I got my Census in the mail and did what research I could to find out just what's going to happen to me for answering "how many people live here?", and nothing more.
I've found everything from a $500 fine to a $5000 fine to incarceration.
Because this is an invasion of privacy, and because my Constitution only asks for a number of people count every 10 years...
I plan on NOT answering whether my home is a house, mobile home, or apartment.
I plan on NOT answering "what is your telephone number?"...Nor if the owner of this property lives here, nor what the ratios of genders are, nor dates of birth, nor ethnicity, nor race... and am NOT planning on answering whether anyone lives here part time or not. I also will not be answering the relationship status between any of the members of this household.
Now...I have to tell you, I do not lead a charmed life and I'm usually the person in a group that never flies low enough under the radar to skip out on trouble.
If I'm the lucky party that gets to be the good example of a bad example...just what am I lookin' at here for standing up for my Constitutional rights?
