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. Read the actual letter Here
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.
ACORN had previously been tapped to help with low level data gathering for the 2010 census. A copy of the director’s letter has been sent to Congress and relevant committees, as well as ACORN.
Two more ACORN workers were fired Friday after a second video surfaced, this time showing staff members in the community organizers’ Washington office offering to help the undercover man and woman acquire illegal home loans that would help them set up a brothel.
