Subject: RE: BS: Spread the Truth About ACORN
Here's the complaint:
http://www.politico.com/static/PPM116_complaint.html

This is amazing. ACORN and the two Baltimore women are jointly suing, even though ACORN fired them. They carefullly restricted the complaint to "You taped us without our consent," "With malice" and we were emotionally distressed (with accompanying physical symptoms) and damaged in reputation.

NO allegations about false pretenses, false representations or false portrayals. - Keep it simple. . . .

But have they thought this through? Besides the obvious fact that they are seeking retribution for someone revealing their words, they will have to prove the measure of their distress, and what caused it - Unpermitted audio recording - or being fired? Being portrayed as criminals, or being falsely portrayed as criminals?
