They need the coordinates so they can send a small missle through your front door.
The census lady pulled in my drive while I was outside. When she said she needed to go onto my porch to "put me on the map", I told her she didn't need to go onto my porch. She said thats what shes getting paid for, so I replied a little more firmly "you don't need to go onto my porch", so she paused & said "I can do it from here" & left.
No spooks have shown up yet...

Then I suppose the following means I can't throw ACORN off my property if they show up at my house with CENSUS questions, DAMN IT!
That would be soooo much fun too!
But not worth the $500.00 fine!

§ 223. Refusal, by owners, proprietors, etc., to assist census employees
Whoever, being the owner, proprietor, manager, superintendent, or agent of any hotel, apartment house, boarding or lodging house, tenement, or other building, refuses or willfully neglects, when requested by the Secretary or by any other officer or employee of the Department of Commerce or bureau or agency thereof, acting under the instructions of the Secretary, to furnish the names of the occupants of such premises, or to give free ingress thereto and egress therefrom to any duly accredited representative of such Department or bureau or agency thereof, so as to permit the collection of statistics with respect to any census provided for in subchapters I and II of chapter 5 of this title, or any survey authorized by subchapter IV or V of such chapter insofar as such survey relates to any of the subjects for which censuses are provided by such subchapters I and II, including, when relevant to the census or survey being taken or made, the proper and correct enumeration of all persons having their usual place of abode in such premises, shall be fined not more than $500.
Just give them a number. That's all you're required to do by law.Google earth... of course when you get off "the paved roads" my GPS and google earth are useless...
Read into it what you will, but I'm more concerned with the out of line questioning they do rather than the gps units.
So... for all those folks so busy wetting your panties about the Census, I've got a question for you. Why are you so adamant about supporting one part of the Constitution, while at the same time being so fearful of another?
Just give them a number. That's all you're required to do by law.
The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct.
-US Constitution, Article I, section 2.
Nobody seems to have a problem with what is authorized by the constitution. What we have a problem with is anything above or beyond the actual enumeration. Go ahead and ask all the questions you want, but don't pretend anything beyond a number is constitutional.
Go change your own panties before giving us grief over refusing unconstitutional requests.
It never ceases to amaze me that when a person has a few dollars added to his/her hand how their political beliefs seem to waiver
It never ceases to amaze me that some people TALK a good game about the Constitution, but when a part of it pops up they don't like they are willing to turn traitor.
My beliefs haven't waivered. I support and defend the Constititution. I'm no fair weather friend, unlike some of the people on this thread.
Maybe you can come up with some convoluted interpretation that shows us how requiring or taking anything other than a number is constitutional. I'd welcome that.
Until then, the answers on my census form will look something like:
5.
Declined to respond.
Nunya.
Doesn't have to be convoluted reasoning. It merely requires the ability to read the English language you know, the part about conducting the Census in accordance with rules established by Congress.

The law requires that a number be provided and nothing else. What evidence do you have to the contrary?
...
Hmmm...after calling everyone a traitor who wishes to keep the gov't within the confines of the constitution as it pertains to enumeration, when called on it, you disappear.
Awful strong language for someone with nothing to back up those words. I guess your credibility (or lack thereof) means nothing to you?
Actually, I tried to just walk away from you people, instead of continuing to wrestle with pigs.
Frankly, you have no room to whine about my responses, including calling you panty waists on your weak support for the Constitution, not after callign me a sellout. Your attempt to do so is nothing more than crocodile tears.
I'm tired of mincing words. The facts are, anybody who continues insisting that the Census is operating outside the bounds of the Constitution either hasn't actually read the document, is a moron who is unable to comprehend operating under rules established by Congress, or just a rabble rouser trying to undermine the US government. Further, your claim that I've "disappeared," is blatantly untrue, seeing as how I've been posting in other threads. I just lost interest in dealing with you idjits.
Now, why don't ya'll join your buddy and go find some women to bully.
