That, also, is impossible or, at best, a wild guess.

The only voice we have, for now, is FOX NEWS and sites like these. I have never seen media so corrupt. The reason ACORN is not a big deal is because this corrupt media is leaving out the part that ACORN has billions in "stimulus" money. Up to $5.2 billion in taxpayer funds deep within that corrupt bill that none of the phoney corrupt politicians read. M Stone,
