      I have seen a current form and nowhere on it is there any question relating to personal information. Merely a few questions on # of residents and race/ethnic background. No names, no personal inquiry. So where does your boy get his info Bob?

        Rub why would they want to know if you white or black? It's suppost to be only a head count. I just put it up the way I got it. Take it for what it's worth. In full its a total joke. When I get mine it will go straight to the garbage can. Bob L

          I enjoyed the clip. Funny how I received a census just a few years ago, 2.5 years ago to be exact. I recently received another. On the gentlemans points on certain questions....the gov already knows how much one earns, receives in ssi, foodstamps, or any other entitlement program resources. What race, creed, religion, gender, or physical shape I am is not their business. Head count is the only constitutional requirement. GPS of residence is for one reason only !!!!!! Use your imaginations for this puppy !

              RUB,
              Some famalies get a long version that asks every question you could ever imagine.
              I know because I have filled one out.
              What I filled out was number of people in home and number of students and that is all.
              My wife was visited by a census worker while I was not at home and she was asked to answer questions. She refused until she spoke with her husband. The census worker became enraged and informed her that she would answer the questions or "ELSE".
              The census worker returned later with another person later that day to apologize for the first workers attitude. The first worker would not apologize. I informed them that I had done my civic duty by informing them number of people in household and they could get off my property!
              I understand the purpose for the census but I have an address, work, pay bills and taxes
              If the federal government is so concerned about population, School funding etc. etc. they should do something about the wave of illegals coming into our country eating up our resources.
              My 2 cents
              now back to Motorcycles

                i got a letter two days ago telling me that i will be getting another letter soon and that i should fill out the information on the second letter and send it back. how efficient.

                i always add some special artwork to any letters sent back to politicians asking for money or in this case the govt asking for information....i have my crayons ready for when i get my second letter....can't wait.

                  I got the same one Sludge, I opened mine today which came addressed to “Resident At”, and it was just to tell me that in about a week I was going to receive the official questionnaire. No wasted money there eh?

                  At the end of the letter where how to get help instructions printed in no less than six different languages. I’m not making any of this up. -Steve

                          Just fill out the short form. It is how/why/ the reason your state, city receives federal funding. No more/ no less. If you want to SCREW your community then by all means make your dipshit statement to the FEDS--

                            The town or state position is if you don't fill out the census you screw your town out of large amounts of cash. Thousands per person from the Federal government. If that kind of money is at stake why don't they help out their citizens. Why not discount your water or garbage bill for filling it out. I'd give you $50 to get thousands. It all depends how you look at it.
