Not signing Census illegal?

[Dana]

I don't have proof but I have it on good ground that someone got a message in the mail saying that not signing your census was illegal and you could be fined 5,000 dollars...

1. How are they going to know? It was sent as "junkmail" with no unique addressee on the front...
2. How are we supposed to pay them back with the money we don't have? (cmon... im sure more than a few didn't sign it)...

If I recall, there wasn't any place to sign on the census.

However, it states on the cover of the form failure to complete it is a violation of the law.

the census is 10 questions long and is the US Constitution.
stop bitching and fill the fucking thing out

I don't know if it's illegal or not. I sent mine in last week and today I got a reminder notice from the Census Buero...I'm sure they'll get it eventually. You know the Census helps with programs in everyones area like housing and such. You should really think about filling it out. It only took me but a few minutes of my time. Had nothing better to do anyway.:nod:

What a waste of good paper. Did you at least recycle it?

 

[Boomerang]

Filling it out helps for school funding too!

It would have taken you less than a minute to fill it out!

If Maine has less electoral votes come next election, I'll know why. :ninja

They sent it to a specific address. Specific addresses have specific owners. Specific owners know who's living in their houses, even if it's a rental.

If you turn yourself in quickly I'm sure they'll go easy on you. :ninja

It being mandatory is BS... they address it to Resident. It looks like junk mail. They can't hold you to it. do you think these fools living in Project Housing give a fuck about the Census?

Hmmm, if you were able to read that it was addressed to resident, then I'm pretty sure you were able to read

Census workers WILL be coming to your house. No address is left unaccounted for.
