I don't know how Freepers have received a letter from the United States Department of Commerce relating to the American Community Survey but my neighbor did and was appalled at the questions.
It is fourteen pages long and one of the most intrusive invasions on Privacy Rights I have ever seen.
Here is the questions you are, according to their laws, REQUIRED to answer:

Don’t respond.
Is this in addition to the short form census?
I did this over the phone about November 2009, and also received the short form in the mail months later.
n/a
If you get harassed further, point them to your lawyer.
If that fails, post here for posse volunteers.
[Dont respond.]
I have researched some of reply’s of folks who have already received the questionnaire. When they have refused to complete the form, they are first hounded by telephone then relentless and belligerent personal visits at their door.
If they don’t answer the door, they post messages on their door, demanding under penalty of law, they complete the form.
Can you invoke your 5th amendment rights not to answer?
[Is this in addition to the short form census?]
Yes, they have targeted a certain percentage of the population.
Take the “5th”!
DO NOT FILL IT OUT!
Does anyone know if this long form is legitimate? Could it be one of the numerous hoaxes being perpetrated to get private info?
vaudine
“c. Does this person have difficulty dressing or
bathing?”
WTF???????? Totally insane!
[Can you invoke your 5th amendment rights not to answer?]
You can try but this regime on been tearing up our ‘rights’ for almost two years now.
Perhaps you missed this but on 20 January, 2009, our Constitution and subsequent amendments ceased to be operative.
I understand that if the Stroker Regime is able to maintain control of either house of Congress in November, there will be a formal shredding ceremony of these documents scheduled for 20 January, 2011 at noon on the Capitol steps.
Carry on.
I have seen this form before, about 2004 or 2005. I lie on this form. Claim to be a high school dropout, and all that rot. I’m in Minnestoopid, so I play chameleon here.
No. The 5th Amendment protects you from self-incrimination. But in this case nobody accuses you of a crime.
[long form is legitimate?]
According to the regime...yes.
I like that idea. Fill it out. Imaginary people. If they question you, claim you have undiagnosed/untreated multiple personality disorder, you think, and you’re not sure how many people actually live with you!
Just FYI sweetheart, nobody has any civic duty any longer.
The social contract between the government and the governed officially died with passage of the Health Takeover.
The Constitution was circumvented and ignored, therefore there is no longer any valid Federal government, period.
Arguably, civic duty may have died with the flubbed swearing-in of an illegal alien as President who got there with the collusive assistance of a treasonous Congressional bureaucracy. But whatever the actual date of dissolution of the social contract, its contractual authority is well and truly buried in the past.
The government is in flagrant violation of its Constitutional contract, and therefore the terms of the contractual obligations by the other party (us) are null and void. Nobody owes the Federal political infrastructure anything, financial or logistical, with the possible exception of substantial redress.
