They came to our house last week. My husband told her to leave and she said she was taking the census. He told her we could do that on our own and to leave. She was offended and threw her arms up like he was holding her up. We are sure we are marked now! I was disturbed. My husband was pissed!
BS, they have no business marking anything.
I DON’T TRUST THIS GOVERNMENT.
Come and take it!
Shall I expect a missile next visit? I don’t think this is right for this Government to be trusted with GPS coordinates of the citizens, a street address for taxes is enough
But, why bother with all of the manual work? There are already plats, deeds, title records etc., plus plenty of high res satellite photos. This is taking accuracy to a ridiculous level. I wonder what other data they're correlating to the GPS point?
OK, here is what I think it is. The census takers inputs to his hand held device can be correlated to existing databases generated by satellite imagery of every structure in the country. This will improve the accuracy of the census by verifying that more residences have been visited and that the census taker is not overlooking places or making up results.
The census is Constitutionally mandated for the essential purpose of apportionment. I therefore support and cooperate with it for that purpose only. I will not voluntarily supply any of my governments with any other sociological data. They get the numbers of people living in my household from me and that is all. I don't care if they take a GPS reading. Good for them if they are trying to be more accurate.
And why employ additional census workers when equipping the local mail delivery person would cost less in additional man hours.
I wonder how they would like it if someone decides to publish the Lat/Lon for donors to the democratic party as well as media personalities as a collection of place marks for the Google Earth Viewer
It would be an interesting graphic to see where their homes and places of business or employment are. It would also connect the dots...like William Ayers.
Google Earth can be a friend or enemy.

The link you posted to is the US Census website. The logo at the bottom of the page is
Notice that some letters are light blue. Pull those out and you get "SEURA". Wiktionary defines "seura" as:
Finnish
Noun
seura
1. company (visitors, companionship)
pitää seuraa = to keep company
2. society, association
I'm not seeing a coincidence here. (Not seeing an evil conspiracy either, but is interestingly deliberate.)
Damn scary scenario playing out here!!
This info is then down loaded into a data base that is govt. controlled.
.
and where they leave the laptops is anyone’s guess
They are NOT, I repeat, NOT marking anything. They are recording the location of residences.
George Soros' office?
I will queu up my dog to mark its teritory on the ACORN volunteer’s shoes.
That’s essentially it. Addresses are horrible. Your house address is being replaced with a GPS market.
I hate to say this, but to me, this makes a lot of sense.
Donning my flame suit. . .
It’s a more precise indicator of your address than the current one. Moreover, if an emergency is reported, the marker can be downloaded to emergency vehicles and they can find it faster.
Here’s the thing about using it against you. Every call 911? How long, and how many units responded?
If the $hit hits the fan, and Obama, or anyone else, decides to turn the place into a police state, it will be because we’ll have will it to be.
The country is too big, with too many people, to control by force of arms. Holding prisoners, even holding ONE prisoner, is so labor, time, and money intensive that it isn’t practical to do without loads of dedicated voluteers.
In essence, what I’m saying is that the US won’t need the GPS marker to find your house - your neighbor will have reported the exact location and tactical details of your house anyway.
The time for outrage passed awhile back. In the last 30 years they have managed to link your health records and your financial information together using your SSN.
My house can’t get up and walk away. I can. I’ll panic when they ask me to put a chip in my hand or my forehead.
Guess we’re going to have to move into the RV and hit the road. Let the bastards record our coordinates all they want. When they come back for confirmation, we’ll be long gone.
I shouldn’t have written, we don’t have to answer as an official reply. But here’s what’s on the census website.
Census Bureau Submits Questions for 2010 Census and American Community Survey to Congress
MARCH 31, 2008 – The U.S. Census Bureau submitted to Congress the questions it will ask for the 2010 Census.
The questions on gender, age, race, ethnicity, relationship and whether you own or rent your home are essentially the same as those asked in 2000, with some improvements designed to help reduce respondent confusion.
Estimated to take less than 10 minutes to complete, the 2010 Census will be one of the shortest and easiest to complete since the nation’s first census in 1790.
The Census Bureau also submitted the questions for the American Community Survey (ACS) — the new yearly survey that eliminates the need for a decennial long-form questionnaire and provides key socioeconomic and housing data about the nation’s changing population every year rather than once a decade.
Three new questions in the 2008 ACS gather data about health insurance coverage, marital history, and military service-related disability status.
How much is this costing us?
It would have come in very handy in Iraq for pinpointing insurgents. (Their address system in the mahalas borders between confusing to non-existent.)
In America, with a database of everyone's home location, I could, in theory, take a person and his known associates, and map out their locations for a variety of purposes.
With a bit of Google Earth mapping, I could equip a poorly trained mob with clear pictures of their target house.
With access to law enforcement databases, I could get you far more detailed information for detailed surveillance. Make, model and license of car, for instance.
With the right air dropped munition, I could kill everyone inside your house and not scratch your neighbor's paint.
