Witness Statement<br />

Det.1 I<br />

um ... an office such as mine ... got no funds unless they produced cards. And it was on<br />

the basis of the number of those cards that money was transferred from one account to<br />

another and could sustain the rent and the payment for staff and phones and all<br />

the ... overhead.<br />

Steve Hobbs:<br />

And where did ... do you know where the grant came from?<br />

I'm sure that I do in my notes ... but it's a national non-profit organization. Or political<br />

organi ... I'm sure it's not a overtly political but I was cautioned to be rigorously non<br />

partisan. Um ... despite the fact that they knew I had other commitments. On the job I<br />

clearly separated my outside activities from those so ...<br />

Um ... did ACORN have a policy about whether you could have outside partisan<br />

activities?<br />

Witness:<br />

They frowned on what I did. But ... I' d been doing it since before I was hired so<br />

Um ... an ACORN staffer in quality control came here and trained her um ... took her<br />

through the steps and demonstrated how to call um ... she was instructed how to use the<br />

various forms and um ... how to report um ... and she kind of enjoyed it. . .1 think.<br />

How long did that training last?<br />
