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.

I’d tell them that I’d sue them for harrasment if they keep calling the cell phone like that. You can also report them to the FCC - I did that with a credit card marketing company that was constantly calling my cell, interrupting me, and using up my minutes.

And I’m not answering anything more than you did, either - haven’t gotten it yet but if I did would be tempted to mail it back to the source wrapped around a dog turd with a fork in it.

That needs to be printed on a fine “American Citizen” letterhead.

Good Catch.

The data that you and others provide in response to this survey are required to manage or evaluate federal and state government programs.

And in refusing to provide the extraneous info, what a wonderful, non-violent way to gum up the works :)

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.

They are not Census Bureau employees. They are from ACORN who is notorious for not having the best of staff working for them. I wouldn't trust them no matter how much they claim to be from the Census.

Sorry but I totally disagree with that statement. Our Constitution is your only hope. It is in as much effect as we want it to be.

When it comes to “Race”, I always check “other” and then write in “Human”. Hey, I answered the question, and I challenge you to prove me wrong!

“I’d tell them that I’d sue them for harrasment if they keep calling the cell phone like that. You can also report them to the FCC”

I’m sure that the feds wrote an exception to the telemarketing rules that prohibit cell phone solicitation. Do as I say, not as I do you know...

I wouldn't trust them either but Obama has given them part of this task to do.

I wonder how our military feels about Obama. I'd love to hear their reaction to Obama’s end your life options. Just thinking about things ..........

Census data is also big business. Just imagine if millions of people refused to co-operate....

That statement along with the form with all non-required areas solidly blacked out (like redacted sections of public documents), only leaving the constitutionally required questions with answers.

I experienced the very same scenario. I sent in the copy with the number of people living at our home. They were relentless in calling until the point I accidently answered the phone on a non caller id phone. I was trapped. I told the sob I had sent in my info. He replied, “I know, it is incomplete.” I advised That was intentional. He proceeded to say the regular bs about fines, etc. I asked hime how many had actually been charged and fine, he did not know. He added he could ask me the relevant questions on the phone. I replied,”What if I choose not to answer?” He replied he would respond appropriately however I would respond. So, twenty minutes later, he gaot the number of people living at out home, many unanswered questions, and some off the wall responses to some of the more ridiculus questions. When it was over, he thanked me and mentioned the call had been amusing and entertaining......

Number of Bathrooms; Depends on the time of day and how much I have to eat or drink.

How many miles do I drive to work, and what time do I leave?; Depends on what car I drive, what route I take and what day I work. Pick a number between 0 and 75. The time?; never the same two days in a row.

How long am I away from home? Well, I work 8 or 12 hour days, you figure it out. And what hours am I away from home? And where do I keep my cash and valuables? And what is the best time to find me home? And do I have a security system? A mean dog?

You get the picture. ACORN has expenses not funded by Dear Leader that cover near enough of our worker lifestyles. They have to make ends meet somehow.
