From Justin Amash's page:

Here's the roll call for Amendment 153 to H R 1, which transfers $80 million from the Census to the Economic Development Administration. The Constitution mandates the Census. The EDA, a corporate welfare program, is not constitutionally authorized. I voted no. It passed 305-127.

I don't know why Dr. Paul voted for it exactly. But we did have a fun little discussion about it here:
