True story.
Census Worker showed up at our door. We sent in a form. Told her that. She said she wasn’t here for information about us...she wanted infomation on the people across the street. The door has never been slammed harder.
Screw these morons.
You know what, most of these folks are just trying to pay their bills like the rest of us. Report what you must, refuse the rest, and let it go.
tell them you are african american...
Tell her you’re Cambodian and your husband is a bisexual North Korean.
Do what I did. Give the reasonable information required to determine representation and avoid double counting (names, ages and number of people in the household). Then tell them you are done.
The census worker that came to my door wasn’t at all surprised or miffed. He just filled in the forms and went on his way.
And I too filled it in and sent it back the first time (with the same limited information).
Why not just answer the f*ing questions and let her get on with her work?
Fly a Gadsden Flag....they’ll know where you’re coming from before they knock on your door.
“I’d love to answer your questions, but the voices in my head say I have to clean the guns first.”
“I’m disfellowshipped. You shouldn’t even be talking to me.”
Oh, wait, that’s for the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
I’ve had a very dedicated census taker show up at my door four times that I know of already. She leaves a note taped to my storm door asking me to call, which I don’t. However, she somehow got my telephone number. When she called and asked if I live at blah-blah blah street, I told her no. She still keeps coming...morning, afternoon, evening even on weekends.
I will not answer the door for anyone I don’t know or expect and that includes census takers. And I won’t participate in the census because I have no idea what nefarious plans this administration has for the data. They want to arrest me? Fine. Come and get me.
ACORN members and other leftist activists will be out in full force in 2010 working for the census. They will be doing their best to count every illegal immigrant in sight (and out of sight) to inflate the population numbers in liberal population centers. Why? To get the maps re-drawn to create additional Democrat districts. (Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, said “If you think redistricting is always partisan and political – which it is – it’s going to be on steroids this time.”) If the 2010 census is going to be a farce, both sides may as well play the game. If you live in a conservative area, make sure you inflate the numbers when the census-taker comes knocking at your door. If you’re married with two children, tell them you have four. Make up names and birthdates, and say they’re off at college. Don’t forget to include your brother-in-law Murray, who lives with you – along with his wife and three kids. And don’t forget the two tenants who rent the room above the garage… or your mother-in-law, who can’t be disturbed now because she is taking a nap in her bedroom (even if she’s been dead for a few years.) The more people who are counted as living in your area, the better the chances it will need to be split into two congressional districts. Voila! Two conservative congressmen instead of one!

I keep waiting for one to show up on my doorstep. I want to see their face when I tell them my race is “elven”.
According to their own definitions, it’s a valid answer!
Well stand there use your fingers and count for awehile then say however many are in your home. When they ask race say human. Go to the door armed with a Bible and after those 2 questions start asking them if they have been saved, most will begin to back away at that point.
By this time they should be backing away slowly. Tell them your case worker is coming by in a while with your meds. It's the only thing that keeps you from getting kidnapped by aliens again. Tell them you will wait by the door for the next ten years until they come back.
I think it would be fun to have the census worker come to my house. I don't know why everyone is complaining.
I never got a form in the mail because I have to drive 4 miles to the Post Office and they could not find my place. I went to the library and put my name and said I was a Legal American. They can’t find my place because the gate is locked so I am not expecting them.
Oh you lucky gal! I was hoping they would come to my house. I was going to greet them in some camo clothes with a big Castro like cigar hanging on my lip and maybe a sidearm just for show....LOL!!
BTW...DONT give false answers to a federal representative...that IS a crime..
my three answers:
5 (number of people who live here)
It’s a matter of public record (name etc)
none of your business (relationships, race, etc)
Just lay out a bottle of Chianti, a can of fava beans, some sharp butcher knives, a roll of duct tape and a single wine glass. Make sure they are out in the open where they can be seen. Invite the census work to join you for a glass of wine. Ask the person if they enjoy fried liver. ;-)
some guy called me yesterday to CONFIRM the answers I gave the lady were correct.
I did not give my phone # out, specifically to avoid the quality control phone call. But they got my # anyways.
Just BS to make up jobs.
