I have heard that questions on this year's census are an invasion of privacy and unconstitutional. I've heard we will be intimidated to answer all the questions. QUESTION: Can someone post the legal challange we can use to thwart intimidation? Specific articals of the constitution or whatever? We need to fight back with what remains of our legal rights! Please post whatever links will hold up in court. I plan on fighting back but want to win.

But you probably could. Just don't tell any reporters.

Dear Governor Blagojevich: As a life-long Illinois resident, I would like to express my opinion regarding House Bill 1118 which you recently signed into law. Specifically, I believe that House Amendment No.1 ruined the intent of the bill and creates an injustice to current students and their families. The bill was introduced to provide that the tuition charged an undergraduate student who is an Illinois resident shall not exceed the amount that the student was charged at the time he or she first enrolled in the university as an Illinois resident if that student enrolled not more than 3 and...
