You people need to start reading the Constitution. You do not have to tell any more than the number of people living in the house. That’s all the law requires! WAKE UP people, don’t you see the government is breaking the law by trying to make people answer anything else?

You all declaring what she is doing is illegal should try and read the Constitution sometime. The only question they are Constitutionally allowed to ask is the number of people living in the household. Thats it. The census is for enumeration for determining the number of Representatives and thats it. They are not legally allowed to ask you what race you are, what religion, your name, your age, your sex, do you rent or own, etc. Nothing other than enumeration is allowed by the Constitution. If this is brought to court I can assure you, it will be declared unconstitutional at the Supreme Court level, if it makes it that far.

The census is to get a ‘count’ of the population of the United States. That’s it, nothing more, nothing less.
I will not tell them anything else, besides, the government already knows how much I make, what race I am, and everything else about me.

Good for her! Those of you who are responding negatively are morons and puppets who have the government hand up your butt! I don’t know anything else about this woman and could care less – but she’s right about census. All this B.S. about why the questions are needed for programs are bull! This information is sold to same idiots who send a bunch of junk mail to your home and make all those unsolicited calls to everybody regardless of whether or not you ever asked for information or whether or not you inform them you are on the Do Not Call list!! That’s why they try to throw questions in like about toilets in there hoping you won’t notice. There should be no questions asked – all they need to do is have the same Census employee that’s coming to your home anyways asking how many in your household, noting that and that’s it!!!! As she said in the article – the constitution does not require anything else beyond that because that alone takes care of the states representation – period!!! All the other information that they try to b.s. you with s.a. this is important for V.A. benefits or Senior benefits is bogus – do those individuals fill out any less forms or wait any less and get things handed to them easily when it’s time to collect – HELL NO!!! This is only used to get more personal information to SELL! They are too invasive – when they get to Nosey – it’s time to START ALL OVER AGAIN. Our forefathers did! Write your representatives and tell them to end the Census questions NOW!!!!!

Have any of you seen the “long form?” We have, twice, and have deposited it in the trash. I would like to know why ANYONE needs to know how many toilets I have in my home, what time my husband LEAVES the house for work everyday and countless other personal, CONFIDENTIAL questions. The Census and anyone else involved in sending this out are daft to think I am going to tell complete strangers this information. They tell me the are required by law to keep it private. How foolish do they think we are? I applaud this Reps courage to call this Census what it is, overreaching and unnecessary. Tell ‘em how many people are in your home. That is all the Constitution requires and all that is needed to figure out districts and Representatives. THROW IT OUT!!!! And write your SEnator and tell them what you think…

Politifact’s Truth-o-meter dismisses Congresswoman Bachmann’s ACORN claims awarding her claim as “Pants on Fire” wrong.

I don’t remember Bachmann whining about the census when it happened during Bush’s presidency so why is she whining about it now? Secondly this is the same dingbat who voted for the Patriot Act. Talk about contradicting herself. Hey Michele! You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

[...] According to the Minnesota Independent, “Rep. Michele Bachmann told the Washington Times on Wednesday that she will not be filling out all the questions on next year’s census because ACORN will be one of the federal government’s many community partners for conducting the census. But what she is proposing to do is illegal, the Times reports. [...]
