A RADICAL response to the Trump Administration's Census Citizen Question

[jimlup]

This could be done and WE could do it!

Everybody answers NO to the citizenship question. And/Or refuses to answer it.

SOLIDARITY! IF WE ALL DO IT THEN THEY CAN'T USE IT - IT WILL BECOME MOOT.

1. Then the census fails which is what the GOP really want.

3. Noif all other questions are answered normallyno big deal

I like the idea of nullification in this case.

4. No we answer truthfully all of the other questions

IF EVERYONE does it they will have no choice but to use the data as it is. That situation would make the Trump census question moot. But only if we did it as a mass movement.

6. I heard they would have to hire people to go back and answer that

one question which would cost a ton. And diminish the whole thing. Right wing in Canada ended the long form census in Canada. They said it was due to privacy issues. Liberals reinstated it. It is politics and meant to leave good information only in the hands of rich people or corporations who can afford to hire pollsters. Small business, government and regular people would be shut out of good information. Gums up information on growth so that only the rich can capitalize on it. That is corruption by another name.

5. The fine for refusing to answer is $100

The fine for answering falsely is $500. So refusing to answer is better.
