While there may have been a collective sigh of relief across America after the news that the Census Bureau severed ties with ACORN, it made me wonder who other Census partners were.
In short, ACORN or not, the 2010 census will be an organizing tool for the American Left.
Here is a partial list of other census partners, according to the Census website:
AARP A. Phillip Randolph Institute AFL-CIO American Federation of Government Employees AFSCME American Federation of Teachers Coalition of Labor Union Women Coalition of Black Trade Unionists Community Action Partnership Families USA International Brotherhood of Teamsters Labor Council for the Latin American Advancement League of Women Voters of the United States National Black Justice Coalition National Council of La Raza National Education Association Pride at Work Rainbow Push Coalition Service Employees International Union Southern Coalition for Social Justice United Workers
My problem all along is that overtly political organizations, say SEIU or ACORN, would be out collecting sensitive information on Americans. What would stop them from zapping off one copy of personal information for themselves as they submit it to the Census Bureau? The federal government We will essentially be paying organized labor and “social justice” organizations to recruit new members.
With such a tight grip on the Census by the Obama administration and its allies, one wonders what the end result will be and if it can be trusted.
