I have not recieved one.
If they plan on using these numbers for gerrymandering then one would thing it would behoove all parties to have the most accurate count possible(?)
All this blah blah about low reporting is just so much bull. The census was taken from the commerce dept by the white hut, another historic first. That put’s them in charge of determining representation in the house of reps. They are going to stack the deck.
I haven’t received a form.

Yep the representation in Congress and a lot of local dollars will be decided by these numbers accurate or not. I agree ‘accurate’ would be a much better approach.
I would suggest calling your Congressman and asking him to look into it.
The left will simply IMPUTE the number of blacks, Mexicans, etc who failed to respond to the census. And naturally our steel-spined, oh-so-courageous republican representatives in DC will hide under their desks as it happens. Don’t want to be accused of RAAAACISM simply for taking a stand for the truth after all. When you come right down to it, how important is THAT??!! Right Juan, Lindsey, Olympia...?
Don’t they already require salt content to be disclosed on all packaged foods?
I have never received the pre letter notification, the census or the send it back letter. I live in a Republican district in Florida. Contacted my representatives office and was told that they had heard that alot. They did not have the forms and directed me to the Regional office in Atlanta to request one. Was transferred several times (love those tax dollars being wasted) and was told that I could get a form at my local library. Called my library—(in Republican district and was told they dont have them—never had them) Called nearby library in blue district and they do have them !!!!! Do I see a problem?? oh yeah
I will pickup a form and fill out.
Any ideas on how to proceed about complaining?
I have not recieved one.
I haven’t received one either.
Amazingly low.
I went to a local lieberry, got a form, and signed in as a transient (which I am).
LOL, thought it wuz the whitey house.
Mine is a wild eyed progressive in a totally safe gerrymandered district. I have no representation. I must rely on other areas.
Over-counting democrats and illegals would be detrimental to democrats for voting purposes and redistricting (although it might be somewhat helpful in doling out fedgov slop).
As a result of the 2000 census, there is a congress-critter for every approx 670,000 people. The estimate for 2010 is that number will change to 1:710,000.
Let’s suppose that the census over-counts a rat district by 10%. That’s 71,000 potential voters. For purposes of redistricting, there will now be about 71,000 FEWER citizens in that particular district (because they’re made up). If the focus for padding were on rat areas of the district, this means that Republican/conservative areas would now be proportionally more represented (because the fictional rats don’t actually exist). It would skew the total make-up of the district in ways that can’t be counted at the voting box. No matter how many rats the census says are in a district, they only count for election purposes if they vote.
Of course, that doesn’t take into account other forms of voting fraud. Over-counting rats on the census is not, in itself, an effective form of voting fraud.
It would serve to mask the true level of rat support in any particular district, and it would make proportionally larger the size of non-rat areas of the district. This would cause series errors for the rats in drawing new lines for re-districting: it would over-estimate their support while under-estimating the true pop size of everybody else in a district.
Keep reminding the illegals that Fedgov used the 1940 census to round of people of Japanese ancestry to internment camps during WWII.
