Breaking ACORN News - If You Do Not Have Time to Shred the Documents Throw Them in a Dumpster

A few weeks ago the Louisiana Attorney General raided ACORN's main base of operations in New Orleans. The raid was necessary due to reports that computers and documents were beginning to disappear from the offices.

Our friends at www.biggovernment.com today reveal that in San Diego an even more egregious incident occurred. ACORN staffers apparently disposed of significant amounts of sensitive documents on the eve of a visit from the California Attorney General's office. A local private investigator rescued the documents from the dumpster and has begun publicly revealing them on www.biggovernment.com. When the documents go missing before the Attorney General arrives, no wonder ACORN's employees are so confident the Attorney General will find no evidence of wrongdoing.

Shockingly, we now learn that the ACORN office in National City (San Diego County) engaged in a massive document dump on the evening of October 9th, containing thousands upon thousands of sensitive documents, just days prior to the Attorney General's visit.

BigGovernment.com has learned that not only did this document dump occur, but the documents in question were irresponsibly and brazenly dumped in a public dumpster, without considering laws and regulations as to how sensitive information should be treated.

I am a local licensed private investigator. I took it upon myself to keep an eye on what the local ACORN office was up to, in light of the release of the undercover videos. I retrieved these documents from the public dumpster.

Documents shared with BigGovernment.com include information exposing not only the inner workings of ACORN in California, but also personal, sensitive information belonging to employees, members and clients of ACORN. ACORN and its few remaining defenders insist that the "good" ACORN provides outweighs the transgressions exposed in the recent undercover video sting. But, ACORN's massive dumping of these documents and the cavalier manner in which it betrayed the trust of its supporters betrays that talking point. (Unlike ACORN, we have redacted sensitive and personal information.)
