Hey, at least the money going to the postal service might help keep Saturday delivery.....

[Ranger Ron]

I got this email today also. Great idea. I think I am planning on ONLY answering a few selected questions and none of the financial etc.

[rgrokelley]

How much did it cost to send everyone a letter telling them the Census would be mailed to them in the near future ? What a waste of money and resources!

No shit! Could not believe I got mail telling me that I am going to get mail............ :?

That little bit of info, to 123 million households, cost us, the taxpayers, 43 million dollars.

Got to love the government

So remember: Question 9 — "Some other race" — "American". Pass it on.

(Edited from today's email. I am not the author, but it looks like a plan to me.)

Done !

As I read it, not answering a question gets you up to a $100 fine and giving a false answer gets you up to a $500 fine. My take is that answering "American" is not a false answer.

Title 13, US Code passed by Congress as of Jan. 5, 2009:

§ 221. Refusal or neglect to answer questions; false answers
(a) Whoever, being over eighteen years of age, refuses or willfully neglects, when requested by the Secretary, or by any other authorized officer or employee of the Department of Commerce or bureau or agency thereof acting under the instructions of the Secretary or authorized officer, to answer, to the best of his knowledge, any of the questions on any schedule submitted to him in connection with any census or survey provided for by subchapters I, II, IV, and V of chapter 5 of this title, applying to himself or to the family to which he belongs or is related, or to the farm or farms of which he or his family is the occupant, shall be fined not more than $100.
(b) Whoever, when answering questions described in subsection (a) of this section, and under the conditions or circumstances described in such subsection, willfully gives any answer that is false, shall be fined not more than $500.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, no person shall be compelled to disclose information relative to his religious beliefs or to membership in a religious body.

I answered with "some other race" and put "American" in every spot that referenced race.

Fuck them.

[Flesh Thorn]

My take is that answering "American" is not a false answer.

Unless your name is Barack Hussein Obama.

[al_2ndWolfhounds]

Sounds right to me, just got mine.

[RangerX]

I just got thing they mailed me telling me they were mailing me something.

I think I might try to have some fun with this. Maybe I can start my own minority or something.

[Jim]
