- President Barack Obama’s nominee to head the U.S. Census Bureau pledged Friday that he will keep politics out of the 2010 population count and will not push for sampling – a controversial method he has previously advocated.

Robert Groves, currently director of the University of Michigan Survey Research Center, is also a former associate director of the Census Bureau in the early 1990s.

Like The First Thug, this guy will say anything to get the job and then immediately break all his promises because he knows that The Tingly Media “has his back”.

These people, IMO, are scumbags of the worst kind. People at our tea party echoed the same sentiments.

ACORN's Illegal Activities and Mafia-Style Tactics in Congress’s Spotlight
Family Security Matters | March 23, 2009 | Chris Carter
FR Posted 03/27/2009 by Crush

Members of Congress heard testimony against the activist group ACORN on Thursday, exposing the group's illegal activity and mafia-style tactics. Pittsburgh lawyer Heather Heidelbaugh appeared before the a House Judiciary subcommittee alleging that the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has violated campaign finance and tax laws in addition to their protest-for-hire and coerced donations.

The source of the accusations was from the sworn testimony of ACORN whistleblower Anita MonCrief, who was a clerk for ACORN's sister organization called Project Vote.

MonCrief, a Democrat and Obama supporter, testified last year that Barack Obama's campaign gave Project Vote a "donor list" of people who had contributed the maximum amount allowed by federal law. According to Heidelbaugh's testimony, the donors were to be targeted to donate to ACORN's "Get Out the Vote" efforts and finance voter registration drives.

Heidelbaugh revealed in her testimony that there is virtually no separation between ACORN and Project Vote, as employees working for one group would perform work for the other. (Excerpt) Read more at familysecuritymatters.org ...

OK. So, an Obama appointtee claims he is not lying.

So, why do I believe he is lying anyway?

We know now that about 25 democrat representatives ARE in power because of the illegal aliens in their voting districts: More illegals in a minority district = more (racist) minority reps elected = more democrats in power.

Why should we believe him?

Robert Groves "pledged Friday that he will keep politics out of the 2010 population count and will not push for sampling..."

He won't "push" for it. He will just do it or have his minions do it.

Remember, with democrats you have to carefully parse every word.

It isn't what they say, it is what they don't say that disguises the truth.

If you don't fill out the form you will get a knock on your door and answer in person. If you refuse to answer their ?'s I think the law says they can fine you 100$'s per ?. Deliberately lying is 500$ per ? I think. Some one posted the relevant laws I don't have them on hand and don't feel like looking for them. FWIW.
