Reward JerryDay by subscribing to his youtube channel then, pass this 4um link along to everyone on your list, specifically asking them to also pass it along... please. Let's run up some numbers while waking up some folks to a great way to deal with the feds when they come a knockin.'
Don't open the door but, if you must, have a tripod and video camera already running. Hell, practice how you will handle the whole scene. Or, just flip your digital camera to video and catch what you can. They are coming and they want your voluntary cooperation.
Don't volunteer, for God's sake. Ask a few questions of your own and catch them on video making fools of themselves. I Love It. You can use the video option of your digital camera as well. Hold it steady.
I will make a DVD for the project which contains this clip and the best clips of these folks at the front door. Oh, baby, this could wake up some folks

Public Servant Questionnaire to use - (apologies for the crappy formatting)
Public Law 93-579 states in part: “The purpose of this Act is to provide certain safeguards for an individual against invasion of privacy by requiring federal agencies… to permit an individual to determine what records pertaining to him are collected, maintained, used, or disseminated by such agencies.”
The following questions are based upon that act and are necessary in order that this individual may make a reasonable determination concerning divulgence of information to this agency.
1. Name of public servant: _____________________________________________________________
5. Will public servant uphold the Constitution for the United States? ________________________
6. Did public servant furnish proof of identity? _______________________________________________

13. What other agencies may have access to this information? __________________________________
14. What will be the effect upon me if I should choose to not answer any part or all of these questions?
If any request for information relating to me is received from any person or agency, you must advise me in writing before releasing such information. Failure to do so may subject you to civil or criminal action as provided by the Act.
The Privacy Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-579) is an amending law to Title 5, United States Code, section 552; and is included in Title 5 as section 552a. This Act gives me full rights to know what information is being collected and maintained about me and for what uses and purposes (see Sec. 2(b)(1)).

14. What will be the effect upon me if I should choose to not answer any part or all of these questions?
Absolutely none. One of their people came to our house last time around and I told him how many people lived at that address and that is ALL I told him. He asked me if I wouldn't answer the rest of the questions and I told him I would not, that the census was for the purpose of determining the number of people and that was all. And he already had that. Never heard anything more about it.
