunities.

It also asked for a report on private sting activities "in
which individuals have reportedly visited ACORN offices, misrepresented
their identities and proposed activities, surreptitiously videotaped
resulting conversations with ACORN workers, and widely distributed
them."

The letter went onto say, "Conflicting allegations have
been made about the propriety of these activities. Please research and
report on the federal and state laws that could apply to such
videotaping and distribution of conversations without the consent of
all parties."

who have taken over our government, O'Keefe and Giles are among the
greatest patriots this country has seen since the Revolution. As a
reward, they will probably spend the rest of their lives paying off
their legal bills.
