[quote=Anonymous]It is not your right. It is your constitutional obligation to fill it out. You have practically no direct responsibilities in this country of ours. This is practically the only one enumerated that specifically covers you. You wag on about your fourth and fifth amendment rights. It's all nonsense. The fourth and fifth amendment did not nullify your obligation to do your duty under Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution. This has been tested time and time again in the courts, and the courts have not agreed with you. You use words like Tyranny. Yet our founding fathers, who knew what tyranny really was, wrote this Constitution AND conducted a census every ten years afterward. You call this a Democratic issue. Yet Republican administrations have been conducting the same census, with largely the same questions. So even your own party doesn't agree with you. Bush didn't stop the ACS. Reagan didn't stop it. For didn't stop it. Nixon didn't stop it. What the hell right have you to call this a Democratic issue. I don't need mainstream media to answer these questions, nor do you. Read the case law. It is clear. Stop being a wuss and do your duty. PP here - As stated previously in this forum, I do not have any problem in filling in and returning the decennial census that appears once every 10 years at my door. I have and will continue to answer only those questions pertaining to enumeration purposes on that particular survey since constitutional law requires that I do so - All other questions will be left unanswered on this survey. About your comment on my inciting use of fourth and fifth amendment rights regarding my failing to respond to the ACS questionnaire being all nonsense. Let’s see here...No where in the constitution does it authorize government to penalize me for not giving them my private information. In fact, the constitution make a special point to prohibit the government from taking my private information stated in the fourth and fifth amendments. Under U.S. Code Title 13, it calls for penalties for failing to respond to the 10-year census form. It states Congress may conduct enumeration in such manner as they shall by LAW direct. I am no attorney but am pretty sure it doesn’t mean Congress can do anything they want even if the constitution doesn’t authorize it. That would be absurd if they did! If that were true then there would be no need for a constitution, right? In constitutional language, the word LAW does not mean STATUTE - It refers to only constitutional law. Title 13 is a Statute. The constitution does not say Congress may enumerate in such a manner as they shall by STATUTE direct - It says by LAW direct. That wording means any statute such as Title 13 and Title 18 must be within and limited to the provisions of the constitution. They have been pushing the ACS questionnaire on U.S. citizens for how many years now??? Why do you think the census does not prosecute those who refuse to respond to the ACS questionnaire? If they did go forth in prosecuting any one over this insane ACS survey then that would open the door for Title 13 and Title 18 to be challenged in a court of law. I know of a few good constitution law attorneys who would welcome the challenge should the occasion arise! Regarding your comment on what the hell right do I have calling this a democratic issue...Yes, it’s true to where both the democratic and republican congressional leaders gave the Commerce/Census Department the authority to go with asking American Citizens all those intrusive personal questions on the ACS questionnaire and using the data for their own greedy purposes BUT its been recently documented that the RNC is in full support of having Bill H.R. 3131 be passed into law making ACS voluntary. My guess is, the republican party will back this bill. FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 2010 RNC PASSES RESOLUTION ADDRESSING U.S. CENSUS CONCERNS The Republican National Committee passed the following resolution at their Summer 2010 meeting: RESOLUTION CONCERNING THE AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2...d834515c5469e201348632c077970c RESOLVED, that upon the approval of this resolution the Republican National Committee shall deliver a copy of this resolution to each of the Republican members of Congress, all Republican candidates for Congress, and to each Republican state and territorial party office. As approved by the Republican National Committee, August 6, 2010 As I said before on this forum, if the DNC would get on board as the RNC had recently done then Bill H.R. 3131 may have a good chance of getting passed into law. Oh, and about your comment on me being a republican...Nope, I’m a democrat here and am no supporter of G.W. either. You don’t have to be a republican or tea party supporter to see how the ACS has overstepped its bounds in stripping U.S. Citizens of their right to keep their personal information private. This is an AMERICAN issue! Am I pleased with the democratic party as it stands today? No, I am not! AND about your comment regarding me being a wuss and just do my duty - YOU WISH! [/quote]
