    Census Bureau Severs Ties with ACORN

    The Census Director has sent a letter to the National Headquarters of ACORN notifying the group that the Census Bureau is severing all ties with the community organizing group for all work having to do with the 2010 census.

    Hopefully this is just a beginning of things to come.....but something tells me barry won't let too much become of this...

    Don't believe it OR fall for it!! They will hire the EXACT same people to do this to us. They will just no longer belong to ACORN!! These people think we are stupid. They may be right. We are letting them get away with this. It IS our fault!!

    Go back to having the Federal Employees run and handle the census. There is enough of them around, h*ll for that matter they are hiring them at a rate of 10k a month. They are civil servants who should be able to handle the work, if not fire them.

    I don't trust the census because it is now being handled by the Executive brach and Obama cannot be trusted with anything. The census is NOT an executive responsibility. The government should be requiered to work within it's legal bounds.

    do you all realize that the question that has been asked for as long as the cenus has been taken of "are you an AMERICAN CITIZEN" is no longer being asked and is not on the form....this is the 1st time that question has been omitted...wonder way that is...........

    Obama and Co. are out to destroy our country and turn it over to illegals, bums and mal-contents. They are winning. It is just over a year to the 2010 elections. If we vote in ONE incumbent, in ANY federal level office we get what we ask for. VOTE THE BUMS OUT!! Take away the power from the "Puppet Master" Stopping tax payments will be the next step. WE HAVE the power to act and take back what is rightfully ours. IF WE WANT IT!! Continue done the same path and we lose it all and it will be OUR fault. I have the courage to do it, DO YOU? Cowards ALWAYS lose. FIGHT THEM!! Fight them at the ballot box first, the tax system next and in the streets if needed. TAKE CONTROL OF THEM NOW!!!
