ACORN is after me regarding the census
Vanity | 27 Aug 09 | Self

Posted on 08/27/2009 7:44:31 AM PDT by PilotDave

My family got our 27? page census form. Many intrusive Q's like how many bathrooms in our house and what time to we go to work. In my continuing campain to be prisoner #1 in the gulag, I ripped off the front page and wrote the number of people living at my address and that we were all US citizens, even though they never asked in the entire booklet our citizenship. I also told them that that's all the info that Rahm and Acorn needed to know. Here's where it gets interesting. Since sending the form in, ACORN has been calling my wife's cell phone (we don't have a land line)number relentlesly, every day of the week. They always call from different area codes and leave a msg about a case number. Wow. I'm on my way.

BTW- Here is a qoute and link to an article along these lines. For some reason this is a banned source here on FR. "Constitutionally, the only topic of a census is a head count for apportioning direct taxes or determining the number of representatives in the House of Representatives. Article I, Section 2, Clause 3 does not contain a grant of power for any other census." http://www.thepriceofliberty.org/greenslade.htm

“A people unwilling to use extreme violent force to preserve or obtain their liberty deserves the tyrants that rule them.”

The question at this point is are we actually willing to go in peace to the re-education camps, not I!

That sounds like the American Community Survey administered by the Census Bureau. As far as I know ACORN has nothing to do with it. Because it is continually sent out to a few hundred thousand people every month it doesn't require a huge ramp up of temporary employees like the decennial census needs, so there is no need to bring in ACORN members.

what time to we go to work

It's helpful to know when no one is home. They stole the election and now they're down to citizen's homes.

Do a good deed today. Send the remaining 26 pages to Cuba as toilet paper.

Just write unintelligible responses. That way they can’t accuse you of not answering.. you just didn’t write neatly. Then if they contact you, ask for new forms every time.

In NJ we switched to Comcast. There wasn't much choice ... since huge trees block the path to receiving satelie TV. Anyway, periodically Comcast “news” come on. Every dead beat in politics comes on and trashes the GOP since the Demoncrats run N.J.. I hate it. I either mute it or temporarily change the channel. If it's not a politician pumping up socialism it's another group that plants flowers in some downtown ghetto, at our expense of course to revitalize the dump.

Anyway on one news cast they went to extraordinary length to reassure LLEGALS that they MUST fill out the census regardless of their status. They won't be deported. They were just counting human beings. The count of human beings was important for voting reasons and state and federal money that they could benefit from. I was LIVID! ILLEGALS should NOT be counted or entitled to state and federal money. They should be DEPORTED!

I did the same thing in the last census. They actually sent a census worker to my home (a Chinese national who barely spoke English) to get the form filled out face to face. After nearly an hour on my front porch the only additional information he received was my race.

After reviewing and rejecting all of the possible choices on his list I created a new one. Since there was a Pacific Islander category and I am of British ancestry and my wife of Irish I stated the race of the inhabitants of our home to be "Atlantic Islanders" which he dutifully entered on his form.

From the horse's mouth as it were...

Do I have to respond to the American Community Survey / Puerto Rico Community Survey?

Note to the Feds: Come and get me, copper :)

Declaration To Make To Census Takers
“I hereby affirm that the provisions of Title 13 ``requiring’’ me to disclose my race, personal financial data, birthdate, or any other personal, private information to the Bureau of the Census, an agency of the United States government; constitutes an unreasonable, unwarranted search of my person, house, papers, and/or effects; and a governmental invasion of the sanctity of my home and the privacies of life. As such, these provisions violate the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution, and are thus wholly void and I am not bound to obey them.

I have completed the only those sections of the Census form pertaining to the Constitutionally-mandated actual enumeration, as follows:

The actual number of people living at the address printed on the form, excluding untaxed Native Americans;
Age of each person in accordance with US Const. Amendment XIV, Section 2.
Sex of each person, in accordance with US Const. Amendment XIV, Section 2.
I have thus fulfilled my obligation to the attainment of the actual enumeration of the populace of the United States.

Any fine or other sanction that is levied by any office or organization stemming from the unconstitutional provisions of Title 13 in connection with my response to this or any other Census-related questioning will be challenged in a court of law.”

Maybe that’s the scheme, invite them in, shoot them then say they were intruders.

ACORN has been calling my wife's cell phone (we don't have a land line)number relentlesly, every day of the week. They always call from different area codes and leave a msg about a case number.

You can file a formal, criminal, complaint with your local Police Department. They have the means to track down the all those callers.

I was getting weird 'unknown' cell calls (I'd answer an no one was there). I called T-Mobile and they said I should call the police. That they could find the person, company, or org that was calling.

If the ACLU doesn’t protest this blatant domestic spying in the form of a census questionnaire, the ACLU will have lost the last shred of credibility.

I’m waiting for my Senators and Representatives to finish their rounds of golf, or whatever they do in Washington, and notice that we’re about to be raped.

From your link:

(Do I have to fill out the vencus form?)

Yes. Respondents are required to answer all questions on the American Community Survey (ACS) to the best of their ability. Response to this and other Census surveys is required by law (Section 221 of Title 13, Chapter 7, United States Code). This chapter also contains information regarding offenses and possible penalties. According to Section 221, persons who do not respond shall be fined not more than $100. Title 18 U.S.C. Section 3571 and Section 3559, in effect amends Title 13 U.S.C. Section 221 by changing the fine for anyone over 18 years old who refuses or willfully neglects to complete the questionnaire or answer questions posed by census takers from a fine of not more than $100 to not more than $5,000. More information.

Your answers are very important because they represent the answers of many other similar households in your community. The data that you and others provide in response to this survey are required to manage or evaluate federal and state government programs. If you submit an incomplete form or provide data that are unclear, we may contact you by phone or in person to obtain or clarify the missing information.

The ACS is part of the Decennial Census Program. It is a survey that is sent to a small percentage of our population on a rotating basis. These data previously were collected only in census years in conjunction with the decennial census. Since the ACS is conducted every year, rather than once every ten years, it will provide more current data throughout the decade. The Census Bureau may use the information it collects only for statistical purposes. Title 13 requires the Census Bureau to keep all information about you, and all other respondents, strictly confidential. Any Census Bureau employee who violates these provisions is subject to a fine up to $250,000, a prison sentence up to five years, or both.

The 2010 census for on this website http://2010.census.gov/2010census/about_2010_census/007622.html only has 6 pages to fill out if you have 12 people living in your house. Less pages if you have less.
