A friend of mine, who is a staunch union Democrat who believes he has "rights", got an ACS survey form.
He knows that I worked Census, so he called me for advice [he did NOT like the detailed financial information requested].
He wanted to just tell them that he wasn't giving them the information, and to get lost, standing on his "rights".
I told him that his only hope was to not engage them at all.
Don't answer the door, don't answer their phone calls, if they tackle you in the yard, tell them you don't live there and are just looking after the place for a friend. Lie convincingly.
He didn't want to do that.
"Once you engage them, you are lost."
He still thought he had the "right" to tell them to get lost.
