2010 Census Form

[Ranger353]

I put other in the race form and penciled in "AMERICAN"


they create their own racist bullshit when they ask what the background is. it should either be american or illegal immigrant or maybe immigrant on a green card or visa. other than that it just helps create the mindset for racism.

+1 Same here.

So I sent my census form back Tuesday of last week, but yesterday received a little note card telling me that I'm legally obligated to send the form back in. Did anyone else get this little reminder?

[Mtn.man]

No but where it said Race I put "Yes"

I just mailed mine in too.
The only thing I filled in was "4" as per the US Constitution.

To Whom it May Concern,
Pursuant to Article I, Section 2, Clause 3 of the Constitution, the only information you are empowered to request is the total number of occupants at this address. My “name, sex, age, date of birth, race, ethnicity, telephone number, relationship and housing tenure” have absolutely nothing to do with apportioning direct taxes or determining the number of representatives in the House of Representatives. Therefore, neither Congress nor the Census Bureau have the constitutional authority to make that information request a component of the enumeration outlined in Article I, Section 2, Clause 3. In addition, I cannot be subject to a fine for basing my conduct on the Constitution because that document trumps laws passed by Congress.
Interstate Commerce Commission v. Brimson, 154 U.S. 447, 479 (May 26, 1894)
“Neither branch of the legislative department [House of Representatives or Senate], still less any merely administrative body [such as the Census Bureau], established by congress, possesses, or can be invested with, a general power of making inquiry into the private affairs of the citizen. Kilbourn v. Thompson, 103 U.S. 168, 190. We said in Boyd v. U.S., 116 U. S. 616, 630, 6 Sup. Ct. 524,―and it cannot be too often repeated,―that the principles that embody the essence of constitutional liberty and security forbid all invasions on the part of government 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 of greater importance or more essential to his peace and happiness than the right of personal security, and that involves, not merely protection of his person from assault, but exemption of his private affairs, books, and papers from inspection and scrutiny of others. Without the enjoyment of this right, all others would lose half their value.’”
Note: This United States Supreme Court case has never been overturned.
Respectfully,
A Citizen of the United States of America

Yes - I haven't sent mine back yet... I am debating just putting the number of people in the household.

[Mtn.man]

So anyone think the Census Police will come to our doors for adding remarks, and having fun with the "Legal Document"?

[StagLefty]

No but where it said Race I put "Yes"

I wanted to put "too old,walk only"
