US Census Is Getting Personal

What an idiot. Collection of census info violates the 4th amendment on search and seizure? There is no violation when you voluntarily provide that info. Also, if you knew federal law as well as you think you understand the constitution, it is against federal law for the info to be shared amongst any other agency or police bureau.

Hey Jerry,

Postal Workers are Federal Government agents as well. And those guys know EXACTLY what mail we get and CONTROL when (and if) we get it.

Next time one of those jack-booted Government thugs comes up to my door trying to deliver his propaganda, he should expect to see me exercising my second amendment right.

Thanks for the heads up!!

the only question you are required to answer by law is how many people live in your home, ignore everythng else. it is none of the governments damn business!

I was going to be a census taker , when I found out the questions I had to ask , I told them to shove it where the sun don't shine!
Also , I must tell you that you may be interviewed about the fish that you caught . When you come into the dock a government agent will interview you and will ask personal questions about you and you family , including your income what vehicles you own , how many homes you own etc. and many more questions. I interviewed for this this job also. Your government has gone haywire!

Just fill out the form, send it in, and no one will show up at your door.

this information is for statistical data only and there has always been an option to not answer. I don't know what this guys problem is, I think people just need something to complain about.

The census is the most valuable tool that geneologists have today to research their families' histories. I would be glad to answer the questions and I will be glad to work for the census too - I am hoping to hear from them since I scored 100% on the test last month. Why are we worried about these questions? They are not as confidential as the info we file in our tax return? The govt. already has that info. This conspiracy crap has to stop.

The census taker will get a surprise when he looks up at my window.

5:10, test? you have got to be kidding, you had to take a test to go door to door asking people personal questions for a part time job? what were the questions on the test? let me guess, questions:
#1 Who did you vote for in the last election?
#2 can you walk and chew gum at the same time?
#3 are you lazy and uneducated?
should i go on?
