I only answered one question, the one that asks how many people live here. What was the second question that you answered?
Obama needs to show me his BC before I do my census.
You did better than me. I shred mine. I’m sure I’ll be getting a visit from my friendly census worker soon.
I did fill out the race/ethnicity section. Chose ‘Other’ and filled in ‘American’.
Was feeling very John Wayne-ish that day.
I stopped I think at question 3: “what phone number can we reach you at if we have questions about your responses?”
I left that and the remainder of that terribly intrusive form blank.
I like the census advertisements that tell us they won’t know how many teachers are needed if we don’t fill out the census. How about they just take a head count of how many children are enrolled in the schools?
You did exactly what I did - filled in the number of people at this address and then marked “other” and wrote in American. Mailed it back and don’t plan on answering door anytime during the week of May 1.....
did great but expect a personal visit...lol..
You didn’t put your nationality or religion? Mine is Nunya, is in ‘nunya bidness’.
I, too, put “other” and then wrote in “American.” The gov’t has no need to know my racial makeup.
I answered how many people, and our names. Nothing else.
Expect a knock on the door by someone who barely speaks English and aks you lotsa questions... ;-)
In so many words, question 2 asks if there were any more people living at your address. I answered "no".
IIRC, question 1 amounted to “counting everyone, how many live at this address” ... and question 2 amounted to “if you lied in your answer to question 1, tell us the difference between your answer and the correct answer.”
Well, the way I look at it, I simply answered "Present", just like he did.
I answered how many live here and then crossed out every other question so they didn’t get the impression that I “missed” them.
Hopefully they won’t bother my wife during the day.
I wonder how hard it is to set up a nasty (but non-lethal) electrical charge on the doorbell button...
‘I did fill out the race/ethnicity section. Chose ‘Other’ and filled in ‘American’.’
I check “other” and write-in “human”
I can't ask my government to abide by the Constitution, if I'm not willing to abide by it myself.
The Constitution grants the government the authority to take a head count of the citizens, which compels me to allow myself to be counted.
But, that's all the authority they have in this matter.
