    Everyone get the same questions? All mine were like names, ages, race of the people who lived there.

    I got the chain e-mails beforehand fear mongering about all sorts of big government crap that was supposed to be on there. Like most fear-based lunatic ramblings, reality is quite benign compared the conspiracy.

    what were people freaking out about? i hadn't received any chain emails about it or maybe i have, i generally ignore things that say FWD
    don't compete; coexist

    what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

    when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
    i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'

    It is possible the Rep. Bachman may have her Congressional District Lines re-drawn as the result of the census showing lower than actual numbers from her district.

    I didn't get any emails, but I don't like our government promoting racism by asking questions about race so I didn't answer those. Plus, there are no definitions of race that are objective, so I really can't answer anyway.

    I wasn't real fond of the questions about the mortgage on the home, but I did answer that one.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    Hey if those teabaggers don't wanna fill out the census, I won't stop them. Means the rest of us get more stuff like funding for schools and infrastructure... .and gawsh maybe even reverse decades of gerrymandering by Republicans.

    Mine had nothing about mortgage... just Name, Age, Gender, Phone Number, Race (Martian), How many in the house, Any others in the house, Are you sure no one else in the house... nothing about financials.

    Racial/ethnic information that people volunteered about themselves on census forms was used to help the government round up Japanese Americans and put them in concentration camps.

    unsung I stopped by on March 7 2024. First time in many years, had to update payment info. Hope all is well. Politicians suck. Bye. Posts: 9,487
    I filled mine out with all spanish sounding names and stated everyone was here illegally. Soon after that I was deluged with offers of welfare, financial aid, and numerous Democrats courting me for my future vote.

    the fascination some Americans have with cutting off their noses to spite their faces, never ceases to amaze me.

    don't fill out the census forms if that's how you feel. and please don't complain when not as much funding is directed your way for hospitals/schools/emergency services etc, to name a few. you won't be requiring them because according to the census results, that's a few less numbers that need to be taken into consideration.

    unbelievable. these forms are designed to try and help you.

    its going to be really funny to me when they redraw congressional districts after the census and some of these heavy GOP states had many people not complete the census forms and these states end up losing a district or two and the corresponding representatives...for example, if texas loses three districts, there are three less texas republicans in the house...just something for you people to think about when you choose to falsify census data or "forget" to fill it out and submit it....
