For those interested in the ACORN investigations, here's an article discussing an exchange between the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights
and Civil Liberties and one of the lawyers, Heather S. Heidelbaugh, who appeared before the committee earlier this year..

Even I am getting tired of writing about ACORN today (honest!), but another story came over the transom.
Here we go:
I have learned that after testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on March 19, Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) Vice President
Heather Heidelbaugh today responded to a request for additional information about ACORN from Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), a member of the
committee. (letter available here as PDF)
Heidelbaugh had testified at the hearing about ACORN's many misdeeds. At the time, committee chairman John Conyers (D-Michigan) said the allegations
were "a pretty serious matter" and that an investigation was warranted. Heidelbaugh's testimony about ACORN was largely based on evidence provided
by ACORN whistleblower Anita MonCrief in her testimony in a 2008 Pennsylvania lawsuit called Moyer v. Cortes. (331-page transcript available here as
