Community Survey from Census Bureau

Has anyone received one of these, response is required by law?

The only thing that is required by the Constitution is how many people reside in your residence. That's it.

We received one of these several months ago and only filled out the info that is required by the regular census. A little while later, some creep (probably an Acorn worker) called trying to get me to answer all of the rest of the info by phone. I refused and he promised that someone would be calling back until some point in the future when they would put me in some special category. I haven't heard back for several months now.

I can only assume that this might be a good way to get reservations at Camp FEMA.

The Constitution is the link.

Isn't that pretty much useless now because they capped the house?
