What part are we legally required to fill out on our Census form?
I got a nasty gram in the mail today because I haven't sent mine back yet. I know that it is in the Constitution to reply to the Census. But don't I only have to give how many people live at my residence and their ages? I don't like giving Big Brother anything they don't need

I don't like giving Big Brother anything they don't need You didn't get a nasty gram yet just a postcard mentioning the legal requirement to be COUNTED. The problem with the census is that 99% of the questions are illegal. I have not sent mine back and I don't plan to. When they send me a legal census, that only asks how many people live at my address, THEN I will send it back. Until then, they can urinate up a rope. |

Got the same post card and I mailed it back on Monday. So 3 pieces of mail, one to warn me it's coming, one for the census itself and one as a nag. I wrote return to sender on the second notice. And the postman took it; whether it actually goes back? Who the heck knows. Knowing him, he probably got a good laugh on it. |

The form I had consisted of 2 columns. Left side as english and right side was for illegal immigrants from the south.
In each column there is a large box inside the "column box" that says "this is the 2010 census". The only question in that box is "How many people live in this house?". I interpret that as the the actual census. Everything else is filler and optional. |

It is clearly soliciting a false report to ask me on March 15th how many people lived at this address on April 1, 16 days in the future. And the reminder notice received today, March 23, is just as idiotic. They either think I am psychic, a time-traveler, or they're trying to entrap me by suborning perjury. And I might just waste a stamp to tell them so.
Up a rope, indeed

Think about how different the country is now than it was just ten years ago. Do you really think inner city welfare bums are going to take the time to send this back? What about young people that are "rebels"? They will probably just throw it away. I am sure quite a few elderly people will just throw it in the trash thinking it is junk mail. It looked like a Publisher's Clearing House type letter when I first got mine in the mail.
Other than middle class families I doubt they get 75% of these things back this time around. |

Mathematically impossible for it to be 99% illegal. |
