    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. I expect next they will be calling us all up on the phone to bug us about it.
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    I'm not sending mine back until April 1st - don't care what they say

    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 . . . . .

    We received our census form, filled it out, mailed it and this week we got our card indicating we would get the forms soon. Whatever.

    I got my "it's the law" card today too. I mailed the form back last week.

    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!

    It's actually cheaper and more cost effective with a mailing of that size to just do a mass mailing.

    By the time they update the DB with who has responded, the deadline is gone and they have to send a canvasser to the address anyway.

    I got another census mailer yesterday.

    It warns me to make sure I sent mine in. I did, about two weeks ago?

    I feel like sending in the second one, just to be sure!

    I want to know why my Census wanted to know who all was living in the house as of APRIL 1, but the deadline to send it in was APRIL 1???

    So I mailed mine in on April 1 even though hubby filled it out a few days before that.

    I mailed mine in the day after I got it in March. I wasn't planning on dying before April 1st but if I did, it would serve them right to have me counted for bugging us to death.
