That's it! That is where I draw the line. Let 'em try to fine me. I'll take it to court, and we'll see who wins.

Wouldn't putting down things like NYOB or "more than 0 and less than 100,000,000,000,000,000" count as answers? Just answer with as little info as possible or as vague as possible.

The law says you have to respond to all questions, so what if I made a few mistakes. Are the correct answers that important?

Americans are legally obligated to answer, and can be fined up to $1,000 per question if they refuse!

Any Freepers receive the survey?

Other than the number of people in my home it's none of their business.

I agree. And a big sweep to clear the State Department of 'em.

I have told a traditional census taker to step off.
I will do the same for these newfangled intrusions.

24 pages of questions and a $1000 fine per question would add up to a whole lot of money. If there were only 5 questions per page, that'd be $120,000; 10 per is $240,000 and 20 per is $480,000. I think that I'd refuse to answer any on principle, and contact the media and my Congresscritters to show how absurd this is. Maybe if enough people did the same, or put down utterly absurd answers, the law would get repealed and this intrusive violation of our privacy and waste of our money would stop.

One should not be required to answer any of these questions. Period. [and I will not] And when they come for me....

ENOUGH! This crap stops now.

The Census hated me.

Under "race" I put "other". Then filled in the blank with "Human".

Bad news. This is outright communist totalitarianism. I thought Stalin was dead? The entire voting public must be made aware of this and shoot this pup down and send it to the ash bin of history. This type of thing belongs in North Korea, not the USA. Where do these people come from?

actually, thank God we don't. One Ron Paul is more than enough. any more and we might as well curl up and die because he's worse than John Kerry when it came to supporting our troops or taking on Saddam Hussein. Basically he's a nutball when it comes to anything except taxes but the only losertarian who's ever made anything of himself and basically the conservative equivalent of Bernie Sanders (Vermont Socialist) on the other side.
