| So the census worker showed up today and caught my wife at home. She only gave him names and how many live in our house. He asked all the other questions and she declined, which he didn't have any problem with. When he asked if she was hispanic her reply was "Do I look hispanic?" We are both as fair complected as they come. I guess they have to ask. The really interesting thing was when she told the guy that we had already sent in the form, he said he knew that but most of the information for our neighborhood, or area, (she couldn't remember his exact word) had been lost. He said their information showed almost every home in our neighborhood as vacant. Some are, but that is not the case in general. I'm a little troubled that all that info has just been "lost". FWIW I live in the 6th district represented by Michele Bachmann. Hopefully that connection is just my tinfoil hat being on a little tight. |

| The DFL have been gunning for her for a long time and will find any excuse they can to get rid of her. "Losing" census data to give the appearance of many fewer people living in that district is one tactic they'll use to make it happen. It's a wonder they sent someone door-to-door to verify what was sent in. |
