I have no reason to question William R. Butler’s motive or sincerity, (Apr 10 - Don’t confuse Acorn with 2010 Census) but Acorn’s record as a community activist organization gives every reason to question their involvement in the U.S. Census for 2010. A record of some of their questionable practices is available to interested readers, on the internet, (Google - Acorn Political).

Mr. Butler states, “Acorn signed on as a national partner with the U.S. Census Bureau in February 2009 to assist with the recruitment of temporary workers to go door-to-door to update addresses and mapping.”

We know that this procedure has a distinct bearing on our election process, including legislative re-districting. Based on Acorn workers past record of improprieties, I submit that it is not unreasonable for a prudent person to be suspicious of their involvement in the Census process.

The emails were hilarious. Thanks, guys! By the way, my computer is for sale. It is taking up too much of my time so I won't be able to read blogs anymore.

Obviously, my comment before the last one was censored...and I'm glad. I figured out who Prigslayer is. He may think he's a "slayer" but those that know him know he has no "layer," no depth. Just more of the same redundant junk.

I thought they just did a census within the past 3 years. Am I wrong?

One question - is this org. connected in anyway to ACORN? In the past this area has been hiring the residents to do the census.

There is so much corruption in the ACORN org. that if one were to come to my home, I would be afraid that they would misrepresent any information that I might relay.

If a census taker comes to my home I will ask if he is connected in any way to that org. If if he is I will refuse to give out any information.

"great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss other people" personal insults say more about you than the one you insult! EXCHANGE IDEAS NOT INSULTS
