Now that is something we can agree on ‘-)

You may have been one of those affected by the poor quality of the new handheld systems:

To be distrustful of government overall, and this administration in particular, is anything but "foolish", my FRiend.

The census is now a political tool, and Obama wields it.

So yeah, let's agree to disagree, and have our beer summit. I will have Guiness.

They are hand delivering to all that have a PO BOX mailing address......

1_rain_drop said, Can we share “a” beer?”......How about adding the sharing of a potato chip and make it a real party?

[I Buried My Guns]

I have some homebrew I'd could bring, however everyone but me says it's horrible.

So yeah, chips would be good.

Only two of those ten questions are MANDATED by the Constitution. You sell your data... leave mine alone! Would you willingly walk into the ovens?

I wrote in the number of people living in my home and used a permanent marker to black out the rest of the questions so no ACORN-like Obama sycophant could fill-in-the-blanks in a manner most helpful to their agenda.

Told him four times that he was trespassing (I have signs all over) and he said he had the right to be on my property.

Obviously mistook your property for an easement. /s

Yes the count is in the constitution, but the rest is not. Ask the Japanese-Americans from the internment camps if the census was not a problem for them.
The only answer from my home sill be how many live at our house.

By the way was the 173 in Italy when you where in. If so I would like your opinion of good places to visit when I go to visit my son who is with them now.

[CIB-173RDABN]

Your comment is an example of why I will not argue the point. As I said, if this is the battle you want to fight, go for it. Me and my tin foil cap will wait for a more meaningful reason.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Ask the Japanese-Americans from the internment camps if the census was not a problem for them.

Not likely to happen again, unless it involves white male Protestant smoking potato-chip eaters.

I rec’d ours on Tuesday, luckily it only contained 10 questions. Being a very detailed person I wanted to make sure I didn’t “forget” to answer anything so I made a personal note for myself at the bottom in the wide blank margin by the barcode, but oppsy I had used pen so I couldn’t erase my little reminder before I put it in the envelope. So being a good citizen I promptly mailed it, and I hope the census people understand my notation of “fill up blank questions” (or as I wrote it in shorthand FUBO). But it just dawned on me I must have forgotten to put the line thru that stubborn little letter Q. Just darn

[Ratman83]

But it can happen again.

The only thing they have a right to know is how many people are in the residence.

That was all they got from me.

[LibLieSlayer]

You probably have never felt the sting of confidential information being used against you by the gooberment... I do not trust this government any longer and I certainly do not trust the elected officials or any of their marxist/union hack employees.

The Census purpose is to find out how many people are in a District.

There is no reason for any other information to be given.

What is the purpose of those other questions?

[Canedawg]

The gov’t get all this personal info (including Obamacare)
but will not release Pres_ _ent Obama’s (nonexistent) BC.
****

Yeah, how ‘bout that!

[FixitGuy]

I agree! The word "Census" isn't even used. It's referred to as an "enumeration" In Aticle 1, cl 2 and Cl 2 of the 14th Amendment.

Sounds like a numbers only count to me!
