Your thoughts Nadia?

Andrew and James, I’m forwarding what could be a very clever idea from Steve Friess in response to the intel below from John Fund re SEIU’s intentions in Tuesday’s election in MA. Don’t know what it would cost, but you all should talk.

Warmest regards -Heather Higgins

Wouldn’t it be great if a “ACORN sting video” could be produced about these busses?

Dad - maybe bounce this off Breitbart?

Some black /Latina conservatives could be wired for video, and get picked up on one of these busses, and show what goes on. My guess -they are offering cash, (which I am pretty sure is illegal), and I also would wager that at least some of these busses are making more than one stop with the same people - ie getting them to vote twice -though I don’t know the mechanics of that.

Perhaps some private detective types would be needed to help track down the busses, and a block or two ahead of them to drop our cameramen off…

Too much to dream? Imagine pulling this off - legal / image problems for SEIU would be a good thing… think there’s upside to this?

Brietbart would know, and Fund would know - ‘if we catch them doing X, it could mean Y’ - I just don’t know what the stakes are…

Foster —See below from John Fund re SEIU -Acorn is in MA as well. It would be hugely helpful if you would assist with our non-glamorous but highly effective GOTV effort. If you could possibly let me know today, that would be helpful to our planning. This is such a great opportunity for making trouble in the best sort of way - I hope you can help us really capitalize on it.

Many thanks, Heather

Tip from Boston source (normally reliable)

Seiu contracting for buses on election day and heading to roxbury, mattapan, roslindale and jamaica plain. If you’re black or brown they’ll rope you in and take you to the polls, registration can be worked out.
