I received the American Community Survey Office "Census 2012" last month. They mailed it to me twice and I threw them both away. Then they started calling me. (Obviously some other agency gave them my phone number because I never gave it to them.)

I did not even read all the questions. Just scanning the first page of questions I thought them incredibly invasive -- ESPECIALLY during this day and age of identity theft...!!! In fact, I had myself convinced it was some very professional crooks that were doing a huge scam, because I had never heard of the "test market" thing they are doing now.

Three different agents called me and I told each of them I was not going to answer all those personal questions. I told them the number of people in my household, that I was over 18 and that I was female. I'm sure they have my name although I did not give it to them.

What do they get off on putting all of my (and your) information in some central database somewhere? I find this OUTRAGEOUS.

I have been informed by a friend who used to work for the Census test markets in 2005 that I WILL be arrested. I don't know if someone is bluffing him or what, but I feel it is my duty to stand up to them and just say no.

However, they don't take no for an answer. They just keep calling. I don't answer my phone anymore. I am making sure a lot of people know about me. I know that some people think this is no big deal. They have been successfully PROGRAMMED to feel that the State should be allowed intimately into  their private lives.

I however was brought up to relish and love the freedoms of my country and I refuse to act like anything but a free American. I was born an American and I have no intention of dying as the servant of a fascist dictatorship that tries to legislate every nook and cranny of my life. I am not breaking any laws. The government is invading my privacy. I wonder how many people today even know what privacy is anymore? How many people care? I do not know the answer to that question. I can only speak for myself. I do care, and I care enough to lose ALL my privacy (with arrest, should it happen) as a service to my fellow countrymen.
