ACORN to Play Role in 2010 Census

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.

It would not be wise for one of those ACORN members to come to my house durning the census.

They will also do some other “door to door” activity no doubt.

Sorry, I don’t open my door for anyone I don’t know. That’s how it’s going to stay.

I worked for the census after I got out of high school. Worst-run organization that I’ve ever seen, bar none. They would hire anyone who could act vaguely human; I think they would have hired an orangutang if he had a clipboard. They hired people who thought five-digit zip codes were “too complicated.”

And they made it real, real, clear that (1) it didn’t matter how much money got spent. (2) it didn’t matter if the census was accurate, but (3) it was VERY important that all the stupid forms got filled out properly. I mean, this got drilled into everyone’s heads day in and day out.

Hard to believe ACORN could make it any worse.

This should be posted a thousand times, everyday, until people wake up about Obama’s plans. ACORN helped steal Ohio for him, and the new billions they're due to get in the stimulus bill will make Obama’s Brownshirts truly formidable.

Wanna make any bets they will just make it up and rarely actually talk to people?

This should stay on the top so as many people as possable can see it..

All I can say is if they step a foot on my property they will not like what happens to them..I have a POSTED sign that reads “You will be shot if you trespass here”..And if I get something by mail I will set a special fire to burn the papers..People do not send anything back to these commies..

There will be non-ACORN people playing a role in 2010 Census, too, I expect. Considering the average ACORN person’s I.Q. is only in double digits, it could get interesting. Of course, ACORN relies more on thuggery than brains, so it could get ugly, too.

Can we FREEP the census? When we return the questionnaires, should we add more residents to our count?

If you do add more then they will have more to count for Obama when they make their list all they are doing is compiling a new list this time with addresses on them so they can send bums and homeless people into the voting booth to vote time after time and claim to be that person..Like I said I will not sent it back to them...I am not telling you what to do you do what you want..So far we still have rights in this country,lets keep it that way.
