The census goons are almost to my house.
I guess they're coming to collect my information. Best plan of action? I'm leaning toward just ignoring them until they go away. |

If you ignore them, they will just keep coming back, because they are on the government dole now.
About 1/3 of the census workers are actually casing your house for a burglary. You would have been better off mailing in the form a couple months ago. Only strategy now is to avoid letting them see anything of value. |

I've said it before and I'll say it again.... If you live in a red state, it behooves you to ensure that you're counted so that you get representation in Congress....you know, that organization that will be the only thing to stand in the way of Obama in 2010. If you live in a blue state, well - I don't care. Edit: Oh look. Idaho is a very red state. I'd suggest you don't step on your own dick and ensure you get counted. Either that or don't ever bitch about Congress again. |

Reenact the Christopher Walken Census bit from Saturday Night Live. |

Quoted:
Wait a minute.. How are you talking with them and posting at the same time? Did you let them in your house? If so.. This thread needs actual pictures of Census(less) person.. They left my moms house (very close) so they have to be heading here. And hell no they aren't in my house. |

I have the following prepared if they show up. “I hereby affirm that the provisions of Title 13 “requiring” me to disclose my race, personal financial data, birth date, or any other personal, private information to the Bureau of the Census, an agency of the United States government; constitutes an unreasonable, unwarranted search of my person, house, papers, and/or effects; and a governmental invasion of the sanctity of my home and the privacy of life. As such, these provisions violate the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution, and are thus wholly void and I am not bound to obey them. I have completed the only those sections of the Census form pertaining to the Constitutionally-mandated actual enumeration, as follows: 1. The actual number of people living at the address printed on the form, excluding untaxed Native Americans; 2. Age of each person in accordance with US Constitution. Amendment XIV, Section 2. 3. Sex of each person, in accordance with US Constitution. Amendment XIV, Section 2. I have thus fulfilled my obligation to the attainment of the actual enumeration of the populace of the United States. Any fine or other sanction that is levied by any office or organization stemming from the unconstitutional provisions of Title 13 in connection with my response to this or any other Census-related questioning will be challenged in a court of law.” |
| They ask for names and DOBs because they use that info to make sure someone else is not claiming you live there and so you are not double counted. Makes sense I suppose. all that other crap has to do with laws which are of questionable constitutionality, such as that damn community reinvestment act thing that certainly did nothing positive for our economy. Used to work for the census, so we found out what all the info is used for. They are also pretty serious about confidentiality. If they fire someone and they refuse to turn in even blank forms, if they don't cooperate after the first gfew tries, they will have LEOs at their door. Supposedly they even tell the IRS to GFT. |

Give them your info.... Failing to do so makes it more likely your state will lose representation in Congress because of it. |
