Topic: Census Bureau Severs ACORN Ties | |
---|---|
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.
"Over the last several months, through ongoing communication with our regional offices, it is clear that ACORN's affiliation with the 2010 Census promotion has caused sufficient concern in the general public, has indeed become a distraction from our mission, and may even become a discouragement to public cooperation, negatively impacting 2010 Census efforts," read a letter from Census Director Robert M. Groves to the president of ACORN. "Unfortunately, we no longer have confidence that our national partnership agreement is being effectively managed through your many local offices. For the reasons stated, we therefore have decided to terminate the partnership," the letter said. The news follows the firing Friday of two more ACORN employees after new hidden-camera footage showed workers for the group advising a couple posing as a pimp and prostitute how to subvert the law. Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) reacted to the news Friday night, applauding the decision by the Census Bureau. "ACORN had no business working on the Census. ACORN’s partisan election efforts and its involvement in criminal conduct rightly disqualified it from working on the non-partisan mission of the Census to accurately and honestly count the U.S. population," Rep. Issa said. Two got fired yesterday for shady practices and today two more get fired for similar fraud! I sure am glad we have ACORN!!! oh what would we ever do without them ![]() ![]() |

Sounds reasonable to me, the census should not be jeopardized by the bad apples in any organization, right or left leaning.
Now if we could get the left and right wing nuts out of washinton... |

Inside Obama’s Acorn
By their fruits ye shall know them. By Stanley Kurtz What if Barack Obama’s most important radical connection has been hiding in plain sight all along? Obama has had an intimate and long-term association with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (Acorn), the largest radical group in America. If I told you Obama had close ties with MoveOn.org or Code Pink, you’d know what I was talking about. Acorn is at least as radical as these better-known groups, arguably more so. Yet because Acorn works locally, in carefully selected urban areas, its national profile is lower. Acorn likes it that way. And so, I’d wager, does Barack Obama. |

"What if Barack Obama’s most important...."

Here's another group who owns BHO to the tune of $500,000.00.
As Barack Obama is sworn in as President of the United States of America, we are more mindful than ever of the Promises for Peace he made to the American people during his campaign, especially his promises to: End the war in Iraq Shut Down Guantánamo Reject the Military Commissions Act Stop Torture Work to eliminate nuclear weapons Hold direct, unconditional talks with Iran. Abide by Senate approved international treaties. CODEPINK's promise to you is to find creative, productive ways to hold Obama to his Promises for Peace. We will be the string around his finger that reminds him to practice what he preaches and deliver the change our country so desperately needs. Please join us in REMINDING OBAMA! Pledge to Hold Obama to his Promises for Peace Take Action! While we are pleased that President Obama is working toward withdrawing our troops from Iraq, we are disheartened by his decision to push that withdrawal back to August, 2010 and leave up to 50,000 residual troops in the area until December, 2011. Given the brutal reality of life for Iraqi war widows and the ongoing refugee crisis, our new administration needs to help rebuild these shattered lives, not further the chaos wrought by Bush. Write a Letter to the Editor about Obama's broken promise on Iraq President Obama has authorized unmanned drone attacks in Pakistan, in direct contravention of international law, and an attack in Afghanistan that resulted in the deaths of many civilians. Tell President Obama, we need a surge in Diplomacy not a Surge of Violence In a statement to the federal court, the Obama Administration has decided to continue Bush's policy of indefinite detention at Bagram prison in Afghanistan. Also known as "the Other Gitmo," Bagram has a record of torture which precedes Abu Ghraib. In addition, several detainees have been in Bagram for more than five years without the ability to contest their detainment or stand trial. With the expansion of the war in Afghanistan and construction to expand the capacity of the prison, it seems likely the number of detainees at Bagram will only grow. Tell Obama that we elected a president who stands on principles, not piecemeal policy. Call (202) 456-1111 to tell Obama, "No More Gitmos!" |

Where is he connected with them? Why do we need to link Obama to their illegal doings? Because it's fun for him, and better than spending any time linking to those on his personal favorite list who have skeletons in their closets. |

