The more people who get right back in their face, the sooner they will realise tthat they have overstepped their authority. They already GPS'd every front door in the US.
FUBO and your unconstitutional "census".
Also following the Cloward–Piven strategy, when you answer the question quickly you minimize their cost. If you make them send two copies, reminder letters, reminder phone calls and finally multiple personal visits you drive up their cost and make it less likely they can afford to do even more of it. Even if you do buckle under at least make it expensive for them.
I did exactly as you stated, just the number of people living in the house. They sent someone out and told me I had to answer them all. I responded by saying I answered the questions they were Constitutionally allowed to ask and that is all I would do. They didn’t threaten, but told me how “important” this info was to my community, and I was basically robbing them of information they could use to get government funds.
I said that was too bad, and they left. That was 3 years ago.
I’m not going to give you grief over your response. I just don’t want to see it come back to bite you on the posterior.
I think non-compliance provides it’s own noticeable protest. They’re not blind to the fact they’re not getting the information they want.
Trouble is, if only one household in twenty does answer the community portion of the questionnaire, they’ll have the information they want whether you and I respond on that point or not.
Yes, I understand they have GPSed our front doors.
And yes, I have the same contempt you do concerning that.
Sorry for the lag in response...
