Ron Paul voted no.

Quote:

A bit of history here: The first decennial census was taken in 1790 and two rounds later, in 1810, the government began collecting information beyond a simple headcount. At that time, residents answered questions regarding housing conditions, schools, achievement of students and the economy, among other things. The president in 1810: James Madison, “Father of the Constitution.”

"Hey, James Madison started it, and he's the father of the Constitution. Why would Ron Paul vote against that?"

I guess they forget the Alien and Sedition Acts.

Also, 20 Republicans abstained from voting. You have to wonder why they didn't also vote no.
