I have a problem with allowing predjudiced workers (ACORN and APOLLO) to collect that information. A excutive branch that seems to be fast and loose with the interpretation of facts(see changing deficit and about anything Biden says) grr I am just a frustrated voter sad at the changes in my country and governments reach into my life.

I totally agree with Gatto's assessment. And here you've explained yet another reason I, too, am glad to be a homeschooling Mama! Can we just put the number in the house and then answer nothing else. That's what I'd prefer to do at this point. I feel like I'm becoming ever more aware of the intrusiveness of our government and it does not please me at all. Wow!

About the Census, however. To my knowledge, we are not required by law to answer all the peripherial questions on the Census form. But, as a genealogist, I sure do appreciate that my ancestors did.
