I received a letter from the Census Bureau yesterday.
Submitted by LadyHawke on Tue, 03/09/2010 - 10:25
The letter said that I would be getting a census form in about a week. So they spent the money to send out a letter to tell people that they're going to get a letter??? I wonder how much THAT cost us. |

It is five pages long, 10 questions obout me on the first page and 7 questions on each person on the rest of the pages.

ANSWER ONLY ONE (repeat) ONLY ONE QUESTION on the Census form:
How many people reside at any residence.
[U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 2]
DO NOT (repeat) DO NOT answer ANY other questions.
DId exactly that today
And a little note to explain, along with a reading list to educate. Besides there's no names or signatures, could have been the Easter bunny who returned it.
In NM, they are fining for every question not answered
Are they doing that everywhere?
Why worry
I only provide whats stated in the constitution. They can fine you all day long, but in front of a jury how do think it would play out.
the fine ...
~
The fine, previously set at $100 for the 2000 Census, has been raised significantly for 2010 in an apparent attempt to frighten and coerce the public into compliance.
However,
applying the rule of statutory construction, if this statute is to be construed in a way to render it constitutional, then “any of the questions” that § 221 (a) refers to are only those that are necessary to enumerate you. You may only be lawfully fined if you refuse to disclose the number of persons residing in your household. This specifically does not include “a wide variety of information.” This is the law. The Bill of Rights, Amendment X, Reserved Power to States reads:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people ...

Yup, I got one too addressed to
"Resident". I don't claim to be "Resident" as he/she gets all the junk mail. lol Guess nobody's filling it out here! ;-)
What are you fightin' for?

Warning Letter Arrives Without Warning!
Please enjoy:

LOL!
Hilarious.
They're sending out a warning for the census letter.
So we need a warning for the warning for the census.
Then a warning for the warning for the warning for the census.
Then a warning for the warning for the warning for the warning for the census.
Recursively ...
Perjury?
Is the census done "under penalty of perjury" like a lot of other government forms?
Is it possible just to enter how many people live at the address, and not all of their names, ethnicities, ages, height/weight/etc.?
Would the government put you in jail for making stuff up?
If you don't answer the census thoroughly,
the gov't won't know how many traffic lights your town needs. You'd be stuck at crowded 4-way stops and no one in your town would be able to figure out what to do about it all because you didn't answer your census thoroughly.
It's true. I heard it on the radio.
Defend Liberty!
It seems to me
that all the traffic light decisions in my county/town are made by the county/city planners and the money comes from local taxes. Remember, the tax we pay to the feds only pays the interest we don't really owe to the federal reserve. So, the census may have had a purpose when federal money actually trickled down to the people but now more than ever it does not help us in any way, They just want info on YOU.
The number of people in the house should take care of that
they really don't need to know about the bathrooms to figure out the stop lights. Unless of course if they are factoring in how much time people spend in the bathroom and removing that time from the amount of time they will spend on the streets. I hope they are calculating that my sister spends four times the amount of time in the bathroom that I do. Hmmm, maybe I should tell them that on the senseless.
LOL! I could tell them that!!
The traffic lights in this town are either way too long or way too short!
What are you fightin' for?
Caught in the middle?

What's your definition of 'please'
That's what mine says, but it does say to mail it in promptly. 'Please' to me is asking, not a demand to fill it out.
Real eyes realize real lies

Wipe your.......with it and......use it as
toilet paper. Then give it to the census takers.
Why not Diebold?
Now, here's a thought to save the gov't buckets of money: since Diebold and the like are so reliable for accurate results, why not conduct the census using that system?
On a specified day, or range of days, people could go to polling booths (only they'd be called "census booths"), fill out their forms, and be done with it. No follow-up necessary due to the high accuracy of those systems.
Conversely, if that would prove not to give accurate results, why aren't there streams of Thoughtful Government Types combing the streets after elections to confirm that votes had been tabulated correctly?
|:-)
Further:
Why is this headcount -- mandated by the Constitution for the purposes of accurate representation in Congress -- administered by the Department of Commerce??
They could even do the census
at the time of voting. Just add a question onto the ballot-how many people are in your house. That is all they are allowed to ask. Then maybe more people would vote, would figure out where the voting place is and figure out how to use those stupid machines that won't let you vote for third parties or write-ins and won't tell you who the incumbents are in the general. Maybe it would make people wake up to voter fraud and make people start paying an ounce of attention to elections. People I talked to before the primary didn't even know what planet I was talking about.
I love this idea.
If it's good enough to "elect" our representatives, it's good enough for the census.

Are you an employee or
Are you an employee or officer of the United states Corporation? If not then you are not required to answer the census. The only census you are required to answer it that of the republic and that hasn't been done in probably 60 years. Tell them to pound sand!
In the past before I understood this I told them my religious belief forbids me from being enumerated by anyone but God. That worked every time.
Anything I get from them I will send back unopened marked "Refused for cause"

What are you talking about?
I didn't understand what you are saying from your brief comment.
Do you have a website or something that could explain in detail what you mean by US corporation? And how 60 years ago, it was a US census, and now it's not?
And was the last US census done by Eisenhower? Or Kennedy?

crappy Census form?? Does anyone know?

You receive a visit from your friendly neighborhood census man, and he asks you various inane questions about your current living arrangements.
Too detailed
The constitution authorized a census for the purpose of allocating votes.
These days, they ask highly intrusive questions which are mostly for 2 reasons:
1) for social "scientists" to study and come up with yet more government programs to fix society
2) for corporations to mine the data for marketing and product targeting purposes
This has nothing to do with the original purpose of the census.
