By the way, quality control in this case means a clerk or supervisor calling the occupant up to see if the enumerator was telling the truth on the form. As previously explained counting WITH listing of names assures an accurate count of household.
@Zakdayak Through the majority of history, humans have lived under tyranny. Free nations have fallen to corruption countless times in the past, and it is always allowed to happen by the ignorant masses who so trustingly give their rights away to a 'messiah' without asking questions. It's so idiotic to think that it can't happen here, and that you shouldn't do your duty as an American citizen. We are supposed to "jealously guard our rights," not stubbornly yell, "Decent shall not be heard!"
That's a very nice Bar Mitzvah speech. It has nothing to do with the Census. If you are afraid of the Census then you're paranoid. You are far from noble, and on this topic, far from "decent."
Freedom can also be lost precisely by jealousy, distrust and hatred, just like the German population who were "jealous" enough to distrust who they viewed as "untermensh." Freedom can be lost by individuals who refuse to correctly evaluate politics through logic and reason, instead using slogans.
The Census is the greatest thing that ever happened to this Country! The people who are against the Census are aganist living with the rest of the COuntry! You can't run forever!!!! The Census came and it was a success!
What a joke. Everyone saying get the word out. Like it's some secret. You do realize the census as it is, asking way more questions than legally allowed, is a middle finger to the constitution? How about some of you get the word out about that?
Fill out the one field of 'How many people in household'. That is what you are required to do by the constitution. Any more is seizure of personal information. (4th amendment)
Doubt you'll see 'roads getting fixed' because you filled out your census...
Why would asking additional questions violate the constitution? Where does it say in the Constitution that the gov't CAN"T ask you what you're name is, or whether you live on a military base some of the time? Please show me where?? Of course, you can refuse these additional questions. Bush listening in to our service men and women's calls from Iraq as they call their spouses here in the States, even while having phone sex...THAT's violating the 4th amendment!!
@Zakdayak How is forcing me by law to forfeit my personal private information NOT unconstitutional? The constitution says the government is to ENUMERATE the people. That means a head count, and that was all it was originally intended for. That's how the numbers of state representatives are decided. I filled out the number of people in my household on the census, as required by the constitution. Everything else is none of anyone's business unless I allow it to be their business - Bill of Rights.
@WakeTheFlockUp It's called the CENSUS. Hello, the CENSUS. If you think the Census bureau is going to hurt you, you've been paying too much attention to Alex Jones. But thanks for answering my question with another question with another!
Do you know why I know it's constitutional. Because they bloody well put it the Constitution/first one in 1790. WTF? Ben Franklin was a Nazi??
And the Privacy Act of 1974 strengthened the protections so that other gov't agencies can't get that info. Of course I don't expect you to believe that. I just want to let you know that there's a world outside of the Kool-Aid drinking Alex Jones -PrisonPlanet Zombies and in that world people actually follow ethical guidelines. If it were not so, they wouldn't bother to weed out law enforcement from Census Bureau employment. Exactly how is giving your name and ethnicity going to screw you?
@Zakdayak Again, the constitution called for the census to be an ENUMERATION! Big word they throw in there, but it means a head count! 'Ben Franklin' didn't sign on to that idea thinking that we'd be asked our exact names, marital status and income ranges, exc... Get real! You ask me how the handing over of my personal information is going to screw me? I ask you, what the hell does it matter to the census where I stay when I'm not home!? None of their god damned business! Grow a spine!
@WakeTheFlockUp The Census Bureau does not ask, on the Decennial Census, income questions. Also, you obviously haven't thought what happens when only a "head" count (which tells us nothing about demographics or the needs of the community) is asked. Mainly people get things wrong. But with names people are forced to be accurate. However, most of the questions you're describing you can refuse to answer. It's not mandatory. You still haven't answered my question though. Typical paranoia.
