except it is a felony not to answer the census questions.
the other questions? People can duck.
So this is not real.
WHERE do people get this nonsense? Felony? LOL! Seriously? Do people just make stuff up because they think that's what the law should be?
13 U.S. Code § 221.
(a) Whoever, being over eighteen years of age, refuses or willfully neglects, when requested by the Secretary, or by any other authorized officer or employee of the Department of Commerce or bureau or agency thereof acting under the instructions of the Secretary or authorized officer, to answer, to the best of his knowledge, any of the questions on any schedule submitted to him in connection with any census or survey provided for by subchapters I, II, IV, and V of chapter 5 of this title, applying to himself or to the family to which he belongs or is related, or to the farm or farms of which he or his family is the occupant, shall be fined not more than $100.
(b) Whoever, when answering questions described in subsection (a) of this section, and under the conditions or circumstances described in such subsection, willfully gives any answer that is false, shall be fined not more than $500.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, no person shall be compelled to disclose information relative to his religious beliefs or to membership in a religious body.
Oh, by the way, NO ONE has been prosecuted since 1970 for refusing to answer.
I’m willing to disclose how many citizens and non-citizens are in my household. But if the census doesn’t even ask me that, then what do I have to report?
