All this news surrounding the census is making me crazy, since they are now saying that they must be mailed back by next Thursday at the latest.
How many of you have received one? I've been watching for it and still have not received it yet! :rolleyes:
I got mine about two weeks ago...and the frustrating thing for me was, about three days before I received it, they sent me a letter saying I was going to recieve a form....NOW, THAT is about as wasteful as they come....and our gov spending our money as wisely as ever...
another point that kind of sticks in my crawl....they want to know WHAT nationality or race I belong too...and I think that is an obnoixous question.........this should NOT have anything to do with what race you are....either you are an American or you are not....and this is supposed to be for all Americans...a simple count on the American population.
Yeah I've heard all of that controversy surrounding race, especially lately. I just don't understand how they are going to count my home unless we get a form??? Still have not received anything from them at all. . .
Makes me wonder how "accurate" this thing is really going to be anyway!
I got mine but my daughter didn't even though she got her letter saying she was going to be getting her form the same day I got mine. I did, thankfully, get the short form.
I've recieved mine. Although I have the long form :mad:
I don't really have a problem w/the process. Why would race be a concern? Aren't the figures used for marketing emographics and such? Although like PH, I'd question how accurate the process is.
We received ours while were were gone on vacation. We have the short form, too. What questions are on the long form this year?

No. . . this is
absolutely an exercise in futility to say the least. Indiana is doing nothing but wasting taxpayer dollars to once again jump onto the "me too" bandwagon of sour grapes. :rant:

no, there is a REAL and SERIOUS difference of Opinions on this subject.....and it is doing what the people WANT them to do....and that is make sure that we are not getting a royal screwing by our government....because MOST folks are NOT too happy right now....and are not willing to sit back and just accept what has happened without a fight....this whole process was handled WRONG...they did too much sneaking and backroom dealings, then SHOVED it through...it is wrong, wrong, wrong...despite what type of sugar coating those on the left are trying to put on it....even many of them felt it was wrong....transparancy my arse!! :rant:
Well, they can take my share from that pool of backers then. . . I don't want one red cent of my taxes going toward such a stupid endeavor. . .

I didn't want one red cent going to the latest HC Bill either, but that didn't hold much water......get in line.

Henry and "ME" such loving, kind, warm hearted, charitable people. The people who you want to cover your back, if you got down and out. People who would give you a drink a water to quench your thirst, if the had some free water. To hand you a quarter to use in a pay toilet, that you really needed it. God's people, the salt of the earth. God bless. Sorry, Troll just lost control. Sorry, but it will probably will happen again. :yes: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :yes:

Your form should have arrived by mid-March. If not, call the Telephone Questionnaire Assistance Center at 1-866-872-6868, from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week through the end of July.
The above appears within an article on the Census at CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/04/01/census.day/index.html?hpt=C1 (http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/04/01/census.day/index.html?hpt=C1)
I don't see why I should spend one second of my time calling the idiots who forgot to mail me my census form in the first place! :rolleyes:
So the government will be sure to send all that entitlement money to the right place.

Which also will benefit me in no way shape or form for the most part.
I think I am simply going to put...American in the box where it asks what nationality/race you belong too....

I made sure they knew that most of my ancestors were here before Christopher baby-love Columbus got here.
Then sent it back, promptly.

Yeah, mine too. I wonder if they could give me diplomatic immunity on my reservation and let me run my own house of gambling? :wink:

Wish I had thought of that. :biggrin:
I absolutely thrill to death that they ain't sending in the Census Forms. It's the Red states. It's the Republicans that ain't sending them in, less their votes are going to count. Duh, Duh, Duh and for the Teaparty,their going to dilute the Republican vote. Somebody say Amen.
The Troll :biggrin: :biggrin: :laugh:
They didn't even send me one! :rant:
And I'm not calling them either. Guess that means they'll be sending a troll to my door. . .