@Zakdayak Wow...The census was NEVER MEANT to tell the federal government ANYTHING about demographics or the needs of the community! That is for your state and local government to handle as their laws see fit! Where in the Commerce Clause, where the federal government derives it's "power" over the states, say that it can to collect any of that information? That's ridiculous! Stop asking, why shouldn't they have my personal information, and start asking, for what, why, and under what authority?
@WakeTheFlockUp I'm not gonna stop asking that. I live in the real world, not AlexJones Land. So yes, I wanna know what the fuck they're supposed to do with your name that has you scared. OH MY GOD, the other agencies, and corporate America already have it. What a fucking selfish douchebag, that you would penalize the rest of us by not giving your info and cooperating by dint of some wacko bullshit irrational paranoia. YES JUSTIFY IT. WHAT ARE THEY SUPPOSE TO DO WITH IT ANSWER DOUCHE BAGGINS!!
@Zakdayak Your forefathers formed this country because they understood tyranny, and they understood that if you give an inch, a mile will ALWAYS be taken. The fact that you are not doing your American duty must have your ancestors rolling in their graves. I hope that none of your family has ever suffered in American wars, because the disgusting 'hands off & trust all' attitude you have towards the world you live in would be sickening and shameful to them.
@Zakdayak Now, how is me not giving up my exact name, phone number, my residence type, my sex, my date of birth, my origin, race and family status 'penalizing' you? Explain how divulging that personal info would benefit you and others!? I mean, get real!!! You bring up the Privacy Act of 1974, when you know just as much as I do that It's a joke. It's been trampled over more than a shower mat. As for what could be done with the information, which you seem to want me to pinpoint... continued.
@Zakdayak ...For one, you obviously haven't heard all the big hype behind 'pre-crime', or preventative law enforcement. Under the banner of homeland security, your personal information and your electronic habits are being studied to see if you fall into a category that would label you as a potential domestic threat. You can be thrown on a no fly list and have permanent marks against you without the rightful trial by your peers; all mainstream news. Now, that doesn't bother you at all, does it?
@WakeTheFlockUp HYPE is correct. Homeland Security is not the Census Bureau. Under the 1974 revisions NO ONE sees PII (Personal, identifiable data) other than the enumerator while he counts and the clerk as he's entering. The names are for quality control and genealogy when they are released in 70 years. If you file for unemployment (through your precious local gov't that you like) then your name will end up on jury duty. The Feds don't share. The rest of your post is Alex Jones made up drivel.
@Zakdayak Man, if you support the federal government over your local government... You are speaking volumes about your understanding of the real issues. I mean, the states FORMED the federal government and only gave it authority through the commerce clause. The states are sovereign; do you seriously think they came together to form a govt that would rule OVER them? Your local governments ARE America. There was never meant to be a standing army, but instead state militias! Support your states!
And Obama is a Conservative Politician/Opportunist. He prefers Corporate solutions, upholds the same policies towards Cuba and Israel along with the wars abroad, War Agaianst Terror, etc...quite mainstream, just on the Domestic front a little Left of Bush. It's called reality: look into it. As for your States they want (or wanted): SLAVERY, sharing of your private information across their agencies (which is supposed to be what your against), Jim Crow, no planned parenthood, etc...YOU ARE WRONG
@Zakdayak Of course.. It all comes down to racism, doesn't it? States = Slavery! Simple as that? Civil War was fought on the issue of slavery alone also, wasn't it? Them damn stubborn southerners were all, "I can't stop oppressing my Negros; it's in my blood! We're sovereign now! And we're gonna die by the hundreds of thousands, simply so we can keep cracking the whips!" Those history books made everything so simple, didn't they?
PS - Sorry, but I'll never stop defending OUR Constitutions. :}
@WakeTheFlockUp The Southern States supported slavery. There were other reasons for the Civil War, yes. You can detail and list them here if you want. But you can't gloss over a central truth because you're not interested in it. And that was one example on how the Feds had to step in. Civil Rights legislation is another.
@Zakdayak What does "OUR Constitutions" mean? Well, I am assuming you are American as well, and... Does anything more need to be said? Unless I am wrong in my assumption; please correct me if I am.
The Civil War was about States rights! It was the southern states getting irritated with the federal government, that THEY created only for the reasons of export organization and immigration, pushing their boundaries more and more until they decided to say enough! And no, not mainly on slavery...

