3. Heard the other day that Teabagger types and other Bachmann
groupies are not returning theirs. Stupid is as stupid does. This should have some effect on redistricting too.

24. No such luck. Census will send people to the house and
estimate if necessary.

41. yes they will.
I worked for the last census and that is what I did. You were required to map neighborhoods and do a lot of door knocking.
That form was a lot longer than what I filled out and mailed last week.

5. thanks for starting this poll
I think of my show's listeners I have had only one that said he was not going to do so. I was surprised since he is normally very liberal on issues, but he is resolute in this for some reason.

6. I got the postcard that says, "We sent you the census form," but haven't gotten the census form.
I've got a census office a few miles away right in town, and will go get another form, and a vitamin shot so The Visitors can track me.

25. Anna TOTALLY would have chosen me last night!
And I woulda lasted waaaaay longer than that fail guy.

Gotta admit though that that post-coital glow with her ain't really all it's cracked up to be.

7. No. I have not received
a form because I get my mail at a drop box. I cannot request a form until after 12 Apr. The website does not point me to a POC for getting a form now.

I am getting nervous about this because if I don't get it ASAP, I will be traveling when they send the people out to the houses in May.

44. It'd be interesting to see if they actually...
...attempt to send anyone to my house. (Up in the mountains, eight miles from the nearest paved road or mailbox. Have to get my mail in a town nearly 20 miles away.) I guess I'll find out since as of yesterday I haven't gotten my form. I'll be impressed if they DO make it up the mountain! :)

21. Sure, I did. If nothing else, to avoid them coming to the house.
Don't we save money by not having a physical census taker approach you?

27. I did. And as long as ...
the check seekers in my neighborhood did not rip it off from my mailbox, I'm in good shape. If they did, I guess I'll find out sooner rather than later.

29. missed an option -- my not doing it means someone has a job finding us
So therefore I'm being a GOOD NEIGHBOR to my unemployed neighbors who hope to get something with the census to keep their houses.

38. who are you asking the question?
If you are referring to my topic I started then I have to respond that I didn't refer to anyone at all. If my post in this topic, then it was a reference to a listener of my radio show who is not a member here as far as I know and I stated he was a listener of my show. So if you are asking me, then there is your answer, if not asking me then disregard this.

39. Nah - the worrywart is concerned about my last option....
Where I used post #6 as a template for the "ain't got mah formz yet!" possibility, in a completely friendly way.

He or she is just looking to manufacture outrage for no particularly good reason.

42. Some guy delivered it weeks ago but it asked for info based on who was
living here on April 1st so I didn't finish it yet. Have adult kids in the vicinity - they come and go:rofl: :patriot:

Recently moved? Living "off the grid"? Something else?

52. I expect that in my case...
...it's the fact that I don't have mail delivery. So if they sent it to my (so-called) street address it wouldn't get delivered. I do have a PO box, but I don't seem to get any mail addressed to my street address. :shrug:

I doubt that mine is a common problem, though.

51. Give me a break. I just got home yesterday...
Sending it in tomorrow. I had the pleasure of hearing that 3 of my rw coworkers were following Bachman's advice and either not sending them back or not filling them out. I had to smile at that.

53. Yes and no.
We got the regular census form a few weeks ago and sent it back- filled out of course- the next day.

We got the long form today and will likely send it off tomorrow, depending on how far I get through it in the morning. The long form is reallllly long.
