I would like to see what my fellow FReepers suggest, but slamming the door on them seems like the most efficient way to deal with them.
Just ask them which Republicans they are supporting for office. Problem gone.
Just don’t answer the door.
It won’t likely be an ACORN rep that makes it this far out into the sticks, I’d say. BUT, whoever shows up will get the minimum information necessary to ‘count’ my household, and that is it.
It’s time to push the gubmint back within the constraints of the US Constitution.
Why would they be coming to the door? They usually mail out the census and then only come to the door if you failed to send it in.
What is the best on-line source for the list of indictments, please?
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.
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.
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’.
