"BTW: Isn’t it better to get counted so that maybe your state (unless you live in a liberal area) gets to keep that one Republican Rep?"

Please explain. I'm 100% ignorant on this.
How does the number of counted people cause a Rep rep to be kept or removed?

Thanks

Exactly. Except one, I’m thinking that those refusing to answer any other question should answer “native American” for race, provided of course you were born here.

I'll go with 'human'. Tough tittie if these bleeps have a problem with that.

Might even ask them, ''What's the problem? Aren't YOU a member of that race?''

Wait until they want to install a bum in your place. Oh yeah, you’ve got room.

We got ours and it’s in the outgoing mail today. It is nowhere near as invasive as the 2000 census (on which we only recorded number of residents). It merely asked for number of residents, and the name/age/sex/race of said residents. Except for race, these are the same things recorded about my immigrant ancestors. So we filled it out for posterity. :)

Te cencus dude has been to our house twice today. Aa a matter of fact he is parked out front right now....ROTFLMAO!
We answered the first question and mailed it in.

Too bad cencus dude, we are not opening the door for you.
My wife wanted to make funny faces at him through the window.....but I talked her out of it.... LOL!
