I mean really, if you are not a fugitive, criminal or engaged in criminal activities, what difference does it make if the federal government knows, your age, race, home address and how many people live in your home, your marital status, your socioeconomic status, your level of education etc? Really people, what are you hiding?<br /><br />The law of the land not only ALLOWS the census, but REQUIRES it. They can't use info from tax filings to allocate funds or political seats. It MUST be the census. Do you really want your community losing out on funding or political votes?Veronicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12690400675276722040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204928643804598043.post-75768389592521099272010-03-09T07:56:35.895-08:002010-03-09T07:56:35.895-08:00You've got an award over at my blog today!You've got an award over at my blog today!McValhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00285808958951068897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204928643804598043.post-4183952724667942092010-03-09T06:35:03.832-08:002010-03-09T06:35:03.832-08:00I completely agree with you!
