 I won't be filling out the forms. I have already tossed 2 of them in the trash.
 When they show up at my door I will.
1.) refuse to answer the door (or phone)
2.) if they do happen to catch me outside I will still refuse to answer and hand them the following.
 ITERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION verses BRIMSON, 154, US. 447, 479 (MAY 26,1894)
 "Neither branch of the legislative department (Like the house of Representatives or Senate) stell less any merely administrative body (Such as a Census Bureau) established by congress, possesses , or can be invested with, a general power of making inquiry into the private affairs of the citizen (Kilboroun veses Thompson, 103 US 168,190. We said in Boyd verses US.,116U.S.616,630, 6 Sup. Xt. 524, and it connot be too often repeated, that the priciples that embody the essence of constitutional libery and security forbid all invasions on the part of governement and it's employees of the sanctity of a man's home and the privacies of his life. As said by Mr. Justice Field in RE Pacific Ry Commission, 32 Fed. 241,250, of all the rights of the citizen few are greater importance of more essentioal to his peace and happiness than the right of personal security, and that involves , not merely protection of his person from assault, bet exemption of his private affairs, books and papers from inspection and scrutiny of others. With the enjoyment of this right, all others would lose half their value.

NOTE: This Usited States Supremee Court case has never been overturned.

Respectfully,
 A citizen of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA[/quote]First, let me note that this comment reminding that there is no [i]general[/i] right of inquiry, upheld a [i]specific[/i] right of inquiry, which is what the Census Bureau undoubtedly believes it is exercising.

Second, could I respectfully request that in the future you use cut-and-paste (or drag-and-paste) so that you avoid all those annoying typos, and that you use the customary square brackets, rather than parens, to indicate your insertions in the quote.  I don't mean to curtail your right to freedom of expression, merely to give some constructive feedback.[/quote]
