The census is under the commerce dept to prevent political interference. I have investigated your claim about 2000 and find nothing and believe that the census was completed under the Clinton WH.
...
This in addition until the %^&* hit the fan on ACORN they in fact were the first choice by this WH to be the prime organization to conduct the census !

1) Remember, this was after the GOP won the House. I remember the "undercounting" complaints but there was nothing as formal as, say, congressional hearings about it.

2) Given the numbers I saw in my research, there's NO WAY ACORN could have been the prime contractor. There's just too many places to cover where ACORN doesn't exist. Now, I *do* agree with you that ACORN was being considered in many cities to be *a* major contractor. Easy to remember that since Judd Gregg is from my state so we heard a LOT when he took his name out from being considered for that appointment.

and most importantly, it was not run from the White House as this WH want(s)(ed)

And, coincidentally, I got my census forms in the mail today. They certainly didn't come from ACORN. To be honest, with all the scams going around, I was looking for any indication that these were spoofs or frauds of some kind.
