Team Obama Announces It Will Use Community Organizations Like ACORN For Census Count

Change! Team Obama confirmed today that they will use community organizations like ACORN for the census count.

ACORN will help count the illegal immigrants, or as Speaker Pelosi calls them, the "American patriots." CNS News reported, via Mere Rhetoric:

The acting director of the U.S. Census Bureau, Thomas Mesenbourg, told CNSNews.com that the bureau intends to work with community organizations to make sure every illegal alien in the United States is counted in the 2010 Census. The Census is used to apportion the seats in the U.S. House of Representative. There are 435 House seats that are divided among the states in proportion to their population, which is determined by the decennial census.

A former organizer for ACORN pleaded guilty to federal charges for submitting fraudulent voter registrations in the St. Louis area just this week.

The radical ACORN organization worked closely with the Obama campaign during the election this past year although the community organizing group was not open about this. The photo below was scrubbed from the ACORN website before the election:

One of Barack Obama's first big "community organizer" jobs involved ACORN in 1992. Obama also trained ACORN employees. He represented ACORN in court. Obama worked with and protested with ACORN. His campaign donated $800,000 to ACORN this year for voter registration efforts.

And, ACORN even canvassed for Obama last year.

I applied and passed the exam and they said they would contact me in Feb. or March. I have not heard from them.

I worked with the census in 2000, but never took the test until about March of 2000. Some work had taken place before then, but most of it was during 2000, and I expect most of the work will be during 2010 thins time.

I plan to take the test soon. I know someone who's already taken it (who also worked in 2000) who hasn't heard from them yet. I really don't know how much work is done in the year before the main count is done.

“They arn’t going to show up at your door, or anyone else’s, for that matter. They are going to make up the numbers, just like they make up the fraudulent votes. They will target areas that are closely contested but leaning slightly one way or the other, then try to gin up the numbers to make them more favorable to their side.”

I have read on FR about the guy the Totus appointed to run the census. He has argued repeatedly for using ‘statistical sampling’ as viable. Pubbies have been arguing against this.

I wonder what would happen if millions of citizens refused to comply with the census...?

Note to the people and businesses, not to mention all kinds of gov't agencies from local to national, depending on accurate data: Y'all might wanna have a word with the 'Rats.
