Something about this just does not sit right with me, so to speak. Yeh, yeh..on with the conspiracies. Whatev!

Think about a few points, though. For the first time ever, they are plotting everyone's residence into a GPS traction system. Why? I have some theories & I'm sure you can think of some yourself. Either legitimate or not so much.

Also...

[QUOTE]The U.S. Census Bureau has created a Census in Schools program called 2010 Census: It's About Us. The program will provide educators with resources to teach the nation's students about the importance of the census so children can help deliver this message to their families. [U]The program will engage America's youth to help ensure every child and every household member is counted in 2010[/U].[/QUOTE]

I'm so happy the govt. is using the children for accuracy! :what

Did you know?...

[QUOTE] [B]Do I have to talk to the census taker?[/B]

Yes. [U]Your participation in the 2010 Census is vital and required by law, ([URL="http://javascript:void(0);"]Section 221, of Title 13 of the U.S. Code[/URL]). However, rather than rely on criminal charges[/U], the Census Bureau is very successful in getting participation by explaining the importance of the questions we ask and how the information benefits our communities. [LIST] []The Census Bureau provides the census taker with a binder containing all of the addresses that didn't send back a filled out census form []The census taker then visits all of those addresses and records the answers to the questions on the form []If no one answers at a particular residence, a census taker will visit that home up to three times, each time leaving a door hanger featuring a phone number; residents can call the number on the hanger to schedule the visit. [/LIST][/QUOTE] [LIST] [][URL]http://2010.census.gov/2010census/how/census-taker.php[/URL] [/LIST]So, if I do not fill out & send in the Census form & just happen to not be home during any of the three times the Census taker visits, I go to jail &/or face criminal prosecution? Sweet! I love my freedom!

Re: 2010 Census

If one survey every ten years is too restrictive on your privacy to live in a free country, maybe you should try another.

Actually, we're all traceable via cellphones. Also, all new passports are chipped & many states are chipping drivers licenses now.
