Matthew Vadum

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) spoke his mind in an explosive, exclusive interview that’s only in my new book, Subversion Inc.: How Obama’s ACORN Red Shirts are Still Terrorizing and Ripping Off American Taxpayers.

The felony conviction came after the book had gone to press. -MV] Former Chicago ACORN leader Madeline Talbott is a master of the bank shakedown.
