I got my Census form..from the Repugs.
Nosy lil fuckers, they are, too.
Letter says it is my "official 2010 CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT CENSUS"
"authorized" no less, by Michael Steele.

Oh, yeah, and I am one of " a select few".

(Pausing to bathe in the special feeling.)

Reading on...let's see....oh, I got this because of my "high level of political involvement
and steadfast commitment to the Repub Party" !!
Says so, right here.

the word census is used 8 times in the first 9 paragraphs on the first page.

My first name, which I never ever use, is also repeated over and over.
shit, we have not been properly introduced and they are using my first name. How rude.

They want to know what I, a special select person, thinks about "the fact the government
is totally controlled by the Democrats".

they want money too, imagine that.
A minimum of 15.00 to "defray the cost of this ....Census".

Oh, dear..whatever shall I tell them?

1. I can't say what I would tell them cause it would get deleted.

2. I would love to get one of those. Is the return postage prepaid?
If so, you could have a grand time with such a mailing.

3. I read where this census was deemed illegal
and they were ordered to stop

6. I looked the illegal thing up.
They thought they were getting past the new law because they put the mis-leading census word
on the body of the letter that shows thru the clear window, instead of having it on the cover envelope.
Apparently the House has just passed an amendment to close that loophole, Senate needs to vote on it.


I fired off an e-mail to my state's GOP headquarters, telling them they drove me to register
Independent because of Michael Steele's stupidity.

Saving the return stamped envelope for something ....special.

considering some of the questions included in there...and I have the real deal ( REAL census form ) that doesn't have that wording on it, so tell me...why on Earth would those words appear on this crap mailer?

8. Complain to the local Post Master. Pretend that you've never heard of the issue
and complain that your census form seems fraudulent. Ask why the form is requesting money. Play dumb and fill out all the postal complaint forms.

10. Send it to the state AG
It's a clear example of fraud and it's against the law. Really. Federal law.

It's against the law because they've pulled this shit before, scaring uneducated people into coughing up cash they can't afford to avoid being on the government's bad side.

13. I should send it to AG with a " I"m scard not to answer this census form"
tone, but plead that I have no money to compete the census.

That oughta cover it.

21. Oh, the real Census will find you.
They'll send someone to your door. I'm surprised they haven't already.

25. I did that with the one my mom got as well.
Actually we had some fun filling it out together. She had me list her party affiliation as "former Republican" so, if anyone reads the damn thing after finding no money in it, they'll think they've lost her. (She's always been a Democrat).

24. I wish I could get one of those letters...
"What is your opinion of the fact the government is totally controlled by the Democrats?"
Is it? The Republican Party is in the minority but they've done nothing but obstruct and stonewall. If you people would sit down, shut up and follow the president in a time of war like you told Democrats they had to do when Bush was president, we MIGHT be able to get something done. As it is now, you guys are voting against things you actually like just to stymie the president's agenda.

"Can you send us a minimum of $15 to defray the cost of this census?"
Gee, I dunno...I WOULD, except you would just spend it on paying off your booze and hooker bills.
