On this point about just re-typing your address into a google map and changing the lat/long is over simplifying this issue Theophilus. They are doing this in a way that they can and you can be SURE that it will work for them. I don’t believe it’s not a big deal!! Mostly, I agree what you post but I can’t fall in behind this one. I, too am an evangelical Christian Conservative. Bottom line however, we must trust God.!! CO

Moreover, if an emergency is reported, the marker can be downloaded to emergency vehicles and they can find it faster.

That could be of benefit-- however the data collected by the Census takers is confidential/private for use by Feds only.

I used commercial GPS (for a federal job) in the 90’s when there was a 100m longitudinal and a 156m latitudinal scramble. The units that these people are using are not that bad, but tend to wobble and wander a good bit.

They are not counting doors. Not all who work for them are convinced it is good to be too precise, either.

Don’t want a visit - live behind a locked gate that looks like it goes nowhere. if you can’t do that, put up beware of dog signs, many worker bees will guess rather than take a chance.

Hmmm - long time since I have worked for a governmental agency where I had to learn about access, but the truth is probably somewhere between, and your sheriff probably more wrong than the kid, unfortunately. The law allows access to private lands for a variety of official reasons. However, some private property owners (Biltmore House, for instance) get a lot more property rights than others. Generally, it is simpler and better for get permission or and escort, but they are able to get their way in the end.
Simpler to hide or make it less appealing to come on your land.

The constitution might say a census is taken every ten years but where is the mandate for me to participate ?

Okay...I don’t understand how they “mark” your door....is it something which can be removed....or is it a “placemarker” on their electronic gizmo?

Through a hand-held computer that has a GPS included with it. It records the exact location of where the census worker is standing on your property. No "marker" is left at your home.

My front curb is about 30 ft from the door, so they didn’t even have to enter my yard.

Ideally, the census wants the GPS spot closer to the home. Map spotting on the curb isn't considered acceptable.

That is truly amazing since the census taking does not start until 2010.

All the possible and right addresses of living quarters must be compiled before the census forms can be mailed out.

Doesn't the US Postal Service verify addresses? Why not talk to them?

Because the Postal Service doesn't deliver to address where no one is presently living but could live at the time the Census forms are mailed out.

Constitutionally mandated census ... it is just number of people in the house? I assume ages, etc., is more than is strictly necessary?

Here is what a form looks like:

And why employ additional census workers when equipping the local mail delivery person would cost less in additional man hours.

That wouldn't work. There are residences that aren't occupied presently that can and will be when the Census forms are sent out. The Census has to have the mailing address of every possible residence.

I don’t know what GPS marking means. How do they do it?

A GPS location is indicated by the census taker's hand-held computer and he or she marks the spot on a map given to them by the computer.

I think we should take pictures of all the census people and post their images on the net. Why should they not be made to feel uncomfortable. Why should they be allowed to hide?

>>”I really hope all this crap is rumors, because if it isn’t, then it’s time for CWII.”<<

It’s true. They ‘marked’ us today while we were away from the house. Not sure what I would have done if we were here.

CWII coming soon I think. Hopefully we can do it without firing a shot and just vote the bastards out.

WHAT ARE THEY PAINTING THE DOORS WITH? I just got a new door. I didn’t see paint on the old one or the new one. Is it really paint or what?

No. They’re marking the longitude and latitude of your front door in their data base, using hand held GPS units. “Painting” is a figure of speech.
