If they get to my door my Rott’s have been shot or already ate 4 of the census takers and have been poisoned !
Knocked on my door twice in the last two weeks. When questioned, the 2nd “visitor” said the first visit made a mistake and the hand held computer wasn’t working. I told him to get lost and the dogs wanted to get out...
Our address is plainly posted at the street. There’s no need to knock on our door.

We were away today but when we got home our neighbor said that the ACORN guy was around with his GPS. He confronted the guy on his property, told him that he was well aware through the web and radio of their unsavory connections and then told him to finish his business and get out.
We are on a rather bumpy road in rural Maine so these guys are thorough.
Oh yeah, he was in his late 50s and was driving a fairly nice car.
I’ll be locking the outside porch door and if I see someone coming just close the inside door. Viola` no one home. :)
Take pictures of these ‘Census’ workers
Isn’t this 2009?
The census does not take place until 2010
I live in a very liberal district, so when they come, I will report one resident. -_-
With the millions of census workers, the odds that any of them also are with ACORN are infintesimal. The accumulation of odd fantasies around the Census is amazing.
Land Shark...
Tell them you’ll answer their questions as soon as Obama produces a valid birth certificate.
If the census is coming I'll have to put out the welcome bell.
There’s no law that says anybody has to answer the door.
"The employees will ask only to verify a housing unit’s address and whether there are additional living quarters on the property."
Are they looking for future homes for the soon to be legal aliens, or people who do not share my religion?
Yeah, I'm becoming paranoidical.
I just want to remind people that NOT ALL CENSUS WORKERS ARE ACORN MEMBERS!!!!
Though this may be changing with Obama’s attempt to move control of the census to the White House. However:
Please remember that:
a) There are always inaccuracies in large databases, and that’s what the census is.
b) The only way to fix those inaccuracies is to go out and check.
c) The census IS mandated in the Constitution.
That said, if a census worker asks me anything more than “do you live at xxxxxxx?” and “How many people live at the residence?” they get an answer of “I’m sorry, but that’s really none of your business.”
I have an aunt and a cousin who have worked for the census bureau for decades, and this is exactly what they do. It’s a part time job, and good for retirees who like getting out of the house and meeting people.
