WeArSoFkd FACT#2: Acorn Grows Into A Mighty Yoke

Via Fox News:

ACORN to Play Role in 2010 Census

The U.S. Census Bureau is working with several national organizations to help recruit 1.4 million workers to produce the country’s 2010 census, including one with a history of voter fraud charges: ACORN.

The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now [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 — 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.”

Given ACORN’s long experience in registering felonious and phony voters, what could possibly go wrong with them interviewing and counting citizens??? [My keyboard monkey is typing lots of things I didn't ... huh. .... ]

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.

[...]

“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.”

ACORN, which claims to be a non-partisan grassroots community organization of low- and moderate-income people, came under fire in 2007 when Washington State filed felony charges against several paid ACORN employees and supervisors for more than 1,700 fraudulent voter registrations. In March 2008, an ACORN worker in Pennsylvania was sentenced for making 29 phony voter registration forms. The group’s activities were frequently questioned in the 2008 presidential election.

Well gosh, people. Rep. Westmoreland, you worry wart, you!!! I’m sure the ACORN people — who give so much of themselves to help our nation’s poor and pay them with pre-set credit cards to donate money to Barack Obama, and make up names, or randomly select names out of the phone book — will ensure that the census results and numbers they make up provide will be 99.99% at best 33% correct.

    My theme of the day has been:

    OMFG!!!!!

  • NoTrollZone

    I will join in your theme of the day and add a WTF???

  • KmX

    Why are serious democrats, republicans, independents and concerned Americans not sigining up for these jobs.

    How many of these workers are illegal immigrants past criminals?

  • http://www.rabblerouserruminations.blogspot.com/ Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy

    You have GOT to be KIDDING ME!!!!!! WTH?? This is why Obama wanted that milque toast to take over Treasury, so he can steamroll in these people to “conduct” the census (read: completely make crap up that serves them best).

    Holy COW!

  • outis

    Just asked on the other thread, but I guess it’s in the air. What is the status of charges against ACORN? How much money did they get in the bailout? And is there ANY way of stopping their participation in the census?

    There’s so much to protest against; where to start?

  • politicalidentitycrisis

    I want to start with a massive group of citizens storming the White House and dragging Obama out by the shirt collar. Then we move on to the Capital!

  • heather

    You know, one day they’re going to find out that they push us too far. This is just too much. How will we ever trust our government again and when will this crap end? It’s like having someone look you right in the eye while they pick your pocket and screw your sister all at the same time!

  • OxyCon

    Obama recruited his thug allies to help him steal the Dem primary, so it’s know wonder he will now get the same thugs to help him rig the census.

  • NoTrollZone

    There is no need to have any group “help recruit” census takers. The pay is like 11 bucks an hour here in Montana for this job. People were packed into the job service center to take the test to qualify for the job. People are hurting for jobs. No need to hire any middle-scum to help. Amazing. Stupid. Amazing. Stupid. Amazing. Stupid. BTW, the passing number for the test was frighteningly low.
    Funny and stupid and amazing. If they try to force ACORNs into MT to take the jobs from the people here… you are going to see some really uptight locals.

  • NoTrollZone

    sorry, I wasn’t clear. To pass the test and qualify to be an enumerator, you didn’t have to do very well.

  • candymarl

    Why are people who are not Federal government employees conducting a Census for the Federal government? Where are the controls? Who are these people? Do they have franking privileges to send letters to the American public?

    I have to agree. Privately owned or supposedly independent organizations may conduct polls. It’s unconstitutional for them to conduct the US Census. That’s supposed to be overseen by Congress according to the US Constitution.

    Where the hell is Congress? Oh wait. Pelosi is in charge. Looks like Congress has lost control. What a shocker.

    I add to the chorus. WE ARE SO SCREWED.

  • candymarl

    Funny, I’m an old broad and the most I’ve gotten is a letter. So apparently there is a choice in the way the Census is conducted.

    I’m sure ACORN was also involved with the uninvestigated voter fraud in OH and GA whereby they sought out convicted felons and homeless people to vote without identification. I worked for ACORN and am familiar with these practices.

  • http://donnadarko.wordpress.com donna darko

    Convicted felons lean about 70% Democratic.

