SMACK - Full text of Census Bureau letter to ACORN
The Patriot Room ^ | September 11, 2009 | Clyde Middleton

Posted on 09/11/2009 4:35:33 PM PDT by clyde_m

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.

While not decisive factors in this decision, recent events concerning several local offices of ACORN have added to the worsening negative perceptions of ACORN and its affiliation with our partnership efforts.

So...the "perception" of ACORN is the issue. That the public perception may hurt the mission of the Census Bureau.

As I said earlier today. Better dig deep on who they select to "help" in place of ACORN. My guess is it will be a bait and switch and an organization of a different name that is tied in some way back to ACORN.

Two months ago, wife and I escorted a "census taker" off our property. We also called the sheriff to complain that the punk had walked past two no trespassing signs and a locked gate to enter our property.
The Census Bureau may have a constitutional mandate to count everyone but I don't have a mandate to cooperate.
The current census will be politicized anyway, no matter what the suits in DC might say. Here's another poisoned bureaucracy, courtesy Barry's Boys.

Cheers to James O'Keefe, Hannah Giles, and biggovernment.com for sidelining ACORN. At least . . this time . . .

They are in the process...and they have spawned off dozens, if not hundreds of related organizations with other names...all doen using, in part, hundreds of millions of tax dollars.

The radical, criminal enterprise remains a part of this Federal government and are heavily funded with taxpayer’s money, it is extremely naive to think they will not continue to carry out their subversive mission.

ACORN’s new name...we have to be sure the Census Bureau doesn’t just list the new name instead.

ACORN drops tarnished name and moves to silence critics
By: Kevin Mooney

Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (ACORN) leaders are using the threat of a law suit to silence and intimidate critics, according to current and former members of the liberal activist group.

Wade Rathke, who founded the organization, announced on his blog that ACORN International has officially changed its name to
********* “Community Organizations International.”****
Reid also said ACORN is in the process of dismantling Citizen’s Consulting Inc. (CCI), a New-Orleans based non-profit, which has been used to maintain centralized financial control, ACORN 8 activists claim.

As of today, we have close to 80,000 partnership agreements with national and local groups - many of whom are trusted voices and serve these same populations - and we will be relying upon those groups to continue our outreach in the communities you serve.
I just have to wonder how many of these are associates or affiliates of ACORN.
