Bureau gearing up for '10 Census

You should have covered (or cover in a future article) the number of questions being asked, some of which will be VERY detailed, like concerning how many toilets in your house, bedrooms, etc, etc.

That if you don't answer such questions, there will be fine.

The counting "requirement" has now become a way to tally people AND their possession.

Many liberty-minded Americans answer just the constitutionally-authorized head count question in the census, and leave the rest of the questions blank.

And some other Americans don't incriminate themselves at all by boycotting the census completely.

Google "census resistance" and you'll see that those who refuse to comply with the census -- which has its origin in imposing taxes -- rarely face a punishment.

Many states have more representation than they deserve due to their illegal alien population. Utah was cheated out of another congressional seat in 2000 because states like California had 2.3 million while Utah at the time had an estimated 64,000. The 2.3 additional residents of CA gave them three extra seats in congress. The only real purpose of the census is the constitutional requirement needed to set the representation in the U.S House of Representatives, not a marketing tool for businesses and government. Why are illegal aliens counted?

You might want to ask your State representative energy conservation? How much gas, oil and electricity we could save, if we sent illegal aliens packing.
We cannot keep up the demand for it right now! Oil! Diversity Alliance for Sustainable America.(earthtimes) stated in it's article that if the U.S. grants amnesty and gives citizenship to 12 to 30 million illegal migrants already here, as McCain, Obama and the majority of Democrats propose. That all those naturalized citizens could possibly add 120 million U.S. and foreign-born relatives to the U.S., in the next 20 years whom all will CONSUME MAJOR ENERGY. Does the American people need to escalate the 315 million plus population, the census estimates we have now? To a new total of 435 million?

The executive director of (DASA) admitted "Proposal to reduce energy costs in the U.S. will not work unless we also simultaneously curb U.S. population growth by reducing immigration and curbing teen pregnancies."

The Save Act (H.R.5088) is an enforcement federal bill only, to start the EXODUS of foreign nationals illegally in AMERICA. NUMBERSUSA has all the unsuppressed facts

that's why dems encourage illegal immigration, so they can expand their power base. Of course, repubs encourage it so they can exploit cheap labor.

I hope they do better than last time. My family was of 8 were never contacted in the last census although we have lived in the same city for 30 years.
