Activities for the 2010 Census are well underway. Census workers are being hired and political maneuvers have begun. A number of news stories have already been published from citizens concern for giving out information to the census taker, to how the new political lines will be drawn. Should be fun.

Could it be that ACORN might actually be a useful tool in the effort to get accurate urban census counts?
No, of course not, they are completely evil and serve no purpose.
It's important for everything to be completely good or bad, there are never, ever any reasons that you should have to look at the situation as a whole.
Ever. This is how I have dismissed both political parties, almost all religions (ok, all religions), all public corporations, banks, all of my former friends, many foods and all forms of entertainment.
Beer is my only friend.

Dang! Criminal Party here.
How many do you think are answered honestly? Especially, the ones regarding "how did you get here." "US Citizen?"

Maybe Acorn can now find all of the "people" they registered to vote.

It seems that you have an outlook that any simple questions asked is driven by some vast right wing conspiracy. That is a tactic used by those who seems ghosts and goblins around every statement and position.
I don't see ghosts and goblins, those are satans beings. The reason I distrust the reason for hyping this is that the only major news source carrying it is foxnews. Nothing on AP, NPR, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, Reuters, or any other major news outlet. Simply foxnews and right wing blogs.
Do you even know doxie ? What was the basis within her post that tipped you off to a desire to keep people from being counted. Where is the tip off that the poster is a "red neck republican".
You're the one making the red neck republican accusation. I don't know doxie and was just asking for a source. Once a source was pasted in and not linked I knew there was something a miss. Again I ask why no other news agency is covering this "huge story"?
The google search has several links within the querry that have a 6.9 meg pdf file with documentation to show the connection of Acorn to the census. That file is to large to post here.
Your psychic powers amaze me.
The only point made in you post is that you drink democratic cool aid.
Okay so ACORN is involved, what is the problem? We know from the past that when anyone they hire is caught doing wrong they cooperate fully with the authorities to pursue justice.
I happen to like my deomcratic cool aid, you can keep your republican kool aid.
For the record ACORN did turn in falsified voter registration forms. However anyone collecting voter registration forms is required by law to turn them in, not judge if they are fraudulent or not. ACORN did in fact cooperate fully in the prosecution of those found to be comitting fraud.
As to my psychic powers, I see a man in a cool dark place near water typing the original post. There is also something coming through, two words, association and tax.... :scratch:

I'm not telling them my income...........what party am I?
IIRC it's a range unless you are selected for an in depth Census.

The information gathered by the census can only be used for statistical and data purposes and individual information is not shared with any other government agency.

Ten years ago, I probably went along with this. However, with todays' advancements in comiliing information, I don't know.....maybe they do share.....all, except for the CIA, FBI, INS, other gov't agencies, etc......

ACORN aided in the prosecution of Mickey Mouse? How was this accomplished?

Nice spin there, Mr. Rove would be glowing with pride.
Since you got confused by my original statement, let me clarify. The small contingency of people who supposedly registered Mickey Mouse, the Dallas Cowboys, and various movie stars were the ones charged with voter fraud and ACORN was happy to assist in their prosecution.

Good for them. Goes to show you got to be careful who you work with. I wonder how long it was before they started naming names.
