Are they already asking the questions door to door? I heard a guy on the local radio say a nut from ACORN gave hime something saying he was required to answer all questions, yet the ACORN nut had already filled everything out before going to the house.

We had a young Crow tribe Indian gal come around and she was so timid. She was asking me where everyone lived and looking accross the river at hillside cabins she wanted to know how many people were up there.Too scared to travel down the trails to get there. She did not ask for race, age, nothing but simple numbers of residents.

I like it! Perhaps everyone should tell them to (respectfully, shove it.) What they gonna do then. In my part of the woods people are pretty peeved with the Fed Gov.

If a census taker comes to my door (they never have) my first question will be ,”Are you from ACORN?”

When the questioning moves away from the # of people at our address, thats when
I tell them “Whoa, stop right there, I’m through with ya’”

If you are threatened with fines or legal action by a census taker by phone or in person use this:

“Since you have threatened legal action, I respectfully decline to answer this question based on my 5th amendment protection against self-incrimination due to the possibility that my responses might be used against me in a court of law.”

Repeat for each question asked.

I would bet even money that the AORN community organizer bosses will instruct their most loyal field reps on how to fill in any forms where the household contacted doesn’t want togive more than the number of persons living in the residence ... fabrication for exquisite effect is ACORN’s modus operendi don’tchaknow.

I don’t doubt it at all. The purpose is to redistrict with bias. Getting GPS data makes it easy to draw boundary lines once the demographics are plotted against the GPS data.

In the 2000 census they asked the next door neighbor for info when I refused any more than number of residents.
