My mother remembers when they said that our Social Security Number would NEVER be used as an identification. Every 10 years they want to know more about YOU. This video coaches us in how to respond to that.
Hello. One person might live here. It might be 20. Now get the **** off my porch. That’s how you answer the census :)
Mine still says "Not for identification" on the card (it is my original). When the card is demanded, I point that out to the person demanding it.
The only way we will win this Republic back is one person at a time.
For the question on race, I checked “Other” and wrote in “American” (”Human” is good also).
LOL. I did the same.
“Daytona 500” and “Kentucky Derby” are my favorite races
“They” not only said your social security number would not be used for identification, the prohibition was printed on the SS card. I have one, and so do a whole bunch of folks. I treasure it as an example of how government IS the problem not the solution.
Did you leave the remainder of the form blank or write “n/a”.
I’m sending mine in today and answered the same one question.
How much does one legally have to answer?
I don’t see why they need my phone number or any of the other details they ask for. I don’t recall having been asked for that before, but maybe I just ignored it and have forgotten.
I sent in the number of peeps, a male and a female who were Americans.
No phone, no nothing else.
Nothing else. No names, no occupations, no race, no bullsh*t.
Apparently the census has offended some of barry’s fellow citizens.
My Wife looked up what worked for *required* in the last census.
We answered the first 3 questions (probably should of done just 2) and can’t wait to see if the census worker want’s to talk Constitution.
I did not address ANY of the other questions. They know where I live and that the address is occupied by two people. The don’t need our names or anything else. If they want to know more, it is public information and they can get it but NOT from me.
I only answered the first question i.e. number of people in household and that is all that is legally required.
I let them know that 4 people lived in my household, what their gender and ages (no birthdays) are and that was it.
I told my wife that if a Census worker shows up on the door step when I am home, I am going to have a sudden need to water the hanging plants on the front porch. She seems to think that I am going to get arrested at some point :-)
LOL! These people are just constantly offended by *EVERYTHING*! God, I am so sick of people like that.
That's what I did. My dad's answer is "NASCAR".
We like the government.
Wow !!!!! Glad I haven’t mailed mine in, now I know how to fill it out.
THANKS for the info. !!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
I answered 2 and stuffed it back in the mail box.
I put down “Anglo-Saxon”.
White/Black is NOT a race.
We did the same.
"100 meter; the 400 if I train hard enough."
I wonder what they'll do with that?
I thought about "European Mutt" but then figured that "American" was better.
Me 2 - and they really do have all the info they need from tax returns - oh, that’s right, 45% of the people don’t PAY taxes...never mind....
Just to add to conversation, I just put down the number of residents and sent it in...all the info they need - under the Constitution - oh, wait, we just make the rules up as we go along...never mind...
Ditto - like minds...cheers...
It is a reasonable Constitutional requirement that a headcount be made. JUST a headcount.
We got another letter in the mail yesterday telling us they had not received our form.
The form says we have until April 1st to mail it back.
So why are they wasting money?
White/Black is NOT a race.
Neither is "Anglo-Saxon". It's an ethnicity.
Race is "Human".
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 did include my cell phone. For race, I added ‘homo sapiens sapiens’.

Slavic-Germanic-Scandinavian-American wasn’t a choice...
“We got another letter in the mail yesterday telling us they had not received our form.

Stimulus.
Democrats are for more government. More government means more bureaucratic inefficiency. Democratic code words for “bureaucratic inefficiency” are stimulus, universal health care (government option), job creation, etc. The Census is required to have the data we need to manage that “bureaucratic inefficency”. “Manage” is the Democratic code word for control, enslave, etc.
Aren’t you feeling stimulated?
It could say cracker, whitey, beaner or whatever...I’m still not telling them.
I haven’t filled mine out yet. My response may be required by law, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it will be responses of THEIR choosing. I’m seriously considering writing something EXTREMELY rude on the form in red Magic Marker & sending it back.
The Obama regime can go to Hell!
Thoughts, anyone?
I have been contemplating how to fill out the form and what the rules are. I found the following:
http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_cens.html
The current penalty is $100 for failure to fill out the census forms.
The authority of the Congress to conduct the census in whatever way it wishes, and thus to require that the forms be filled out is found in the Constitution itself, which notes:
[The Census] shall be made ... in such Manner as [Congress] shall by Law direct.
The Congress is also authorized to ask various questions in the census aside from the basic headcount by virtue of this clause and by virtue of the Necessary and Proper Clause.
Advice to leave the form blank or to fail to fill it in may actually bring more of the government into your life than you want — as noted above, unfiled and incomplete forms will be followed-up upon by actual census workers, either in person or by telephone.

End of excerpt. Earlier on it talked about the history of the Census and the laws made. For the first census, the names and ages of the people living in the house were recorded - that’s what I think I might do.
Still pondering it. (One other poster on another thread talked about “pick your battles”. Heck, a google search of my name would probably bring up most of the census form information anyway. Or they can look at my tax records. But, that’s not the point.
Thanks! Very perceptive remarks, especially “pick your battles.”
Since they already have this stuff nailed down with GPS (the envelopes are encoded not only with your street address, but with its coordinates) and I have lived here for several years, I’m sure they already know this stuff. This is aside from the fact that I’ve been posting on FR since the 2000 elections, so I’m sure they know everything there is to know about me by now!
I don’t like it on principle. I think it’s excessively intrusive and actually a little threatening. But you’re right, there are other, bigger battles coming up.
