ACORN to Play Role in 2010 Census. Another Obama Engineered Scam!
March 18, 2009 by Brenda Bowers
They just keep coming folks. These Obama engineered scams and frauds and criminal schemes. ACORN, Obama’s old pals from Chicago politics and an outfit well publicized and documented as having been involved with voter fraud in several states during last years voter registration, is going to be instrumental in conducting the 2010 Census.
The census bureau says it likes to enlist the aid of community organizations in taking the Census. ACORN, (Association of Community Organizations for Reform) is a nationwide organization so the potential for their influence in the census is not limited to one area, but is nationwide.
“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.”
Now why am I not surprised? First President Obama makes the unprecedented move of putting the 2010 Census count under the control of the White House. Now he brings in his old buddies and fellow criminals to do the counting.
“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.”
What is the Census? How is it governed?
“The census is an official count of the country’s population mandated by the U.S. Constitution. It is used to determine distribution of taxpayer money through grants and appropriations and the apportionment of the 435 seats in the House of Representatives. Every U.S. household unit, including those occupied by non-citizens and illegal immigrants, must be counted.”
“The Census (Bureau) is a nonpartisan, non-political agency and we’re very dedicated to an accurate account,” bureau spokesman Stephen Buckner told FOXNews.com. “We have a lot of quality controls in place to keep any kind of systemic error or fraudulent behavior to affect the counts.”
Buckner said the bureau received an overwhelming number of qualified applicants — more than 1 million — for the 140,000 census taker jobs filled to complete the first phase of the effort. Each applicant, he said, must take a basic skills exam, which includes reading a map and entering data into a handheld computer. Applicants are also subject to an FBI background check, he said. ( a whole lot of good this does when there are over 140,000 census taker jobs available. We can only hope the FBI concentrates it’s effort in areas and organization with known records of fraudulent behavior. Tho how and why an organization such as ACORN was permitted access to the program in the first place is surely beyond sanity! unless you consider the Person now inhabiting the White House and his personal ethics and past associations.

Why is the Census count and it’s accuracy so important? For two very good reasons: 1) the count and information taken during the count is used to determine how much states, counties and even cities are given for thru grants and other tax payer “redistribution of wealth”. Such things as funds for education, Medicaid, school lunch programs, infrastructure repairs and construction, funding for elections and numerous other programs are all governed by the census information taken every ten years. 2) far more important is the count determines the number and location of representatives to the House of Representatives, or the number and location of districts. Padding a count in a given area such as one known to have more Democrats than Republicans can allow for more districts and therefore more Representatives from that area and thus influence greatly the political make up of Congress.
We have a new President in the United States who has been in office fewer than 100 days and yet I personally have never see so much evidence of blatant criminality in my life. It is as if the Obama Administration feels they are untouchable. Something else I have never before in my life seen in America is ordinary Americans demonstrating against the actions taken by a new President, his administration and Congress such as is happening with the Tea Party Movement. Check back in history and you will see that Americans believe strongly in the peaceful transfer of power. This certainly happened as I have never seen a President and First Lady more cordial and forethcoming with information to the new President elect and next First lady that were President Bush and First Lady Laura Bush.
The next thing that Americans strongly believe in is giving the new President and administration the benefit of the doubt, or a “honeymoon” period to get their feet on the ground and their agenda and priorities worked out. Even those of us who were so against Barack Obama for the very good reason that we felt not enough was known about him, were truly hoping he would be the President he promised to be. It is now very apparent even to his followers that he is not going to live up to any hope we or they may have had.

I have no intention of giving information other than names and ages of persons living in my home to door ringing census takers. They have no business knowing MY business. I will fill out a form if I receive it in the mail, but will not give up private information to a stranger simply because he (or she) is working for the census bureau.
Goodness knows how many criminals will be ok’d for this work. FBI background checked; what a joke.
With you in this Olivia. Criminals will surely be involved with ACORN and the Obama White House having anything to do with it. We have never had a President who so blatantly usurped power from Congress and the people. And yet he seems to be getting away with it.
Thank you for stopping by and commenting. BB
