Apparently all those people who turned in their census:
a) cannot read
or
b) can see into the future
because the census asks for how many people are living at the address on APRIL 1st. I won’t know until then so why give them a reason to charge me with fraud? I wouldn’t put it past them. Mine goes in the mail April 1st.

Okay, here some rambling thoughts I have on the census (originally I said it was a question, but I ended up not actually asking a question...).
There is a little leaflet enclosed that says to fill out the census and return it within the next week. We got it in mid-March.
Then, the census itself says it’s supposed to be a snapshot of the population on 4/1/10.
So how can anyone fill it out and send it in before then? I mean, things happen. Yeah, I hope everyone that’s here now will still be here on 4/1— and likewise I hope my oldest sister doesn’t end up moving in with us between now and the, but you get my drift.

The local library stocks census forms - free for the taking in English, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese...I wonder if there will be an over-count?

51 % in my town. The dems returned the thing, the Republicans threw it in the trash.

Its just money, nothing important. I have gotten a total of 3 mailings in as many weeks about this: the first, "it's coming - please participate!"; second, the intrusive form itself; and then a postcard early this week wondering why I hadn't sent inmy form yet (I'm thinking about it - or not.)
In my entire life I can't remember as much angst being made about this process and as much money being poured into it in the past.

To: BuckeyeTexan
Ah crap...
National and California are at 34%, but my county is at 38% ...
Well, I'm doing my part to drag the number down (... I'll eventually turn in my form - minimal information; with a big black X through their 'ethnic question' - and "AMERICAN" hand written in ... maybe with a copy of the text of the Constitution which says the Census is to count the number of people in the household... But eventually - no big hurry).

51 % in my town. The dems returned the thing, the Republicans threw it in the trash. The Republicans should return it, too, with just the number of people in the household. That's what I do, otherwise the Democrats get overrepresented when they apportion new seats for Congress. I refuse to answer all other questions.

So far, I have gotten
...a letter telling me they were going to send me a census form...
...a census form...
...a postcard reminding me to send in my census form...
I haven’t went it in yet,
since it asks me how many people
are living here on April first,
and it is not April first yet,
and I do not have a crystal ball.

The question is even posed in the past tense: "how many people
LIVED in this residence on April 1."
I'm with you; it would give the fascists an excuse to intrude even further by claiming fraud.

I’m tempted to answer that 50 people lived at my house on April 1st and then say “April Fools!” when they question me. Somehow I don’t think they’d find it funny.

If you’re a white Christian male, are you three-fifths of a person?
