Maybe they should stick to asking only the relevant questions like how many live at this residence. /s

While the U.S. census has always evoked some resentment toward the feds for poking their nose into people's business, there's a sense that America's distrust of the government has reached greater heights and could contribute to poor census returns.

Ya think...?

[Da Coyote]

Darn, I got mine and somehow have misplaced it.

[ezfindit]

America has had enough of Marxist idiocy!

[rarestia]

They’re getting the number of people in the household. That’s it!

I will be taking a black permanent marker and drawing through all of the other fields lest some creative idiot at ACORN decides they can start filling in Census forms with information they deem proper.

Somewhere in Buffalo there has to be at least one copy of the Constitution.

[dila813]

They use it for justification of for more entitlement programs and allocating more power to my liberal state.

Everything goes in the shredder.

We need to be led by the conservative states not the brain dead pot smoking hippies.

[laweeks]

All they’re getting out of my house is how many people live here, are they adults or not, and are they citizens (and I’ll write in American if that word is not on the form).

Then I’m mailing it back.

[ClearCase_guy]

MA has been losing population for years and is likely to lose representation in the US House. I’m doing my part to weaken the state. ;)

[ozark hilljilly]

Due to a mix up at the hands of the census worker (imagine that!) I was left with a form addressed for my business, not my home.(biz is right next door)
I honestly answered “0” for # of people and sent it in.
She took my home form with her to delete it from the rolls. She thought she had the biz form.
Oh well....
Come n git me, coppers!

[Pollster1]

I hope people in conservative parts of the country will answer, at least the enumeration of population. I plan to answer with the correct number of residence and our race: “HUMAN”. I’d love to see the socialist Obama-districts lose due to non-participation!

[ricks_place]

Don’t fear a poor census response; Obama will estimate the true census count!

[motor_racer]

Congress doesn’t obey the law. Why should anyone else?

[MsLady]

For every 1 percent of households that respond by mail, taxpayers save about $85 million, the Census Bureau estimates. And we're suppose to take their word on that? I don't get how they come to that conclusion. And they don't even bother to say how it saves money.

[1066AD]

people living illegally in this country may make the immigrant community more leery of participating in the census

So the count will include illegals which will in turn affect the allocation of Congress-critters ?

[Reagan69]

Maybe a few hip tv ads would help...

oh, nevermind.

[ImpBill]

outta 10 questions I will answer the first one only.

How many folks lived in my house this past year? Dazzit none of the other questions will I answer.

[Oratam]

What’s to stop them from creating thousands of phony census returns? Look! We found 3,000 “uncounted” people in Paterson, N.J. Show me the money!!!

[CodeToad]

“Negro, Jewish, Woman, Financially Challenged, Registered Democrat, with 10 kids.”

That’s how I’ll be answeering this census.

As a point of related discussion...

It looks like a lot of those temporary Census workers the Guvment picked up last month will be very temporary...

It seems that many Census workers either outright refuse to go door to door in certain neighborhoods, and/or lack the language skills needed to interview people in those neighborhoods. We are talking about everything from Jive to Vietnamese, Somali, Spanish, Russian, or what have you.

Fox News was discussing this today on the morning show, and I suspect we will be hearing a lot more about this before the week is out...
