I’d just politely say that I don’t believe in their political agenda and that i’m not interested in talking politics with them. I think civility is the best course.
Video tape them.
How intrusive are these questions allowed to be?
I just got a gov’t form to fill out for small business owners and self-employed. I am self-employed as I maske my living as a freelance writer.
The questions are incredible. Especially those asking me to specify my race. And the race of any partners I might have. A $5000 fine if I don’t comply.
Is this for real?
What if I don’t answer?
A year ago the Ag Dep’t kept sending me forms to fill out asking how many vegetables I planted and what kind and how much I made off the vegetables and how many chickens I had-— three or four pages. I finally convinced them I was not a farmer and did not want an ag. exepmtion but it took a notarized letter.
I am not a small business owner! What if I just don’t answer

I always keep a nice,fresh bag of dog poo right in my front hallway to greet any ACORN “organizer” that might darken my door.
I have 2 Rotties and a GSD, when I opene the door the Rotties bark, Max just goes ape-shi*, while Hannah tries to get out the door. Dirk my GSD does not growl bark or anything, he is just huge (114 lbs and 28 inches at the shoulder according to his last Vet trip)
It is funny to watch the door to door types who ring our door bell bsck off the porch and head down the driveway with out even trying to talk to me.
Ah yes, FDR still lives. Depression-era 'marketing control' to enable the government to control agriculture and ... wait for it ... "free enterprise"! Thanks to politically pressured (Stack the Supreme Court) USSC decisions, Interstate Commerce reached and continues to reach into your house and garden.
Must not do anything to upset your government, did you kinow that some Dept. of Agriculture Agents carry guns and have police powers to arrest? Not saying that they are bad guys or that they don't use their powers properly, BUT it is INTRUSIVE GOVERNMENT!
That is exactly what I am training my family to do.
We don’t answer our door for anyone except those we know. We NEVER open our door to or for anyone. Our dog does the talking but our door is never opened. Period.
College kids with a noble cause.Thats rich.They will get an earful and be told to get off the property.
Works every time its tried..Just like conservatism.
Please make sure they are from ACORN. Alot of the people working for the census bureau are just working to have a job, like my friend, who had someone try to scare him off his properity with a gun declairing he was from ACORN because he was doing work for the census bureau. He told him he wasn’t, and they ended up discussing guns (my friend loves them).
Just remember to ask before start accucsing them of being from ACORN. :D
My wife told me last night that the ‘census’ dude came around 2 weeks ago.
I think all he did is announce his title and go take some GPS readings at the driveway.
She was unaware of the controversy until several days later.
Tin foil hat on....Tracing political tendencies to an address, a GPS fix could be indispensable in mounting a raid or rounding up ‘misfits’.
Walken is the best.
“Do you own or rent this apartment?”
“Sure. You’ll have to ask one of the other 79 people.”
“You mean your wife?”
“Yeah.”
“Well could I talk to her?”
“She won’t answer you. She’s a bobcat.”
“Especially those asking me to specify my race.”
I would answer Moto X. Don’t get me wrong as I like Nasscar also but it’s Moto X.
Damn... I missed you Byron.
