		<description>Good for her!  Those of you who are responding negatively are morons and puppets who have the government hand up your butt!   I don&#039;t know anything else about this woman and could care less - but she&#039;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&#039;s why they try to throw questions in like about toilets in there hoping you won&#039;t notice. There should be no questions asked - all they need to do is have the same Census employee that&#039;s coming to your home anyways asking how many in your household, noting that and that&#039;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&#039;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&#039;s time to START ALL OVER AGAIN.  Our forefathers did!  Write your representatives and tell them to end the Census questions NOW!!!!!</description>

		<description>Have any of you seen the &quot;long form?&quot;   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 &#039;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...</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t remember Bachmann whining about the census when it happened during Bush&#039;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&#039;t have your cake and eat it too.</description>

		<description>[...] 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. [...]</description>

		<description>Seems most people that say you have to fill out the census are working for the Government in some way. First off there is no need for anything other then a head count the rest of the info obtained is purely for political reasons mostly for whomever is in power to redistrict. To say that no-one else gets this information is a complete and TOTAL LIE. 

  Whitepages uses census info to make up there site you MORNS


Bachmann has it right and to bad all you obamasheep are being led to slaughter and don&#039;t even know it

I didn&#039;t fill out the last one and I WILL NOT FILL OUT THIS ONE</description>

BHO is breaking the law every day and making up his own if he thinks he needs to.She is right,what the hell right does anyone have to know if i piss in a toilet.If i asked my neighbor this crap i’d probably get hit but i am supposed to give it to uncle fed?Bullshit

“See how easy that is? She can be gotten rid of in no time. She and her family will then be able to be considered illegal aliens and deported. Since we’re not sure wich country to send her to, she can be assigned to be the caretaker at Gitmo after it’s closed.”

It’s really going to come down to that isn’t it.Geuss you chose your master,do you really think you can handle serving it?&quot;


Have a clue, you people need to mature and be concerned with the real issues at hand. The census information is vital and what makes our Gov&#039;t unique in the world. We all might not agree with the current party in power, but that is the joy of our system we will have another election and we can change what we don&#039;t like.

By not participating in the Census you not only leave out vital information that is used to discern the distribution of federal tax dollars, it also provides the information used to determine how we are represented in Gov&#039;t. But from the sounds of you morons maybe you should pack your bags and head for somewhere where you &quot;don&#039;t&quot; have to provide information to the Government so they can find out how best use tax revenues to provide services. I think they are accepting relocation Visa&#039;s in Tehran!  Good Luck and Good Bye! Oh Yeah and stop by and pick up the Bachmann family on the way out!</description>
