Census Bureau Severs Ties With ACORN
The video activism of James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles has borne fruit:
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. ACORN had previously been tapped to help with low level data gathering. A copy of the Director's letter has been sent to Congress and relevant committees, as well as ACORN.
This latest news comes as two more ACORN officials were fired Friday after a second video surfaced showing staffers in the community organizers' Washington office offering to help a man and woman posing as a pimp and prostitute acquire illegal home loans that would help them set up a brothel. . . .
More at the link. I just got off the phone with Christian youth leader Doug Giles, whose 20-year-old daughter played the role of the prostitute "Kenya" in the now-famous videos.
"A lot of young activists just caught fire," said Giles. "I'd like to take credit, but it was all Hannah."
Giles said he has received an overwhelming response, entirely positive except for one negative e-mail from a "knucklehead."
As for the "community organizer" group exposed by the video at Andrew Breitbart's BigGovernment.com, Giles said jokingly, "Those ACORN people are sweating in their nut-sacks."

"Severs ties with ACORN", but more than likely this will be form over substance. Individual ACORN thugs will work on the census.

Even though democrats own congress, the presidency and the media we're still pushing them around.
Like Dick Morris said, "Conservatives are driven by beliefs and ideals, we don't need leaders to effect change."

Before everyone pops the champagne be aware that ACORN has hundreds of "affiliates" -- organizations identical to ACORN except for the name. I am sure that these groups will quickly fill the void left by ACORN's departure. derekcrane

I agree with Jim and derek. This was too easy. The census is only one thing they have their cancerous cells in.

All in agreement with this should contact their state legislators and demand that our government stop funding Acorn with our tax dollars!!!!!!
