James O’Keefe, the undercover conservative journalist, investigator, filmmaker, etc. etc. has problem…and he needs your help to fix it.

O’Keefe, who most recently made headlines for his role in the controversy surrounding NPR, is known for his work involving hidden cameras.

He first came to “prominence” when his videos exposed the wrongdoings of some members of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN).

The problem for O’Keefe is… this film making costs money. Until now, O’Keefe has been putting the money on his and his friends’ credit cards. Now, he is deep into debt.

It cost us about $50,000 when all is said and done to produce the NPR video”

To help ease the pain, O’Keefe is asking supporters to contribute money so he can pay off the bills. He promises anything extra will be used for future projects.

Maybe next time he’ll spend less on costumes?
