Take Back America!

And this time it's easy - just refuse to answer the questions that are not *Constitutional whether they are asked in person or in a mail-out. Remember that in the United States, no government agent has the right to ask you anything without specific permission, such as the Constitution, a court order or a search warrant.

*They have no right to ask for your race, but I still hope all of my readers, their friends, and their families will check the "Other" box and fill in AMERICAN in the spaces provided. It's time we all stood together to stop this contrived division of our country. Most of us are immigrants or descendants of immigrants who CHOSE to become Americans.

My Race Is American

Today I got the letter from the Census Bureau that they were going to send me the actual census form next week. I really don't know which is the most stupid waste of my taxpayer money:
a) Money spent on a Superbowl Ad about the Census
b) Money spent on numerous radio ads every day about the Census
c) Money spent on a letter telling me I was going to get a letter about the Census

I believe most questions on the form are none of Big Brother's business and I plan to ignore those. But I certainly will tell them my race -- I am an American. That means when I get to the question of race, I will check "Other" then spell out AMERICAN in the little boxes. I hope you'll join me in this. We are Americans. We are not Irish-Americans, Anglo-Saxon Americans, Hispanic-Americans or African-Americans. And it galls me when they keep trying to divide us, put us in little boxes, and then treat us differently because who our daddies happened to be.

The census is supposed to count the people in each state in order apportion the number of representatives sent to Congress. Period. There is no need to entertain dawdling bureaucrats with details such as whether we have a mortgage or not.

I'm with Walter

Walter Williams' take on the upcoming census was posted on Jewish World Review last Wednesday and I agree wholeheartedly. His most important paragraph is: "What to do? Unless a census taker can show me a constitutional requirement, the only information I plan to give are the number and names of the people in my household. The census taker might say, "It's the law." Thomas Jefferson said, "Whensoever the General Government (Washington) assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force.""

Not only is Obama's census wasting money like drunken sailors and not only are they figuring out ways to cook the books to keep Democrats in office, they're trying to invade our privacy.

By What Authority?

What law authorizes the federal government to get GPS coordinates for the front door of every house in the US. Already two of my relatives, living in fairly remote small towns have been visited by agents doing just this. In view of the fact that Google already offers satellite pictures of every house on the street, why the need for GPS coordinates in addition?

The 140,000 workers hired with “stimulus” money say they are doing it in preparation for the 2010 census – to make it more accurate. In reality it does nothing of the kind, according to Douglas Gibbs, but it does make it easier to monitor citizens, if desired. When was the public debate about this? When did we come to an agreement about the need for it in spite of privacy concerns? Or are we only supposed to be concerned about privacy rights when Republicans control the White House?

The fact that ACORN is supplying and overseeing most of these workers and Rahm Emmanuel is directing the census from inside the White House does not make me feel any better about it. And I never trust government decisions/actions done in secret or in haste. Read more at this link.
