O ne B ig A ss M istake A merica Has ACORN Helping Hire Workers For U.S. Census
Remember back in February when he wanted to take control over the census? Well today, Fox News is reporting:
The U.S. Census is supposed to be free of politics, but one group with a history of voter fraud, ACORN, is participating in next year’s count, raising concerns about the politicization of the decennial survey.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now signed on as a national partner with the U.S. Census Bureau in February 2009 to assist with the recruitment of the 1.4 million temporary workers needed to go door-to-door to count every person in the United States — currently believed to be more than 306 million people.
A U.S. Census “sell sheet,” an advertisement used to recruit national partners, says partnerships with groups like ACORN “play an important role in making the 2010 Census successful,” including by “help[ing] recruit census workers.”
The bureau is currently employing help from more than 250 national partners, including TARGET and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), to assist in the hiring effort.
But ACORN’s partnership with the 2010 Census is worrisome to lawmakers who say past allegations of fraud should raise concerns about the organization.
Good thing ACORN doesn’t have a political agenda. Exit question: Given how many other partners it has, why would the Bureau invite the appearance of impropriety by hooking up with a group as tainted as this? Their latest, greatest hit, you’ll recall, was breaking into foreclosed homes to reinstate the former owners, a practice they admit constitutes trespassing. Does Buckner want to spend the next year being asked about stuff like that?

I don’t know Robert…the Clinton administration was pretty bad. Of course this administration is being run by a group of die hard liberals who seem to want nothing more than a one party country where the majority is beholden to them.
I had to laugh at the sheer ‘audacity’ of NObama to voice outrage at the bonus’s given out by AIG. Did he REALLY think they would take government money and do what he says. Did he REALLY think they would listen to him? What a fool he is. This country is in big trouble.
