"The Democrats are suckers, Rove suckered them in and the Liberals on the SCOTUS have frightened almost every property owner in America with their recent decision on Property rights. The American people are beginning to see what the MSM has been hiding from them for years, and I'm quite sure they don't like what they see!"

Just wait until everyone gets the NEW mandated "American Community Survey" from the US Census Dept. We have already had to comply with it..I have written my Senators concerning the very intrusive questions on this one..The IRS does not ask for nearly as much..They are only sending out 200,000 a month so it will be hard to get a real negative response at any one time for such a small segment of the population. They claim the information will be private and will be used only to decide which states get funds but any thinking, informed, concerned about freedom, American, will see red flags all over the place on this one..If you are interested in the questions asked go the the US Census site and take a look at it. I would be interested to know whether others felt as we did..

Thanks for the headsup...Here's what I found

A New Approach for Timely Information

The American Community Survey (ACS) is a new nationwide survey designed to provide communities a fresh look at how they are changing. It is intended to eliminate the need for the long form in the 2010 Census. The ACS will collect information from U.S. households similar to what was collected on the Census 2000 long form, such as income, commute time to work, home value, veteran status, and other important data. As with the official U.S. census, information about individuals will remain confidential.

Three Million Households to be Surveyed

The ACS will collect and produce population and housing information every year instead of every ten years. About three million households will be surveyed each year. Collecting data every year will reduce the cost of the official decennial census, and will provide more up-to-date information throughout the decade about trends in the U.S. population at the local community level. A similar program is planned for Puerto Rico.

Expanding Local Coverage

The ACS began in 1996 and has expanded each subsequent year. Data currently are available for 800 local areas, including 241 counties, 206 congressional districts, most metropolitan areas of 250,000 population or more, all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The Census Bureau plans to conduct the ACS in every county of the U.S., contacting the residents of three million housing units. Within three years, data should be available for all areas of 20,000 or more. For small areas less than 20,000, it will take five years to accumulate a large enough sample to provide estimates with accuracy similar to the decennial census.
