Another video released yesterday on the Glenn Beck show, reveals a San Bernardino, California ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) worker telling undercover filmmaker James O'Keefe and his associate Hannah Giles about how she ran a prostitution business, how she shot and killed her husband, and how on a daily bases she talks to multiple lawmakers one of them being Sen. Barbara Boxer.
ACORN employee Tresa Kaelke, told O'Keefe and Giles that she ran a prostitution business and that she knows how not to get caught. She would make $15,000 a month and the women who worked for her 10k. She told Giles, that if she beat the girls working for her, she would "get more out of them." and that prostitution should be legal.
Kelke goes on to tell how she shot and killed her husband. She claims it was in self defense but says that she laid groundwork before, talking to agencies on how her husband was beating her. She said she has no problem with killing people.
The couple is then sent across the street to the home of Kaelke's friend Jim Miller. Mr. Miller talks about disguising the brothel as a school and claiming it as a 501 (c) 3 non-profit. He also tells Giles how much prostitute competition there is on the San Bernardino streets and how much her competition charges. Kelke said if Miller told any body about the prostitution business, she would kill them.
Kelke then talked about how on a daily basis she lobbies State and Federal lawmakers on a daily basis. She name dropped some California state lawmakers and on a Federal level, United States Senator Barbara Boxer. There is no statement as of yet from Boxer's office, but in a vote Monday she was one of 83 senators to approve of an amendment to defund ACORN.
ACORN of San Bernardino is the fourth of the association's offices to be uncovered by O'Keefe and Giles operation and revealed on www.biggovernment.com. The couple has been going into ACORN offices undercover, Giles as a prostitute, and O'Keefe her boyfriend who in the future wants to be a Congressional candidate. They tell ACORN workers that they want to obtain housing to use as a brothel with underage El Salvadorean girls and funnel the funds into O'Keefe's campaign.
This is only part one of the story of San Bernardino ACORN. Part two will be posted later today. What more can be brought to this saga?

Acorn has some bad apples - like any organization.
The question: Why should the Republicans demand that Acorn be investigated when they resist any investigations of so called conservative groups that have engaged in much wider and larger illegal acts. If the fat rich old white men running the Republican Party will agree to a DOJ investigation of C Street (The Secret Fellowship and The Presidential Prayer Breakfast BS), then I can agree to investigating Acorn. As long as there is C Street, we will have counter balancing organizations like Acron....in fact, we better have them or the top 1% won't own just 50% of the country, they'll own all of it.
Be kind to the rich and their tax cuts - because we're all going to end up working for them.
Pull all federal funding for ACORN.
Why don't you just address the real issue ? How can you talk about those nasty Republicans when you have absolutely nothing to offer in real facts ? This video is only one of several which show without a doubt that there are real problems within the ACORN organization. Perhaps this organization started out as just another bleeding-heart liberal cure-all, but it has certianly moved well beyond that. By the way, the last time I checked, the Democrats were in power with all the capability of investigating just about anyone....Perhaps there just isn't anything worth their while except examining those terrible people who helped find terrorists by use of HUMANE interrogation techniques.
Make the arrests, for crying out loud !
ACORN has been around for years, as far back as the 80's when they went after Banks with prayer meeting in the bank lobbies. This group should be looked at by the IRS and DOJ. It is a farce and one that DEM politicians use to get their base out, if we want to see CHANGE during this administration, this is where you start. Think it will happen?
An ACORN worker confesses murder to a person she's never met before? Has she been tried? If so, she might do that because of the law concerning double jeopardy. If she has not been tried, then she is so stupid that this story is unbelievable--especially after she has bragged that she killed him in the first degree. Of course, maybe the police AGREED that it was in self-defense.
There's more to this story than meets the eye, and it's a good idea not to believe everything you hear.
It appears the stingers got stung...
According to the San Bernardino Sun...
""They were not believable," Kaelke said in ACORN's official statement. "They were clearly playing with me. I decided to shock them as much as they were shocking me."
Amy Schur, ACORN's top California organizer, said Kaelke exercised bad judgement in "messing with" the undercover bloggers."
""The statements that are made do not appear to be factual," police Lt. Dan Keil said. "We are aware that she has an ex-husband who is alive. It appears to be a farce, for lack of a better word.""
