In recent news, videos have been released, with more to come, exposing the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN)'s practices and possible law breaking by some of it's employees. If you had never heard of ACORN before, you most likely heard it mentioned quite often during the last presidential election as President Obama was very involved with ACORN in his early years in politics. Since the videos have been released, at least two of the ACORN employees portrayed in the videos have since been fired. The videos & transcripts from the videos have been released at Big Government.com. the videos were made as part of an undercover plan to expose how ACORN conducts business. The plan was for a girl posing as a prostitute to go into ACORN offices with a boy posing as her pimp and pretend to be seeking housing where they could set up shop. Not only did they ask about prostitution as part of what would go on in their housing unit, but they also went a step further and asked the ACORN workers about also trafficking young, underaged girls from El Salvadore, through their doors.
The girl who posed as a prostitute in the videos is Hannah Giles. Who is Hannah Giles? For one, she was homeschooled. She now is 20 years old and attends college pursuing a degree in journalism. It seems that the "acorn" has not fallen far from the tree as her homeschooling dad is Doug Giles, well-known columnist for Townhall.com and author of the book, A Time To Clash: Papers from a Provocative Pastor and If You're Going Through Hell, Keep Going, as can be seen on Clash Radio.com. He and his wife have two daughters, one of whom is Hannah. Hannah now joins the ranks of another homeschooler who exposed Planned Parenthood practices in a similar undercover manner. Lila Rose.
You can view one of the undercover videos below. There have been other videos made & some are yet to be released - One set to be released today and shown and discussed on the Glenn Beck Show, as well as other news shows which can be seen locally. Glenn Beck has already discussed the videos on his radio show already aired in St. Louis. This video is said to reveal names of politicians and possible connections with health care.
Just a word of warning: Use your parental judgment, but the video is probably not appropriate for young eyes:

Just found this on Digg today. Wow!
Thanks for the additional information. A full investigation of this organization needs to be done, and absolutely no more funding should go to Acorn, or any other name they choose to operate under. What I heard and saw on these tapes was appalling!
Did her Dad homeschool her in the art of prostitution?
Got something to say?