@WakeTheFlockUp You emphasized OUR and I wanted to confirm what I thought you were saying. I think its interesting that you don't seem to believe in the United States system yet you claim to defend it, hence my confusion over the term.
"And no, not mainly on slavery" Here's an excellent example. It happened, MAIN OR NOT SCHMUCK. The States supported Slavery. I said nothing about the causes of the war. What I said was that the South. States backed Slavery. You can bring yourself to admit that.
@Zakdayak And, no. Obama is a liberal/socialist opportunist liar fraud. He likes to repeat past failures and mask them with his iconic spins... Like saying that combat has ended in Iraq, yet thousands of our troops still stand on their soil with M-16s in hand. And the ones he pulled out of Iraq, are just being sent over to fight in Afghanistan and Pakistan; continuing this unjust and never ending war on 'haters'. Or they get sent back home to preform DWI checkpoints in America... With M-16s.
@WakeTheFlockUp "a liberal/socilaist" You're contradicting yourself in the rest of the paragraph. Socialists opose war for corporate profit. If you're telling me he's a liar, thats fine because thats true. Quite obviously for other reasons you leave unmentioned. And the Iraq withdrawal doesn't include superbases. It does include COMBAT troops. Don't misunderstand me, it IS a slight of hand, just not as bad as other of his tricks. But the rest of the paragraph contradicts your "socialist" thesis
@Zakdayak So states in general supported slavery? Or just southern states? So there is no credit to state level government in your eyes? The SOVEREIGN states should bow to their own creation which has been bought, sold and left them to drown in debt? You really need to get in touch with what our founding fathers were trying to organize and why. They experienced slavery, oppression and debt. And they knew that a federal govt must be stubbornly limited.. Even in regards to things like the census.
@WakeTheFlockUp Stop straw-man-ing me and man-up. I referred to Slavery as ONE example of a case where the State gov't was clearly ANTI- LIBERTY. You claim to want to preserve liberty but thats bullshit. You're just selfish and paranoid. As proof of that, I can point to the fact that you can't even admit the wrong headedness of state governments in the above historical example.
NO,NO, The States backing slavery we can overlook, but the Census, NOW THATS A FREEDOM ISSUE!!!!
@Zakdayak I admit slavery was wrong if that is where you are going. But times were different.You didn't see African tribes having unifying powers stepping up and saying they had to get rid of all of their European slaves, which greatly outnumbered African slaves in America at the time. Again, not saying it was right, and African tribes really didn't preach human rights, but at the time it was a type of eye for an eye situation. And also, politicians were the majority of slave owners at the time.
@WakeTheFlockUp Slavery was and is an obvious wrong, stop making excuses. And the point was that is an example of the extreme fallibility of the states and states rights.
@Zakdayak As for the Census, if you were to go back in time and slap a 2010 Census form on the desk of an American of that time, and tell them that a measly federal statue is overriding the Constitution, and they now, by law, HAVE to fill out their personal information for national databases... They'd be starting the war regardless of the slavery issue. States and local sheriffs are our last line of defense against federal oppression. It baffles me that people can't see that.
@WakeTheFlockUp You're a paranoid delusional asswipe. The constitution provides for all these things. You don't need to go into specifics about say, the nuclear codes when talking about the president's war powers in the constitution for example. It doesn't specifically say that he has the power to plunge us into WWIII, yet his possession of the codes is clearly constitutional by inference and by necessity. Hence the use of the word "reasonable" say, in the 4th amendment.
@Zakdayak Ahh, now it comes down to insult simple hurling. Give it up man. You don't even have a sound debate anymore. If you are truly that anti-state and don't really care about the Constitution, then I really feel bad for you. Just, please step out of the way of the people who are actually trying to fix things in this country. Your denial of the police state we live in speaks volumes; and you won't survive a world without federal government handouts and regulation. My best wishes for you.
No it's not just insults...I BACK UP what I say...and you're clearly nuts. It took three passes before you admitted a moral truism, slavery is wrong and the states fucked up. And I provided examples. The point is that States rights don't necessarily secure liberty. I mean, JESUS. And I obviously handed you your ass, demonstrating that you selectively apply what has to be specifically mentioned, and that that standard of constitutionality is both unworkable and imbecilic. You're paranoid.
I'm glad to see this music video was made to increase awareness of the immportance of completing the Census form. I sent mine in the next day I received it. Everybody need to see this video. I will forward it on to my email list. Great job Tony B. and the musical cast.
what kind of audience is this for? ...can someone tell me why the census is pretty much only interested in race? please think about the questions asked on the census.. then give me an answer.
why is race so important? i'm inclined to think that a black or a white or a brown person is equally capable of achievement or the lack of...
so, why such an emphasis on race?
does anyone know if these are the same questions asked on the 1950 census?
race in many instances is highly correlated with socio-economic status. People in poorer neighborhoods need to be counted better so they can receive appropriate funding to help build keep roads paved etc. Those areas are the least likely to fill out the census and have expanded the most in the past 10 years since it was last conducted.
great video, it was a pleasure from Trybe Fam Entertainment to be apart of a important movement, thankyou to musica ent, census commity, and all those who were involved.
This still blows me away! It's just AWESOME!

Your denial of the police state we live in speaks volumes; and you won't survive a world without federal government handouts and regulation. My best wishes for you.

No it's not just insults...I BACK UP what I say...and you're clearly nuts. It took three passes before you admitted a moral truism, slavery is wrong and the states fucked up. And I provided examples. The point is that States rights don't necessarily secure liberty. I mean, JESUS. And I obviously handed you your ass, demonstrating that you selectively apply what has to be specifically mentioned, and that that standard of constitutionality is both unworkable and imbecilic. You're paranoid.

what kind of audience is this for? ...can someone tell me why the census is pretty much only interested in race? please think about the questions asked on the census.. then give me an answer.
why is race so important? i'm inclined to think that a black or a white or a brown person is equally capable of achievement or the lack of...
so, why such an emphasis on race?
does anyone know if these are the same questions asked on the 1950 census?

@iammovingtomexico
race in many instances is highly correlated with socio-economic status. People in poorer neighborhoods need to be counted better so they can receive appropriate funding to help build keep roads paved etc. Those areas are the least likely to fill out the census and have expanded the most in the past 10 years since it was last conducted.