  • Ferd Berfle

    Why are people who are not Federal government employees conducting a Census for the Federal government?

    You should ask a neocon as they are the ones who started the “government employee is bad” mantra and passed lucrative contracts to private organizations to do work best left to the government.

    But hold on–now that their ox is being gored, they are having a hissy-fit and have changed their dumbass tune.

    Some things should be done by the government, including the census but you can’t relay that sort of information to the knotheads like bushbots and obamabots.

  • Ferd Berfle

    I don’t know about Democrat or Republican percentages but I do know that convicted felons run 100% criminal.

    The minute I saw that ACORN was getting stimulus money, I knew they’d be also hired (for more money) to be census collectors. The stimulus money is for setting up the structure to do the count, etc. They will be looking for immigrants and they’ll also be compiling a database for Obama’s re-election. They will try to pump numbers so the Dims can have more representation in the next election. There isn’t anything they won’t do that will be illegal and unethical.

    This is all so sick. Who can we trust to turn the screws on this and get them out of the process? We have to raise hell. He’s padding every avenue with the bought and paid for. The man is the worst we’ve ever had. Glad to see his numbers pummeling. Perhaps by the time attention can be brought to the ACORN/Census issue, he’ll be in a jam and someone in government can expose him.

  • JustMe~~

    there is no getting away from that !

  • cathnealon

    The last I heard ACORN was still under investigation by the FBI after having its offices raided during the campaign. Didn’t they get 25 billion or so of our money from the stimulus package? Well, we thought it couldn’t be worse than Bush but now we see that BO thinks he’s the alpha and the omega and is going to change this country to his version of a banana republic.

  • FLDemFem

    I remember the census in 1990. I was living in WV and we got our census forms in the mail. I was “recruited” by a local church group to help some of their members fill out the forms, but only in the “explain what they want on this line” sort of help. They all did their own forms, once they found out what the question was. I did fill out two forms for other people, both legally blind. Other than that, we had no “census workers”. Didn’t need them. Why not do the same with this census? Mail the forms and have help available through local organizations if people need it. Not that I would mind getting $11 an hour to help people fill out their forms, but I would do it just to be neighborly. Wouldn’t you?
    P.S. I was in PA for the 2000 census and am now in FL. I move around as much now as I did as a kid, apparently.

    I think that in most states they can apply to restore their rights after serving time.

  • DaddysDarlin

    You took the words right out of my mouth!!!

  • Ellen D

    You mean you’d be suspicious if the census after ACORN showed the black population at 50% instead of 11%? That’s racist talk.

  • TeakwoodKite

    I look it like one eyes a cheese grater for something other than cheese.

    Such is speaking truth to power these days.

  • http://thenewagenda.net/ Woman Voter

    Checks and balances have gone out the window, and when I saw that ACORN was going to do the census, I just wanted to go back to bed and start all over, hoping it was a bad dream.

    I count dead people, I count my make believe friends, and I make up people.

    Dear lord…

  • Hope Change and Unicorns

    The vast minority population that Acorn believes are under counted. will somehow be found…

    OBAMA’S DOCUMENTED TIES
    TO COERCIONIST
    ORGANIZATIONS & INDIVIDUALS

    From New Zealand -

    Mr. Trevor Loudon, a gentleman in New Zealand, has extensively referenced and documented Obama’s ties to coercionist organizations. As Mr. Loudon explains in a recent radio interview (see link below), he is concerned about America because ultimately New Zealand’s freedom depends upon America’s freedom.

    The original message describing Mr. Loudon’s sixty-nine documents regarding Obama was sent by Mr. Richard O’Leary in the following message:

    A dear friend of mine in Austrailia sent me this link to a radio broadcast
    about Barack Obama’s past. We need to distribute this material to every
    person we know. As you will soon learn, Obama is A VERY DANGEROUS
    MAN! More dangerous than anyone knows, except a few select individuals.

    http://www.worldviewradio.com:80/play.php?EpisodeID=11125

    It is unbelievable that Obama was able to supress this information, but he
    did, with the assistance of the American press. I’ve known Obama was a
    hard core coercionist, but I had no idea that he was this evil. I take almost
    everything I hear about anyone with a grain of salt, but the evidence in this
    matter is irrefutable.
