A.C.O.R.N. Insinuating Itself Into 2010 Census

Does anyone think this is a good idea? Other than liberals who don’t care if elections are fair or not I mean.

“It’s a concern, especially when you look at all the different charges of voter fraud. And it’s not just the lawmakers’ concern. It should be the concern of every citizen in the country,” Rep. Lynn A. Westmoreland, R-Ga., vice ranking member of the subcommittee for the U.S. Census, told FOXNews.com. “We want an enumeration. We don’t want to have any false numbers.”

ACORN, which claims to be a non-partisan grassroots community organization of low- and moderate-income people, came under fire in 2007 when Washington State filed felony charges against several paid ACORN employees and supervisors for more than 1,700 fraudulent voter registrations. In March 2008, an ACORN worker in Pennsylvania was sentenced for making 29 phony voter registration forms. The group’s activities were frequently questioned in the 2008 presidential election.

ACORN spokesman Scott Levenson told FOXNews.com that “ACORN as an organization has not been charged with any crime.” He added that fears that the organization will unfairly influence the census are unfounded.

“It will be the Census Bureau that determines the role and scope of its 300 national partners. ACORN is committed to a fair and accurate count,” Levenson said.

This is just a horrid idea all the way around. Those who work for ACORN can’t be trusted, those who run ACORN can’t be trusted. This needs to be stopped, now. Make sure it stops with you, no A.C.O.R.N. in MY town!
