CENSUS WORKERS - (long form) at my house
Census workers came to my house even though I sent mine in!

They had the long form with them and asked questions like:
Did I spend time at a vacation home, sleep over at another house, been in jail, etc. (WTF?)
Do I own this house outright, have a mortgage and how much do I owe etc.
What is my name, telephone number, age etc.
What time I leave for work etc..
(answer to all: none of Gov's business)
The one thing they didn't ask was if I was a US citizen. Hmmm.

They pretty much dispensed with trying to ask more questions after they only got "number of people, sex and race" from me.
They were very nice about it. Interesting that they hinted that other folks had refused to answer these "questions".

I thought it was weird that they would come back and ask questions even though I had sent mine in.

Pfft.

You should have told them to leave. It's illegal to be counted twice.

The only question that was any of their business is the one they didn't ask. Stupidity still rules the government.

They don't want to scare off the illegals. LOL they want to count them so that we can then pay for all of their freebies and destruction while being expected to tolerate their noise and crap. LOL They want us to pay to be abused.

Check this - the apartments where we live in Houston moved families of 4 & 5 into the one bedroom building. It doubled the occupancy average per apartment. Now our utility bills have been reformulated at double the rate because of it.

it's probably best to just be nice to them and only give the number of people living in your house as you are required to do by the constitution

if they ask more than that respectfully refuse to answer because you believe it violates your constitutional right to privacy

no need to give them a hard time

they just hire local people to go do it..

they aren't really "government workers" in the true sense of the word

they are your neighbors basically
 Quoting: ^TrInItY^


very true. remember also that how many representatives you get is, in whole or in part i'm not sure, dependant on the census. some of those questions are a bit, well, dumb i think, but at least get the important stuff in.

Re: CENSUS WORKERS - (long form) at my house
They came to my place also.

I told them before I would answer any questions, that would have to give me a Miranda warning. They did not do so, so I did not answer any questions. If they would have given me a Miranda warning, I would have chosen to remain silent.

They left and spent about 15 minutes outside writing notes. I will most likely see them again, this time with a Miranda statement and you know what I'll do.

im starting census work next week....i know im a loser.

The census is full of bumbling idiots like me.

The government already know where you live...i personally think the census is less evil than most of you guys do. All they ask is who lives there? ages, ethnicity and rent or own.

But i do see your point....fuck em and dont give em shit.

Not if you get the long form...be prepared. I filled out the short form and returned it like a good little sheep, but don't come knocking on my door with this form in tow. You won't be meeting the sheep. :)

Re: CENSUS WORKERS - (long form) at my house
The Republicans are in a fine pickle over this-most of the anti census people are Republican, and the Republicans need all the heads counted so their legislative districts can be re-drawn.

The fewer tea baggers that fill out the census-the fewer GOP Reps could be in Congress.


Now this is all I read. I dont know for sure how they can figure your party out for redistricting, but I did read that this fact made the GOP nervous

They are out (United Nations) to whack those disobedient.

Rather than kill I'm sure almost they would abduct them and their children to retrain most.

Get out to a witch doctor and request all items to place onto your front door that have powers for privacy and being left alone by those out to be trespassers.

Re: CENSUS WORKERS - (long form) at my house
When I filled out my form I only answered the first question...How many people live in your household..I answered 1.

I have been waiting for them to come by and give me a hard time about not filling the whole form out.

Well today I got my visit...Very young girl maybe 20 years old...She came to my door and said I didnt do a Census form.
I said that I filled mine out and sent it in...She said OK have a good day and left.

It was almost a let down...Maybe Ill get a second visit.


On a side note my parents live on a farm and use a PO Box for thier mail,but thier address is also listed on all thier mail that is sent to the PO Box....They never got a form and they were told that forms are not sent to PO boxes. Do people like them get skipped?? They did receive the GPS census visit however..Odd

cool2
Acceptance is a Two-Edged sword...
