cold day in hell

All you sheeple out there need to quit trusting your government so much. Your all brain washed. What happened to individualism in this country. The questions they ask are to invasive and will not be answered by me or my family.
—Guest not today

People wont fill the form or cant?

Some of these dumbass rednecks and bitter Republicans (i.e. Tea Party retards) need to quit bitching about, "It's none of the governments damn business" and just fill the form. Maybe they'll put more federal money into your backass state so you can get your teeth fixed.
—Guest Ih8rednecks

yes, most of it

but NOT my name and phone number. All that the census requires is a count of the people, and that is all they will get from me.

If My Town Knows, So Do The Feds

Every single year, my town sends out a census form. It contains my name, my occupation, my address...even how many dogs I own. I fill out nothing. Just sign and return. The Federal Census form gives the impression that this information is somehow "top secret" and the government would be helpless to obtain it without my response. By the way...I'm not even sure where my response (head count and names only) is going. The return address for the form is a bar code!!! How's that for transparency in government?

only the number of people- why the census obsession with hispanics?
—Guest no fool

Hell no

I understand that the only requirement is to complete the number of people in the household, and that is all I am going to give them. No name, no race, no age, no info about my mortgage or lack thereof. I am sick of the federal government.
—Guest Unregistered

Yes

What is with all of this paranoia? I just went outside to check and the sky is not falling. The census isn't something new this government thought up, it's been going on since the early 1900's.......and it's important.
—Guest DaffyD

Minimal info also

Yes, but no name and no date of birth. I decided to white out the info. I am a legal citizen, how many illegals will fill this out?
—Guest ed

No 2 his head count for enturnment camps

I got my census form today in the mail today and i tossed it in a fire pit and watched it Burn into nothingness F@*% YOU Dictator Obama The census workers coming to my door will hear nothing and see nothing no one will be there to submit to them or answer their questions for this kenyan Dictator....
—Guest NO to the Nazi Kenyan

-.-

the original purpose if the census is to properly have the correct number of house of representative members in ratio to the population of each state. any information other than that is unnecessary and agreed, none of their business. i dont think a fine should be enforced for imformation the public believe should remain private. It seems lately that what the american people want has been totally avoided rather than atleast considered and its getting disrespectful considering we pay them not the other way around.

Mrs.

Yes, but name and number of residents only. I got it today 3/15/10, but to be accurate it wants a count as of 4/1/10. If I mail it back now should I include a note that I will notify them if I pass away before 4/1/10? Smile.
—Guest J W

citizen

Sure I'm going to fill out the census. I'm getting so tired of all the paranoia running rampant in our society, it's going to hurt us worse than the government will.
—MayDepew

12 people in your house????

If there are 12 people living in your house the Gov. knows all about you from DHHS Social Services. Why do you think 12 people live there!!!!
—Guest JK

Will Not Fill Out

I will not fill it out.I am fed up with the gradual slide of more and more laws and as a probation officer working in law and order I have finally come to realize that the the states and the federal goverment have begun to stretch my limits of tolerence and as a result this will be the first time mine goes in the trash.If they want to fine me or put me on probation they can.I am joing the Tea Party.

Government Needs to budget their $Better

I have never filled out the census in any form and will not again this year. It is clearly none of their business. The government needs to live within their budgets anyways. The American public has learned to do that, when will the government learn to cutback (their own pockets). When the census taker steps foot on my property, they will be asked to leave as they are trespassing.
