To: EternalVigilance
I got something in the mail from the Commerce Dept./US Census Bureau today.

It is addressed to “Resident”.

It says my “address” (not me “personally”) have been asked to participate in the “American Community Survey”, which will arrive in a few days.

It came with a letter and a brochure (in several languages) that says it collects information on “education, housing, and jobs” to “decide where schools, highways, hospitals, and other services are needed”.

I says that I am required by law to respond.

Wait a darn minute! How did I become fortunate enough to have to take the “regular census” and this “American Community Survey” nonsense?

Doesn't the 10 year Census tell them all they need to know?

Why do this (under penalty of law) twice?

They are spending our tax dollars twice here but to what end?

Any thoughts?

If you didn’t sign for it, throw it away, they can’t prove you got it. Make life difficult for them.
