Rush says just put “ American” where they ask the race!!!!! I will fill mine out limited!! VERY LIMITED!
Slaves used to partly counted.
Way back during the slave years, when the federal government fixed the census by counting blacks as a 3/5 person to lower the head count in the south. Today, in order to direct federal dollars to the proper minority they are trying to lower the whites count, dilute it, with all the race crap.
The federal government is racist.
Count noses and race=other=American.
‘nuff said.
The constitution is fairly specific that all free persons residing in the states should be counted, not just citizens. The not so free persons (who btw weren’t citizens) were counted as 3/5 of a person.
I’m struggling....I’ve always been a law and order, follow the rules guy. But this year I’m seriously considering doing the civil disobedience that I sat out in the 60s. I’m thinking of telling them to stuff their fracking census. I’ll tell them how many people live at my address and that is ALL.
The census does not count citizens. It counts all people. Always has. It used to list country of origin, etc.
Some Republicans tried to introduce legislation that would have required citizenship questions, but it had no chance in the Dim controlled Congress. There was no citizenship question in 2000, and I don’t know that there ever has been. It wasn’t such a big deal until both political parties allowed many millions to enter the US illegally and stay since the 1986 amnesty.
The real solution is to defeat amnesty and start enforcing immigration laws. That’ll take some luck this year and a big turnover in Congress and the WH in 2010 and 2012.
All the advertising centers around filling out the census so you can get money.
“IF they count everyone, then states like CA with large number of illegals will be over represented in Congress”
They see that as a feature, not a bug.
I threw mine away without opening it. Screw the government.
If I get another 30 page census form(like 1990), it's gonna be used to start my first trash fire of the season!
Nope, it’s based on the population, not citizenship.

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:
1. The actual number of people living at the address printed on the form, excluding untaxed Native Americans;
2. Age of each person in accordance with US Const. Amendment XIV, Section 2.
3. 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.”
