[quote=Anonymous]Database marketers DO NOT bang your down door, day in, day out, hour after hour, even up into late evening hours to get you to answer their surveys. They DO NOT use coercion by threatening you with fines/penalties up to $5000 and imprisonment if you choose to opt out of their surveys either - However, the American Community Survey (ACS) being a corrupted branch of the Census Bureau as it is does. It doesn't matter if you respond to the ACS questionnaire or not since they will still send out census takers (more like ex-ACORN workers), using their high handed, thug-like tactics in collecting this information from you. This is a clear case of a tyrannical government gone amok. If you're fine giving up your basic civil liberties to this branch of the census, then by all means, do it! I do not perceive those personal questions being asked of me on the ACS questionnaire as being akin to child's play...I see the ACS, a branch of the census as stripping me of my right to keep my personal information private and for me that is a very BIG DEAL! Again, I repeat as stated earlier on this forum...I will participate in the 10-year census survey being it is a short form and limiting my answers to only enumeration questions. It does not demand I answer the types of intrusive personal questions as ACS does on its questionnaire. See a rough draft of ACS questions shown below. Thankfully, there are still some Americans out there who value their freedom and recognize that it is time to stand up and fight back using whatever peaceful, nonviolent means are available to them by NOT responding to the ACS questionnaire. To date, there hasn't been a fine or imprisonment placed against anyone for not responding to this UN-AMERICAN survey. For those of you on this forum who continues to state the survey answers are needed to effectively distribute census data to those benefits and programs to where they are needed most then go ahead and respond to it BUT stop with the name calling tactics on those who oppose the survey and are willing to defend their right to privacy regarding census questions in which can, and cannot legally be asked of U.S. citizens. If the ACS wants to continue collecting information in helping the government ration out allotted funds in those areas of highest needs then it can start out by making its survey VOLUNTARY to being MANDATORY as it currently stands. It's that simple! For those of you who need to be reminded of what the U.S. Constitution really demands of us in regards to responding to a census survey, watch and listen to a video on this topic found at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsDhkPym01k For those of you who still think the American Community Survey (a branch of the Census Bureau) is the decennial census short form being sent out every 10 years, I urge you to educate yourself by listening to the following video on this topic at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFvS5m4_OtA&feature=related I urge everyone who values their freedom to contact their congressional leaders immediately by calling the U.S. Capitol switchboard and demand they pass Bill H.R. 3131 into law. The bill has already been introduced in Congress and now is in the hands of several subcommittees. Once it becomes law, the ACS survey would then become VOLUNTARY to being MANDATORY as it is now with the exception of asking a few certain questions. For tracking Bill H.R. 3131 to: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-3131 I found this article of interest in to where our current administration is using GPS markings at every front door in America in such a short time. So...Let's see if I have this right. They are not using the census as a political weapon then, right? For info on this topic, go to: Google: http://www.infowars.com/obama-and-acorn-gps-marking-every-front-door-in-america/ A[b]merican Community Survey Questionnaire, Revealed[/b] Here is a rough copy of the American Community Survey questionnaire.
