census people

[Captain Virgil Hilts]

If you worry about the government having your personal information too late they already have it.  you know that birth certificate, social security card, driver's license, w2 forms, income tax statements, marriage license.....

or you really think the census form is the only thing they need to put all that info together .  Fill it out or not, your choice, but its like voting, dont do it and dont complain about anything later. just one thing, those census people are just regular people trying to make a buck, dont give them any crap, on the other hand watch out for the fake census people that start by asking your social security number, those you call the police.

You mean the ones who got arrested, such as the sex offender who tried to rape a woman, are just regular people trying to make a buck?


Sorry, race, creed, color, religion, and things of that nature are NOT pertinent to the census. Or do you think they should use that information to make decisions? That's something similar to discrimination, to put it mildly.

The point is, the census requires ONLY the number of people living at a location, as well as possibly their age and sex. They need no other information, and should be prevented from even asking for any, at all.

The collection of any other information allows them the opportunity to abuse information they should not even have.

ROC, I had a similar problem.  I filled out the number of people living in the house and that was it.  THe person who showed up tried to tell me that I was going to take 10 minutes with him to fill in the rest of the information.  I told him in no uncertain terms would he get any more information about me or my family, and he replied, "We'll see about that."  At that point I told him he had 60 seconds to vacate my doorstep or he'd regret not being gone.  I called the cops and reported what was said and they sent an officer (within two minutes) and had a nice chat with him in front of our house which included him to never come back and harass these people again.

My wife filled out number of person at location. 5 nothing else.

So we get a knock on the door. I said you have all the information you will get. He said are you refusing to answer my questions I said NO i dont have to there is a big difference. So he hands me a little brochure  with some laws passed that say i have to answer all his questions. I said very well let me review these laws come back tomorrow and I will answer what I legally have too. He said " i already know what will happen if you refuse to answer then they will get a court order and get all the info that is public record. I said what are you doing here then, go get it.

So he left.

I come home two days later and he is sitting in my driveway. He said I am here as a fellow citizen and not a census worker. I just wanted to let you know that you were right I did some research and you only have to give the number of people in the home. All the other laws that congress passed just say " we would like to know if you want to give us the info." 

There is no need for a census all people now born in the U.S are given a SS# they already have the number of legal people in the U.S. They don't even need to send you a form.
