They need the information from the census to determine how many politiions we get in Washington that aren't going to pay any attention to us after they get there anyway. They should put all the political offices up for bid and the low bidder gets the contract. After 4 years, if they fulfill their contract with the people they work for, us, they get paid. Otherwise they don't get a cent and get sued for breach of contract.

3. no answer [ they don't need to know if I have a mortgage or not.]
4. no answer [ they don't need to talk to me, they aren't my friend]
5. no answer [statistics don't need a name]
6. answered correctly.
7. I put age but not birthdate [I don't think they need this info for statistics]
8. no answer
9. checked other race and put American in boxes.
10. answered correctly.
Yes I am really sending it in this way. Maybe you should too!! personally I don't like the census and we sure don't need to pay another representative in D.C. who won't represent the people. [this is 1 reason they say they want this info for.] The say your info is confidential but then they say it can be used for family history and other types of historical research. not very confidential in my eyes. so they only get the statistics.
?? I guess?? Hdg
