ACORN and the U.S. Census

As we all know, the Obama administration wants to bring the U.S. Census into the White House for next years 2010 census. Why is this alarming ?? The process is supposed to be free of politics and Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel is going to oversee it. Because the U.S. Census not only counts how many people (legal or illegal) live within the U.S, the census is used for the appointment of seats in the House of Representatives. From that the Electoral College is also affected. Having said that, the outcome is pretty delicate if the numbers were to be adjusted in any given direction.

We now learn that ACORN, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, will participate in next year's count. Who is ACORN ?? ACORN was founded by two guys in 1970 with one being a member of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). Weather Underground was created when Bill Ayers, domestic terrorist and Obama friend, left SDS and founded the weathermen organization.

ACORN is known for its strong voter registration efforts. President Obama volunteered with ACORN back in the days. What is so troubling is that ACORN had felony charges filed against them by Washington State. Several paid ACORN employees and supervisors for filing out more than 1,700 fraudulent voter registrations. Also, in March 2008, an ACORN worker in Pennsylvania was sentenced for making 29 phony voter registration forms. In 2008 they registered 1,315,037 voters. In December 2004, February 2005, October and November 2006, March 2007, and April 2008 ACORN was accused of voter fraud. After everything that ACORN has been accused of, Obama is going to allow them to help with the U.S. Census in 2010. What a disgrace If it smells like a cat, meows like a cat, and walks like a cat, it's a cat !!
