GOP Mail Fake 2010 Census Forms as Fundraiser
Washington (March 11) – According to a Rapid Response email received moments ago from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the House had to rush to ban a fake Census letter being sent out by the Republican National Committee. The vote passed the U.S. House of Representative. 416-0 to ban the misleading fundraising letter.
These mailings disguised as a Census Letter were simply a fundraising “tactic” set-up and paid for by the RNC.
Fears the mailings would confuse the general public, and askew the real Census being held at this time, all materials any further mailings will be prohibited by this “Act of Congress”
These “fake” mailings were sent so the RNC and NRCC, could fill their campaign accounts with cash from misleading and deceptive practices, leaving the Taxpayers to “foot the bill”.
In an email sent by, Jon Vogel, DCCC Executive Director stated, these fake “Census” forms would have cost the taxpayers “$85 million” to send out census workers to re-count the “Census” for every one percent of decreased mail responses by confused citizens.
Jon Vogel, “Republicans once again made clear they will do anything for campaign cash. The news of these fake Census surveys comes on the heels of the leaked outrageously offensive RNC presentation which showed they planned to use fear through socialist imagery to win the elections next November.
You have my assurance that the DCCC will never send anything like this to you, our valued supporters, or to any American taxpayer. “
The GOP really has no shame.

The confusion was/is this article was published on the 11th – not the date of the vote…
Keep it civil Scott W.
Not BS but funny that the DCCC feels it is above stuff like this. Come on Politics is politics….
[...] and that’s not good for the real Census. Fortunately, it appears the practice will be banned in the future, with even Republicans in the House realizing how heinous this really [...]
No such vote was taken on March 11 or 12. Look at the house voting for the day. Show me the proof . What was passed was an request for an investigation into the Massa incident. And who knew what when. Go read the votes for the day instead of this junk
Lol Factchecker — I guess you need to do a little better research.. the link is posted above in JK’s comment
I think you might want to change that to “Lost in Jersey” LMAO
I was incorrect… It was the 10th. The story said the 11th
