ACORN is after me regarding the census

My family got our 27? page census form. Many intrusive Q's like how many bathrooms in our house and what time to we go to work. In my continuing campain to be prisoner #1 in the gulag, I ripped off the front page and wrote the number of people living at my address and that we were all US citizens, even though they never asked in the entire booklet our citizenship. I also told them that that's all the info that Rahm and Acorn needed to know. Here's where it gets interesting. Since sending the form in, ACORN has been calling my wife's cell phone (we don't have a land line)number relentlesly, every day of the week. They always call from different area codes and leave a msg about a case number. Wow. I'm on my way.

3. WTF? I remember the 2000 census as being a fairly short form that wasn't

a big deal and census day isn't for months yet...

[sufrommich]

4. Some people get the long form census. I've always got

the short form.

9. A friend is in a census study

They track her around the country and she gets a really "intrusive" set of questions.

[sandnsea]

7. There are several different forms

Some do ask about toilets, I've had that one before. This is nothing new and these people are just too dumb to exist.

13. Short Forms vs Long Form.

Since ultra accuracy (in terms of sampling error) isn't needed for less important info (like # of bathrooms :) ) about 90% of people get short form.

The 10% who get long form are statistically random and thus are a representative sample of the United States for the more detailed stats.

5. Doesn't sound good for his wife...

That "case number" most likely refers to a death panel ruling...probably not a good one.

:rofl:

What a gem. Great find.

10. The next post: “A people unwilling to use extreme violent force to preserve or obtain their liberty

deserves the tyrants that rule them.”

The question at this point is are we actually willing to go in peace to the re-education camps, not I!"


Jeeeez! Who is selling them this BS--the gun merchants? No wonder they are so worked up. They actually believe this crap. It's great to mock them and all, but they need to hear the truth and settle down.

[unpossibles]

11. fucking dipshits

I've done that longer form and it took all of a few minutes to do.

Furthermore, why is the number of bathrooms "intrusive" anyway?

[MineralMan]

14. Why is the number of bathrooms 'intrusive?'

That's easy. If you have more than one bathroom, the government is going to rule it excessive and post a sign in front of your house saying, "Public Restroom" with an arrow pointed to your house. It's for homeless people and others who are caught short while walking on your street.

You'll also have to bring your excessive bathrooms up to full ADA standards and supply a wheelchair ramp to the nearest door. If you don't comply, you go straight to the "re-education" camps.

Just in case... :sarcasm:

12. The guy's lying. There is no long form for the census. What he may have gotten was

something called the American Community Survey, which is why he thinks it came from ACORN.

http://www.prb.org/Articles/2009/acs.aspx

The ACS is a nationwide, continuous survey designed to provide communities with reliable and timely demographic, housing, social, and economic data every year. The ACS will replace the decennial census long form in 2010 and thereafter by collecting long-form-type information throughout the decade rather than only once every 10 years.

http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downloads/SQuest09.pdf

This is the survery and it does ask about citizenship of the first 5 people listed at the address: Question 8 on page 8.

[havocmom]

18. Having worked for the Census in the past, I disagree. There ARE two forms

and the selection for the long form is random, not made by anyone, but rather by chance.

[sinkingfeeling]

20. Then you haven't read the Census Bureau's annoucement that there will be no long form in 2010.

In the past, there were two forms.

http://2010.census.gov/2010census/about_2010_census/007622.html

The Census Bureau has changed the way it conducts the national count.

Goodbye Long Form

In the past, most households received a short-form questionnaire, while one household in six received a long form that contained additional questions and provided more detailed socioeconomic information about the population.

The 2010 Census will be a short-form only census and will count all residents living in the United States as well as ask for name, sex, age, date of birth, race, ethnicity, relationship and housing tenure – taking just minutes to complete.

The more detailed socioeconomic information is now collected through the American Community Survey. The survey provides current data about your community every year, rather than once every 10 years. It is sent to a small percentage of the population on a rotating basis throughout the decade. No household will receive the survey more often than once every five years.

A similar survey, the Puerto Rico Community Survey is conducted in Puerto Rico.

16. This sounds more like a homeowner's policy questionaire

like I used to have to fill out for new customers to figure the real worth of their homes...

[csziggy]

17. Are the census forms even being sent out yet? I thought they are to be sent in 2010?

When
Every 10 years
Every 10 years, and the next census occurs in 2010. Census questionnaires will be mailed or delivered to every household in the United States in March 2010. The questions ask you to provide information that is accurate for your household as of April 1, 2010.

19. Sounds like the Census Bureau's American Community Survey questionnaire. Sample here:

It IS a bit much, IMHO:
