Got my census form today - Vanity

Posted on 03/16/2010 1:42:42 PM PDT by LatinaGOP

How is everyone else answering? Don't like that they ask my race/ethnicity for congressional districting. They tend to assume that because I am Hispanic, that I am a Democrat. Can I choose to only answer how many people are living here and send it in that way?

Thanks - We got ours yesterday and I knew I’d find out what we’re legally obligated to reveal from FR!

Phone number is just in case they have to clarify something or make an appointment to come to your home.

I found it to be rather easy and there were no income
questions. They did ask if there was clear home ownership or rental, etc.
I thought that unnecessary.

“Mongolian. I have Genghis Khan blood.”

Do you ever get the yearning or urge to start rampaging through Russia?

nope, only latino or black count (my opinion). Asian counts against you. Irish and Polish mean you’re white and racist.

For “sex” my wife and I filled in “often” and the kids put “not allowed”.

Race... We all agreed on “Indy 500”.

Gee, I really hope they find it amusing.

So what would screw up their plans the most?

How about "human race?" we all belong to that.

It's amazing to me how many people just willingly provide all information asked, without asking why. Like at a checkout line when asked for your zip code and/or phone number. I just say, "oh, no thanks."

Or, sometimes I'll reply "why do you need that info?" To which they say..."oh, the system is asking for it."

At Rush's encouragement, I checked off "Other" then wrote in American........

Doesn’t it SICKEN you that all of the adverts and letters state that the census data is to be used to make sure “your community gets its fair shair of government programs”,

and not ONE WORD about apportionment for representation in the House?

Do not send it in until after April 1st! You can't answer question 1 or 2 truthfully until after that date. There are 16 days til the 1st, who knows what will happen?

Thousands die thousands are born every day! Who knows the future?

Yes, we got ours yesterday but........

My wife have already filled one out (minimally) over a month ago.

Over a month ago, we also received repeated phone messages referring to "case numbers".

Were we scammed?

I’m looking at my copy now and just noticed you can check “Native Hawaiian”

So can I put down “Native Massachusettian”?

All I know is I’m not sending this back until after April 1st - How do I know who will be staying at my house on April 1st on March 16th?
Would it be considered falsification if I answer a ‘future question’ on a question I have no 100% truthful answer to?