Moveon.org, AKA, OBORG
Identity of "Seven of Nine-Twelve" Leader of Anti-OBORG EIT Rebellion Eludes News Media and Obama as 9-11 Nears. By Jim Wrenn, Editor and Washington Bureau Drawer Chief at PoliSat.Com. August 30, 2009-- (Update: To Order Seven of Nine-Twelve Posters for tea parties, town halls, 9-12 project events, etc.: go here.) As first reported yesterday (August 29, 2009), the identify of "Seven of Nine-Twelve" as the leader of the EIT Rebellion Against the OBORG ("EIT" standing for "Enhanced Information Techniques") still eludes the news media and the Obama Administration as we approach the eight-year anniversary of the attacks on 9-11. Today their efforts are intensifying. In yesterday's report, PoliSat.Com's Washington Bureau Drawer Chief cited a highly-reliable source insisting on remaining anonymous (for now) in revealing plans for Seven of Nine-Twelve's identity to be revealed on September 12, 2009 and in publishing an image exclusively obtained by PoliSat.Com showing Seven of Nine-Twelve in her uniform but also wearing a mask to protect her identity between now and September 12, 2009. According to the same source (who is Seven of Nine-Twelve's spokesman), the uniform depicted in the image released is but one of a number of different uniforms Seven of Nine-Twelve may wear. This one displays a chest-logo of "7 of 9-12" inside a triangle. The symbolism of such logo is that the three points of the triangle represent the three points of attack on September 11, 2001: The World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, and what would have been the target of Flight 93, which crashed in Shanksville (in Pennsylvania) without ever reaching its intended target (which most investigators believe to have been either the White House or the halls of Congress). Seven of Nine-Twelve's spokesman explained that the purpose of the EIT Rebellion Against the OBORG is to use the non-violent power of information to combat the OBORG's ongoing attempt to "assimilate" Americans into the OBORG Collective-- thus, the term "Enhanced Information Techniques" (not to be confused with "enhanced interrogation techniques") aptly describes both the strategy and the tactics to be employed by the EIT Rebellion Against the OBORG. Asked whether this concept is similar to "the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment," the spokesman said, "In a way, 'yes,' but don't forget, there's more than one way to skin a bodysuit." Asked to explain this non-sequitur response, the spokesman elaborated: "Of course Seven of Nine-Twelve expects to use entertainment as an attention-getting platform for also conveying accurate information about serious, vitally-important issues about the extent to which the OBORG has begun, and seeks to continue, assimilation of Americans and how Americans may choose to express their individualism as the most effective way for not only preventing further assimilation but also reversing the assimilation that has already taken place. And, in the course of such campaign, Seven of Nine-Twelve may appear in a variety of uniforms or attire, each of which may be particularly 'suited' to accomplishing her mission." This prompted PoliSat.Com's Washington Bureau Drawer Chief to ask: "In light of the fact that it's virtually undisputed that many 'fans' of the Star Trek Voyager 'Seven of Nine' character wished she would have appeared in a much skimpier uniform (and many may have wished for none at all), does your earlier statement about 'more than one way to skin a bodysuit' mean that Seven of Nine-Twelve might appear in a much skimpier uniform or even none at all?" In response, the spokesman said, "Well, that would depend on the context. For example, the subject and content of a particular vignette in the series might require a 'skimpy' uniform. Or, a vignette focusing on the doctor-patient relationship might require none at all in combination with clever videography to avoid crossing the boundary of good taste, as was the case in at least one broadcast episode of Star Trek Voyager about interactions between the 'Seven of Nine' character and the holographic doctor, whose programming had become corrupted, which made him self-aggrandizing, arrogant, elitist, egomaniacal and oppressive in his doctor-patient 'relationship' with 'Seven of Nine' -- sort of like the OBORG Collective plans for Health Care a.k.a. ObamaCare a.k.a. KennedyCare a.k.a. ChappaquidiCare." On a related subject of attire, a wide variety of attire with suitable messages is what's needed for 9-12-09. That's an element of the tea parties and town halls in which a wide array of grass-roots opponents of collectivism have been regularly attending on their own. Notwithstanding Nancy Pelosi's patently ridiculous characterization of such people as "AstroTurf" and her equally patently ridiculous effort to convince the public that the ACORN and SEIU thugs-for-hire who show up at such events to harass the opponents of collectivism in general and ObamaCare in particular at such events are the real "grass roots" people, it seems that large segments of the public have caught-on to the real, mob-for-hire nature of those Pelosi describes as "grass roots." Therefore, real feminists (i.e., conservative/libertarian/pro-defense feminists) desiring to send a patriotic message on (and/or after) September 12, 2009, may want to consider wearing a "REAL Feminists Fete Freedom's Forces Fighting Fanaticism" T-shirt to one of the 9-12 rallies. See image and link above-right. Also, others attending such 9-12 events may want to take with them and display a poster of "Seven of Nine-Twelve" still wearing her mask.

Wth?
So Acorn has a few problems, they have still not been convicted of anything yet as an organization, so all the hot air about them and all the hoopla about their problems still means absolutely squat to any person who has a semblence of intelligence enough to see the problems with making them monsters and Obama with them. Then we go down to the post about some crazy crap that was such a waste of reading time for me. I could not even get the normal good laugh out of it. |
