I've gotten the American Community Survey in the mail
Til I am the last man standing | 7-6-09 | Vanity

Posted on 07/06/2009 8:10:56 AM PDT by Til I am the last man standing

I have just received the American Community Survey form from the Census Bureau. This is the replacement for the 2010 long form and is being given randomly to a certain number of households. My knee jerk reaction was to chuck it and wait for my official Census Form to come in order to only give my name, rank, and serial number. However, I started looking at what my answers to the questions would be (ie. Caucasian, US citizen, Suburban driving, self-employed professional, non-grandchild rearing, enabled not disabled) and started to think maybe my lifestyle needs to be counted. What do the freepers think?

Yes, every self-reliant non-parasite they count helps stop the socialization of our country.

I say no. Make ‘em beg for it. It’s a small piece of resistance. The data will be used exclusively to “fix” “social problems” that are non-existent, at your expense.

The other alternative it to flagrently lie about everything on it to jam the system with bad data.

Merely doing a good job filling it out is helping the bad guys. (Obama’s rouge regime)

Do you live in a red state or a blue state?

“The other alternative it to flagrently lie about everything on it to jam the system with bad data.”

I concur. If in a blue state, no one lives there.

If in a red state, all children still live there, as do all your pets, who are people, too.

ACORN will be counting dead people in Detroit. It needs to be balanced.

Give them only the information they are Constitutionally entitled to.

In bold letters, write “NOYFB” across it and return it.

Funny ...

Is that "rogue" as in "out of control" or "rouge" as in "red communist"?

Either way, it's accurate.

The ACS is VERY invasive and I will NOT fill the answers in to their liking.

On questions that I feel are none of their business I will put N/A.
I answered the question, just not they way they would like.

Do you think it really matters? The politicians, socialists and special interests that run our country don’t care how you live. They intend to exterminate the middle class whether it’s one person or millions.

Like Stalin said: One death is a tragedy. One million deaths is a statistic. You fill out the census, you are just part of a statistic.

Nah, this is the time to be passive aggressive. Stay off the radar, while screwing them.

Just supply junk info, inflate red ares, deflate blue areas.

I got mine last week. I am sitting on it ponder how i will respond. I am considering seeking assistance from Congressman Bachmann, who I am of the understanding, she will only respond to them what they are constitutionally entitled to receive. That is, number of persons in the household, period....

Texas is a safe red state. ACORN will be intentionally suppressing votes there.

Remember, Congressinal representation is based on population.

So all your pets are people. Your kids who moved away live with you.

And the rest of the data? Well, I guess some Eskimos live in Texas.

With a name like ‘Jack Black’ I’d say the poster was aiming to instruct by referencing color ... as in rouge, commie red, especially with this current crop of Marxist bass turds floating through Washington.

The American Community Survey (ACS) is a nationwide survey designed to provide communities a fresh look at how they are changing. It is a critical element in the Census Bureau's reengineered decennial census program. The ACS collects and produces population and housing information every year instead of every ten years.

No basis for this in the constitution. It is govt. run amok and will result in more oppressive central planning from bureaucrats in Washington.

After reading some of the questions I would tell them to "shove it."

I don't have much faith in the count. It gives me the creeps to think the census count may be similar to the election returns in the Iranian election. I know, I know, I'm just an old vet who thinks that everything coming out of Washington is bad, my emails are being monitored as are my cell calls, my movement is being monitored, the only people telling the truth are Rush,Glen,Sean and Pete King.I also believe that Sarah Palin is the true hope for the future of our Republic and both parties hate her because she's honest. I know, I'm a lunatic. I should just sit in the corner and suck my thumb till socialize medicine gives me my Soilent Green allotment and some pain killer to ease the pain from an injury that won't be treated due to my unproductive age.

There was a funny story of a man who wrote “egg” in response to all the census questions and then acted like a lunatic when an angry census worker showed up to get his information. Too bad I cant find it.

We are thinking of claiming “Native American” - both of us were born here and we ARE Americans. They’ll probably wonder how the indians got off the reservation!
