I had the same reaction - did we really need to spend money on this?
I wouldn't know what I was getting if this letter didn't arrive first?
I think our Pet Talk reaction indicates that we are aware and concerned about how much of our money is spent on wasteful things.
I can just see this happening in Illinois, too.

I got my official US Census. I called the number listed on the form and talked to a very helpful young man. He told me the form that I got before this was the form from the National Neighborhood Census, or something like that. He told me some households are randomly selected, that it is more detailed than the US Census, and that the privacy restrictions are similar. I was relieved to know that some wayward person wasn't utilizing my personal information.
whew!

Today I got a post card from the government telling me to send my census form back in because IT'S DA LAW!!!
Goobers!!! I sent it back the day after I got it. :rolleyes: I expect next they will be calling us all up on the phone to bug us about it.
I'm not sending mine back until April 1st - don't care what they say :p
States on the form the info is supposed to be accurate for April 1st, and how do I know both of us will still be breathing on that date?
So there . . . . . http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...th/popcorn.gif
We received our census form, filled it out, mailed it and this week we got our card indicating we would get the forms soon.:confused::confused::confused: Whatever.:rolleyes:
I understand some scammers have been sending out bogus Census forms too. I got my real one last week - after getting the "the Census is coming! The Census is Coming!" letter AND a separate postcard.
After you et the census form, you then get a notice reminding you that you got it nad need to complete it and return it.
Yep, I got the card telling me it was coming; the form itself; and the reminder to mail it in!
I had already done it and sent it back, BTW.

Oh yeah, I got my "did you get it and send it back?" postcard today. I guess they're just going to keep them coming! You would think there was some sort of check-back when you sent it back it, they would stop with the extra reminders, but oh, wait .... that would make sense and save money! We can't have that!
