$5000 fine for not filling out census form?


This is an e-mail I received from a Ludington (MI) Tea Party leader. (http://www.teapartyofwmi.org/group/ludingtonteaparty)
Read it and thank God for Rod and all the tea party patriots.
And be very worried about where our country is headed!

"I would like to thank Bob, a LTP member, for questioning a recently e-mailed video about the Census as misleading. I’m sure that we’ve all heard about the short form and then a longer form with questions that we may receive. I have attached the PDF form copied from http://2010.census.gov/partners/pdf/ConstituentFAQ.pdf explaining what we can expect.

While it is true that the Decennial Census Program is only a 10-question form required to be filled out by every household, the separate American Community Survey also requires completion if you receive it. Failure to file one or both of these forms this year is subject to a $5,000 fine according to the way I read the attached 2010 Census Constituent FAQ.

I also find it rather odd that your phone number is one of the ten questions. Since when is it the government’s business to have this when in the past it wasn’t collected, and for many people their number isn’t published? Again as a genealogist, I see little use decades or centuries from now to have this information and would rather that data more uniform be obtained as was asked in previous census surveys."

You're a fucking idiot. No one is going to be fined $5,000 for not filling out the census. The fines are usually $100 or $500, and I'll bet you can't tell me the last time someone was actually fined for not filling it out because it never happens. Plus the wording in the pdf you linked to says "up to $5,000." Do you know what "up to" means?

You have the Internet--why don't you use it to do some research. Get a clue, you fucking hillbilly.

Read This PROOF OF $5,000.00 FINE!!

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Bachmann may be in trouble if she fails to fill out the entire census. Spokeswoman Shelly Lowe told the Washington Times that anyone over the age of 18 must fill out all the questions and any such person who refuses to answer "any of the questions" faces a $5,000 fine.
