The Census Is Getting Personal

Uninformed Census Workers who want to post "We don't ask those questions" will be omitted from comments. You have not done your homework. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND the difference between the short and long forms watch this video:

"The Census Part 2, Clarifications"

Many people seem to miss the fact that there is a longer, more invasive form called the "American Community Survey". It is given to 3 million people by the Census Bureau EVERY YEAR. Comments like "I just filled out my form and it didn't have any of the questions you mentioned" are generally withheld from posting.

Comments will only appear after approval to keep the page civil, intelligent and relevant.

If you want the straight scoop, a great online resource of all kinds information about the Census is at: http://www.thejohnnycakefiles.com/census

Many people have requested the list below:

QUESTIONS THAT THE CENSUS BUREAU REFUSED OR FAILED TO ANSWER (from Jerry Day's Matrix News Network segment: "The Census Is Getting Personal"):

1) The Constitution authorizes government to count people but it does not authorize the taking of private information or even the names of individuals. From where does the Census Bureau derive authority to demand our private information?

2) Is there any limit to the amount and type of private information that the Census bureau may demand and collect?

3) Under what Constitutional authority does the Census Bureau collect information now from 250,000 people per month of every year?

4) The 4th Amendment to the Constitution prohibits government search and seizure of private information without a court warrant based on probable cause, Current Census policies violate that Amendment do they not?

5) By what Constitutional authority does the Census Bureau threaten penalties for failure to provide personal information?

6) The Census Bureau claims it maintains privacy of personal information, Are there any circumstances under which law enforcement or spy agencies can access Census information?

7) Since presumably Census data may be subpoenaed by law enforcement, may individuals refuse to answer questions according to the fifth Amendment?

8) Why has the Census Bureau decided to collect GPS coordinates for every home?

9) Virtually every government database has been either lost, hacked or compromised, would the Census Bureau's claim of data security not be an outright lie or at best highly improbable?

10) How would the Census Bureau locate, protect and compensate those individuals whose data becomes compromised?

There is a great deal of confusion about the Census "short form" and "Long Form" because the Census Bureau has failed to equally publicize the two current approaches. Part of the video refers to the long form called the "American Community Survey" which has 12 pages of questions, many of which are much more probing than the short form. A PDF file of the the long form can be viewed at this link: http://www.jerryday.com/images/ACS-1-Stateside-English_web.pdf

Many people who post messages in opposition to this video (meaning opposed to the Constitution) seem to think that government is some benevolent angelic nanny that only wants the best for you and I. Even in public schools you can learn differently. If you have any doubt as to the evil and corruption within government I recommend this video excerpt from Bill Moyers' 1987 PBS Documentary "The Secret Government" at:

"When they come to my door it is the Census taker who will be answering my questions"....sounds like he's advocating "shooting the messenger" and not the Census Bureau, instead of attacking the Census taker, which I think some are volunteers, why not try to inform them in an non-confrontational way.

@JuanOfaKind88 Fine, be polite all you want. Just remember it is the person at your door threatening and intimidating you while the people back at that CB are laughing at the stupidity, gullibility and desperation of the Census Worker for doing their "legwork" without even realizing what they are doing. You do the Census Worker a favor by explaining things, rude or polite.

Nov.29,2011 Congress passed the NDAA - which allows the military to arrest and permanently detain you for life under suspicion of terrorism- meaning if you talk against the govt. (freedom of speech) they can come and lock you up! Vote Ron Paul he is our only hope in restoring our constitutional rights!

I was recently sent a census clearly stating that I had to answer these questions under rule of law. I am outraged and decided to look into this today and find that my concerns are real. I should not have to submit my personal information to the government under rule of law. Like I am supposed to believe that this government doesn't share my information. Japanese American internment camps? Yeah it happened in this country. Don't think it can't happen again.

Vote for Ron Paul and he will make sure our constitution is restored! <3

[popcorncrow]

Our Gov. has trashed our Constitution....and passed laws & bills so that our Constitution is no longer valid anymore. All the people that exercise the long lost rights...though they may be right still wind up in jail... and paying lawyers... ect. The law men in enforcement... along with...even census takers...takes it as a challenge when you exercise your C. rights. We are all criminals!!! Thanks Obamma & Company.

A census taker once tried to test me; I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
