From your link:

(Do I have to fill out the vencus form?)

Yes. Respondents are required to answer all questions on the American Community Survey (ACS) to the best of their ability. Response to this and other Census surveys is required by law (Section 221 of Title 13, Chapter 7, United States Code). This chapter also contains information regarding offenses and possible penalties. According to Section 221, persons who do not respond shall be fined not more than $100. Title 18 U.S.C. Section 3571 and Section 3559, in effect amends Title 13 U.S.C. Section 221 by changing the fine for anyone over 18 years old who refuses or willfully neglects to complete the questionnaire or answer questions posed by census takers from a fine of not more than $100 to not more than $5,000. More information.

Your answers are very important because they represent the answers of many other similar households in your community. The data that you and others provide in response to this survey are required to manage or evaluate federal and state government programs. If you submit an incomplete form or provide data that are unclear, we may contact you by phone or in person to obtain or clarify the missing information.

The ACS is part of the Decennial Census Program. It is a survey that is sent to a small percentage of our population on a rotating basis. These data previously were collected only in census years in conjunction with the decennial census. Since the ACS is conducted every year, rather than once every ten years, it will provide more current data throughout the decade. The Census Bureau may use the information it collects only for statistical purposes. Title 13 requires the Census Bureau to keep all information about you, and all other respondents, strictly confidential. Any Census Bureau employee who violates these provisions is subject to a fine up to $250,000, a prison sentence up to five years, or both.

And in refusing to provide the extraneous info, what a wonderful, non-violent way to gum up the works :)

They are not Census Bureau employees. They are from ACORN who is notorious for not having the best of staff working for them. I wouldn't trust them no matter how much they claim to be from the Census.

This is the key. Tell them something, anything, just don't tell them the truth. I'm a hispanic, high school drop out, union member, making $453,069 and my religion is wiccan.

“Respondents are required to answer all questions on the American Community Survey (ACS) to the best of their ability.”

There are so many questions that I’m just not sure about. I get so confused sometimes I just really don’t know what the answers are.

These were the laws before the census was hijacked and put under control of the chicago thugs in the white house. .. Is there any possibility that action could nullify that law?
