I just got this GIANT 28 page form from the Government "American Community Survey" - (Vanity)
Self

Posted on 09/16/2013 10:44:26 AM PDT by I still care

It says it is REQUIRED by law - but there is no way I am doing this. It's 28 pages of invasive, nanny state interfering that would shock our founding fathers.

Most of the questions have to do with my health or my insurance.

It wants info on each person, and then "What is your health insurance? Do you have disabilities? What is your job? What is your income? How much money did you make? Were you self employed? Really invasive questions - a nightmare - It's awful! Even a liberal would freak out!

I had some issues with the long form (claimed to have never received it) and a few harassing phone calls. I told them to F-OFF and to note whatever record they might have to stay off my property unless they had a valid court issued warrant.

Never heard anything else.

I got that a year or so ago and threw it away.

They came by, knocking, 4-5 times, at all hours, left a card and a couple of follow up letters.

They eventually go away.

Save it ‘til you can organize a bonfire with your neighbors. Then burn ‘em all. (The surveys, not your neighbors).

Fill it out in some obscure foreign language or dialect.

It has questions like, “How much did you earn last week? How many hours? What time did you leave the house? Is your job private? Government? Not for profit? What money do you get from SSI? SSD? Food stamps? Government services? Do you speak English? Are you often confused or have memory problems? Blind? Deaf? Is your insurance medicare? Private? Thru your employer? Do you watch grandchildren? Where did you live last year? How long have you lived there?

Just a very, very small portion. And you have to fill it out for each person in the house.

Whenever I’m filling out a form that asks for SSN, I check to see if there is anywhere on it where I “guaruntee with my signature under laws regarding perjury” that the information is correct. If there isn’t, I use a false SSN.

SSN is not a national ID. If I’m applying for something money related (job or loan) I will divulge the information because it is a need-to-know situation. But that’s it.

I don’t have a land line. I suppose that helps. A little...

They sent a GS-5 to my front door.

Proper response: "Do you have a warrant? Am I under investigation? Am I being detained? No? Then get off my property before I call the Sheriff."

Mormons are scared away by the mezzuzah on the door frame.

We have CCTV around our house; I’ve literally seen them walk up in a pair, one pointed to the mezzuzah, they talked and then walked away.

I got that. I threw it out. I dodged their calls and visits. Finally one caught me on the way out of the house to walk the dogs. I told her it was not a good time so she gave me a very sour look and said “I’ll mark you down as uncooperative”. I said “great!” have a nice day.

That’s it.

It’s not mandatory and there was no way in hell I was answering that thing!

Heh. My driveway is 1/4 mile long with a gate. I see I need to put a no-trespassing sign up, just in case.

Tell them you need one in cursive- you can’t read print.

I received one myself. I threw it in the trash. Then I received three letters via UPS and Fedex telling me it was the law and I had to comply. I had two different women at my house at least 5 times and each time I told them to leave. The last visit she said that the next day was a deadline and I had to either answer them with her or go on line. I told her to leave and have not heard anything since.

Most people have been well trained as sheeps. They will bow down and do whatever it says.

screw ‘em

They are NOT entitled to this data.

If they pretend to cite a “law”, demand chapter and verse.

If they do, ask the maximum penalty.

Then respond, “Good! I look forward for the opportunity to challenge this invasion in court.”

They sent a GS-5 to my front door.

My 11 year old daughter told her: "we're not filling that out! My dad says we don't have to!". She said "well then I'm going to ask your neighbors to tell me about you". She said "go ahead". Last I ever saw of them.
