The Census Nazis

We are part of the "small" number of people to receive this BS "mandatory" survey and have been bothered incessantly by threatening phone calls, mailings, FedEx mailing, and 2 personal visits which resulted in census intruders getting the door shut in their faces. They have recently stopped, following some drawn out message on the answering machine from some worker that couldn't understand why so many people refuse to "participate in the census" these days. Just to be clear, the ongoing American Community Survey really has nothing to do with the actual census that takes place every ten years and asks a minimum of questions. Will see if there is an attempt to fine us, but all of the posts online sound like they finally just give up. To be fair. I read somewhere that the creation of this had something to do with the Patriot Act. Don't know if that's accurate.

Forgot to mention that the initial packet received in the mail also wanted the names of any persons who occasionally stay in our home, and I believe, more financial questions than listed in the sample at the link. It all ended up in the garbage so don't have anything to refer back to. This seems like a really prime example of big brother trying to look up your ass.

Best be careful. OT may drop a dime on you and call law enforcement to you for being an "Anarchist".

It's true, he threatened me. More than once. :roll:

I almost wonder if donating to the NRA or R candidates trigger the scrutiny of these government employed lemmings. After the Lois Lerner scandal, and all of the conservatives that have been targeted for audit, nothing would surprise me.

Even pistol permit holders should be wary. Shame that we have no more control over gov't officials than we do......................
