Take the first question on the form as an example: “How many people were living or staying in this house, apartment, or mobile home on April 1, 2010?”
The Census Bureau recognizes that people move around, babies are born and, sadly, people die. When answering the 10 questions on the census form, you need a specific day on which your answers are true, even though they may not be the same as you would have given six months ago or would give a month from now.
You are not a criminal if you haven’t mailed your form in yet; the census will be going on through July. If you have the form, go ahead and mail it. If you don’t, you can expect a visit from a census taker before the end of July.
One way or another, you will be counted. It is the law.
The government has my tax income tax return and every one in my family has a valid social security number. THEY CAN GET THEIR COUNT IF THEY WOULD USE THEIR RESOURCES!!! Why did they waste so much money on this STUPID census!?
