Today I received "The American Community Survey" from the Commerce Dept. It is 28pp of very intrusive questions, from the time I usually leave for work (to the minute) to who I work for and how much I make to how much I pay for utilities, and much, much more. The questions are repeated for everyone who lives in my household and include name, address, and phone numbers.
It says I am required by law to return this.
Anyone here familiar with this? Any advice?
Did it come via certified mail? If not they have no idea if you received it or not. Just saying.
I got it too. I threw it out. This week, I got another one. I’m throwing it out as well. There is no way I’m answering any of these questions. They can come to the door and ring ‘til they’re heart’s content. I won’t be here for 3 months. To HELL with these people!
Oh! You are so right, the locals did come back for the census... I forgot !
I posted my drooling chocolate lab on the front doorstep with a welcome mat that says “go AWAY!”
Kids at halloween loved it last night ! Thanks for reminding me!
I am chuckling now at the recollection!
Hell NO!!!!!
I signed it and sent it back blank. They sent another and I did the same thing.
A woman showed up at my door and said I had to answer the questions.
I answered every question with the response “it’s none of your business” She looked at me, and I told her she wanted an answer, and I gave her one to each question asked. Never heard back. That was 4 months ago. Commerce Dept IIRC.
Return it. Nothing says your hand must write truthful info.
I’ve received them and have thrown them out. Nothing has ever happened - no calls, no knock on the door, nothing.
I remember getting the farm version.
I live smack in the middle of DFW, lol.
I was sorely tempted to make things up, maybe I could have gotten ag subsidies, lol. I just checked a few “No”s and mailed it back, mostly empty.
It is past time the sheeple stopped complyin’ and cooperatin’.
Next year we get to had to our IRS tax forms an extra form revealing our medical history as it relates to our compliance with unconstitutional Obamacare.
Be thinking about that. All this other stuff is experimentation for how willing to stay sheepel until we are reduced to train boarding material ala Germany.
Hey, wasn’t it lost in the mail and you never got it?
can’t give anyone any advice about anything....
at this house, all junk mail (meaning anything we did not request or desire) gets Round Filed immediately (and we can never seem to remember receiving any particular piece of crap, given all crap looks pretty much the same...)
they can resend whatever, and if it is something we did not request or desire, it will promptly meet the same fate. There’s PLENTY of room in the Round File, and the city picks it up every week so that makes for even MORE room....
we’re paying for the city to haul this crap away, we may as well make use of that wonderful and very convenient public service.
just saying
Declaration To Census Takers
I hereby affirm that the provisions of Title 13 ``requiring’’ me to disclose my race, personal financial data, birth-date, or any other personal or private information to the Bureau of the Census, an agency of the United States government, constitutes an unreasonable, unwarranted search of my person, house, papers, and/or effects; and a governmental invasion of the sanctity of my home and the privacies of life. As such, these provisions violate the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution, and are thus wholly void and I am not bound to obey them.
I have completed only those sections of the Census form pertaining to the Constitutionally-mandated actual enumeration, as follows:
1. The actual number of people living at the address printed on the form, excluding untaxed Native Americans.
2. Age of each person in accordance with US Const. Amendment XIV, Section 2.
3. Sex of each person, in accordance with US Const. Amendment XIV, Section 2.
I have thus fulfilled my obligation to the attainment of the actual enumeration of the populace of the United States
For some odd reason I have never gotten another form nor has anyone called about it.
SCREW THEM.
Census finally came to my house.
Dog got in their car with them

By who? The census department may have bullets but they have no enforcement division and if I remember right the census can’t give your personal info to the justus department because they are bound by some law not to.
... However ...
If you refuse to answer direct questions posed by a Census employee, or interfere with their ability to collect data they can make a civil or criminal referral to DOJ, depending on which is appropriate.
Mine got lost in the mail, never had a chance to fill it out and return it. That is, that would be my story if I had gotten one, but I didn’t... Really...
I like it. They try that excrement with me, my answer to every question will be “42” after all, that’s the answer to the universe, right?
