How's that census going? (The night Obamacare came forth from the ooze...)

[alice_in_bubbaland]

Mine has been sitting on the kitchen counter. I just can’t bring myself to fill it out since I’m sick over the “Obamaliezation” of government.

[Red_Devil 232]

Hey, they say we need to fill it out and send it in by April 1st. How does that work when the the first and second questions ask us to count peeps living or "staying" at our pad on April 1st?

Geee the future is so hard to predict.

[GenXFreedomFighter]

I filled in the Constitutionally required answer for No. 1, then I answered No. 2 “Is there any person staying with you not counted in No. 1?” just because I thought it was so damn funny. All the other crap I left blank.

[eeriegeno]

Right now my census is on top the fridge not filled out.

Well, you can't honestly and legally fill it out until April 1st anyway? First question is, "How many people lived at this residence on April 1, 2010?" How can you answer that question prior to April 1, 2010?

Refusing to participate in the census may be the first general act of civil disobedience. It could be the opening shot in the coming revolt.

I’m planning to sit it out.

The only thing is they’ll send some ACORN Census worker to get your info if they don’t get it back

[popdonnelly]

I think you want to be counted, or the Obama Administration will say the population is all illegal immigrants.;)

The only answer to the race question is African-American. You will be supported by every anthropology textbook in america, as each and every one of them states unequivocably that all of our ancestors came from africa...just some earlier than others. Plus it will work to f-up the redistricting, since it will make the redistricters assume that your house is democrat.

“The only thing is they’ll send some ACORN Census worker to get your info if they don’t get it back”

Just say, I’m just house sitting, the owners are out of the country for 6 months.

Thanks for this thread. I’ve been wondering what to do about the form I didn’t receive since it... for a week now.

[glock_fan]

The Constitution requires that question #1 (how many persons live in the home) be filled out.

I will perform my duty and fill that one and only that one in.

[Nachum]

Not surprised. Will take my sweet time filling mine’s out.

Actually, I was going to fill mine out- telling them I have 12 kids on welfare.

But your town might not know how many buses to demand from the Department of Transportation!

since there seem to be “african-americans”, why can’t there be “american-americans”?
screw ‘em all

I had two census workers knock on my door this past Thursday. I have a 4’ tall masonry wall around my entire property with a driveway gate that you have to reach over the top to open.
I had the windows open and didn’t even hear them coming, dogs did not even hear the gate open and they hardly ever miss that. They started barking with the knock on the door. I looked out the window towards the street, no car there. Can’t see the door where they were knocking from where I was and I was just going to ignore it and watch out the window to see who walked away.
They kept knocking and the dogs were really barking by now so I go down to the door and there’s two of them holding up their plastic badges. I cracked the door open a few inches to tell them to go away and the woman sticks her foot in the door opening!
They were very persistent, but so was I. I refused to offer any info except for telling them 3 people lived in the house. I told them to leave, repeatedly and finally they did.

I put 'human' for race.

First of all, it has the virtue of being true.

Furthermore it was once considered a liberal thing to say. So there is an element of mockery in straightforward truth.

[SaraJohnson]

If conservatives do this, all the conservative districts will lose power. Fill it out as the constitution mandates.

[Eye of Unk]

Anyone with cats?

Send it back with eu de chat perfume.

I followed the consititution and wrote in a “2” for the number of people living in the residence.

I just realized, the Feds will USE the new Census to enumerate all the people who will be on their CommieCare. So, just writing the briefest of information, of how many in household, gives them all the information they need to enforce that.
