They say that the cecsus forms have to be filled out by law...how true that is I don't know but I don't want any cecsus workers showing up at the house with plants under roof

yeah their sweating my like they really want me to answer their questions

I actually went to apply for that shit. They are supposed to do all they can to find you lol

they do not have the authority to do anything to you according to the constitution


you are legally required to tell them how many people live in your house, as thats the entire purpose of the census

but in america we have this thing called the 5th amendment

this applies to everything, including the census

I have nothing to hide and it's postage-paid. I just hope the Jews that did 9/11 don't get my info.

yea if you don't fill it out chances are there gonna show up at your door and wanna come in so lets hope we got our odor under control =)

I expect nothing less from this board. This ignorant post is completely unsurprising.

The U.S. Constitution empowers the Congress to carry out the census in "such manner as they shall by Law direct" (Article I, Section 2).

Who creates law in the country? Congress. Therefore Congress sets the guidelines/laws for the Census.

And before anyone tries to tell me that this information can be used by anyone in the government; you're fucking dumb

By law, the Census Bureau cannot share respondents’ answers with anyone, including the IRS, FBI, CIA or any other government agency

Provisions of the Patriot Act pertaining to information-gathering and -sharing do not override federal confidentiality laws when it comes to the U.S. Census, the Justice Department said this week.

The clarification by government lawyers came at the request of minority lawmakers, who were seeking to allay the fears of constituents about the first national headcount since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

And also to prove my point further that the constitution LEGALLY allows congress to pass laws in regards to what can be on the census

In a letter sent Wednesday to the leaders of the congressional Asian Pacific, Black and Hispanic caucuses, Assistant Attorney General Ronald H. Weich said, "The long history of congressional enactments protecting [Census] information from such disclosure, as well as the established precedents of the courts and this department, supports the view that if Congress intended to override these protections, it would say so clearly and explicitly."

I don't even understand why so many of you nutters are afraid of telling the government how many people live in your house. some of you are trying to use the "5th amendment" as an argument against the census for utterly unreasonable fears.

Exactly!
It's not that big of a deal, it takes 5 minutes to fill out and it's important.
