"Census Bureau Severs Ties With ACORN"

FOXNews.com
Friday, September 11, 2009


The Census Director has sent a letter to the National Headquarters of ACORN notifying the group that the Census Bureau is severing all ties with the community organizing group for all work having to do with the 2010 census.

"Over the last several months, through ongoing communication with our regional offices, it is clear that ACORN's affiliation with the 2010 Census promotion has caused sufficient concern in the general public, has indeed become a distraction from our mission, and may even become a discouragement to public cooperation, negatively impacting 2010 Census efforts," read a letter from Census Director Robert M. Groves to the president of ACORN.

"Unfortunately, we no longer have confidence that our national partnership agreement is being effectively managed through your many local offices. For the reasons stated, we therefore have decided to terminate the partnership," the letter said.

The news follows the firing Friday of two more ACORN employees after new hidden-camera footage showed workers for the group advising a couple posing as a pimp and prostitute how to subvert the law.

Default ACORN Corruption

As I understand it a lot of tax dollars find their way into the ACORN coffers and the census gig was only the latest opportunity for more. We could expect more of the same voter fraud activities of previous ACORN scadals being applied to rigging census results for their Democrat benefactors.

There should be a special prosecutor assigned to investigate the organization including finances, business practices and connections to the current administration and congress. It would be unfortunate for a large organization to be mischaracterized by the actions of few who were caught acting unethically and/or unlawfully but that is a reality that every organization has to contend with. That is why they include training and self policing with zero tolerance for shenanigans that could be so damaging.

That is very good news!

Get rid of the corrupt organization, all together, and thrown those that are corrupt in jail for a long time.

I could agree with everything you posted in general, but in this case I think the released videos have shown that this propensity toward unethical and possibly criminal actions is not limited to a few in the organization. There have been videos taken in three different cities and gotten consistent responses from each office. Each was ready with a plan of action to commit fraud and facilitate criminal activites, that the criminal activity was child prostitution only makes their ability to find three willing participants that much more telling.

One city was San Bernardino, Ca. http://www.sbsun.com/news/ci_13345649
San Bernardino had just became a sanctuary city the same day I left 2 years ago.
