Representative Won’t Fill Out Census Over Concern With ACORN’s Involvement

June 20, 2009

  Concern over the involvement of ACORN in the upcoming census has led one congresswoman to vow not to complete the census. Representative Michele Bachmann said in an interview that she will fill out the number of people that live in her household and will leave all the other questions blank.

know for my family the only question we will be answering is how many people are in our home,” she said. “We won’t be answering any information beyond that, because the Constitution doesn’t require any information beyond that

  Knowing ACORN’s history of abuse and fraud she claims that she is afraid that the information provided to the government in the 2010 census will be abused.

They will be in charge of going door to door and collecting data from the American public,” she said. “This is very concerning

  Her concern is well founded. The organization that is notorious for voter fraud and registering voters multiple times, as well as registering Micky Mouse, will be involved in the actual enumeration of the population. Don’t you get the feeling that it won’t be so “actual” once ACORN is involved?

  Representative   Bachmann is taking a stand against a group that should not be allowed anywhere near something as important as the census and I commend her for it.

  For ACORN, being involved in the census is like hitting the lottery. Think about how outrageous it is that an organization facing multiple lawsuits for voter registration fraud will be involved in the process that decides how many representatives each state has in congress. It is insane.

  Somebody has to take a stand and let the administration know that allowing ACORN anywhere near this process is totally and utterly unacceptable. I am glad that Representative Bachmann is standing up for us.
