Remember ACORN? If you watched any coverage of the 2008 election, you surely heard of the group. If you saw Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck voting at a polling location near you, they were probably registered by an ACORN volunteer.
This corrupt organization has faced lawsuit after lawsuit claiming the group is responsible for massive voter fraud. What did the group do after that? They moved on to "help" people break the law by breaking into locked-down, foreclosed homes and encouraging the evicted home owners to continue living in the homes, even though they could not pay the bills. Now, this group will be helping with the 2010 census.
Here's a little refresher on this group regarding foreclosed homes:

So, people who got into homes they couldn't afford and don't pay their bills are not only encouraged by ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) to remain in their homes, they are also being aided by ACORN to do so. Check this out:

As Fox News reports, ACORN "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."
Just how accurate do you think this census is going to be with ACORN involved? Much is at stake with the new census. As I wrote last month in U.S. Census Becomes Focus of Latest Power Grab, Obama already is looking to exert more control over the census. The census not only determines congressional allocation, but it also provides the raw data by which government spending is allocated on everything from roads to schools.
ACORN has been accused of voter fraud, embezzlement, and more... and yet this is a group that the federal government wants helping with the census?

"It's a concern, especially when you look at all the different charges of voter fraud. And it's not just the lawmakers' concern. It should be the concern of every citizen in the country," Rep. Lynn A. Westmoreland, R-Ga., vice ranking member of the subcommittee for the U.S. Census, told FOXNews.com. "We want an enumeration. We don't want to have any false numbers."
The news story quotes an ACORN spokesman, Scott Levenson, as saying that ACORN "has not been charged with any crime." Levinson adds, "ACORN is committed to a fair and accurate count." Does anyone actually believe that?
In order to carry out the census, a large number of volunteers are needed. But what is not needed is help from an organization that claims to be non-partisan but goes out of its way to support left wing candidates and causes. ACORN should not be anywhere near the census process.
If ‘bammy gets a second term,
ACORN will be armed within a year.
Seriously...do not answer the door. Be in the back nine, at the gym, whatever, but don’t let them in.
They’ll make up people from thin air in “selected” districts..................
acorn is a communist org.
the pubies should scream bloody murder about this.
This is the start of the Chavez-style power grab.

This makes as much sense at turning the census over to the Gambino crime family. If there was any lingering doubt about what BO’s drive for power aims to accomplish, this should end it.
i am still wondering how they received a billion dollars of our taxpayer monies. That money needs to come back into our coffers.
What was it Tevya sang? “Corruption, Corruption?” If I had the time and inclination, this could be the start of an anti-0 song.
It was actually $4 Billion.
They had better not trespass on my property!
Hey, great idea! This way the “census” will be done much more quickly. In fact I’ll bet the final, official figures will be available by....TOMORROW!! Total percentage black population...62%. There. That sounds about right, doesn’t it?
And then, Sons of Liberty, find your local ACORN's Andrew Oliver and teach them a history lesson!
2009 = 1765
The current crop of pubes have no balls. Get involved locally, it is your only chance.
....bingo...
