You’ve received FOUR census forms? Are you in a heavily democrat district too?

One of the last vestiges of ACORN before it dies the death it should will be to influence the census. This will mean that left-leaning districts will likely find themselves having greater population growth than right-leaning districts although in reality I doubt there are few if any districts where that is true.

Dems can’t win elections by playing fair or telling the truth. Cheating with dead people’s votes, stuffing of ballot boxes, intimidating voters and lying about what they plan to do if in power is typical Dem playbook stuff. Expect more of the same in November with loads of media compliance and coverups to all the illegal activities that lead up to the election.

I disliked being bullied by a government I do not trust.

No,
One letter telling me it’s coming,
Census form arrives following week
Another letter telling me to send it in
Today another Census form in my mail box.

They will send someone to house.

They did that ten years ago too. When they drove up, I walked out the front door and saw the clipboard just as she was getting out of her car. Before she said a word I calmly held up my hand with the appropriate number of fingers and said (somewhat forcefully),

"Four!" to which she responded,
"Huh? Uh, we're from the Bureau of the Census."
"I know. Four."
"We have some questions."
"Four people live here."
"We have some OTHER questions."
"The Constitution does not authorize you to collect that information. It only permits an enumeration. Four."
"But we have some OTHER questions."
"I'm not going to answer those questions. Please get off my property. Thank you."

I turned away and went back into the house. They left. That was it.

We haven’t received ours yet. We live in a small town and have a P.O. Box so if they mailed it to the street address they plugged in to their gps unit, they really screwed up cause there are no mailboxes on my street and many others around here are the same.

"...My race is “HUMAN”..."

I am trying to create interest in the race "East Atlantean".

So far, nio takers. and hey, that's fine, but keep in mind the racial spoils to be bestowed upon me as the sole remaining member of my race!

Hail East Atlantia!

I’m in a very Republican country in a western state, and I and many people I have talked to have not yet received their forms.

I would fill out my census but I lost it in the same boating accident over the Marians Trench that claimed all my firearms.

Oh, but that is the stupid irony of the government generated form. The instructions clearly said to please complete this and mail it in the next few days. I got mine the second week of March. Therefore, if you obeyed the instructions you were forced to tell an untruth.

Government: you can’t fix stupid.
