Ohhh, I love the idea of lots of youtube clips of Census Takers replying to a few choice questions? Don't you?

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

See Give Me Liberty's #3. It may be that the penalties for answering questions incorrectly are much worse than refusing to answer any questions at all. That should tell you something about the stakes involved. We are seeing evidence of government's unstoppable growth with the new census process, so citizen resistance — perhaps considered a form of civil disobedience — is a given. Video recording of any interactions could be helpful in stirring up opposition to the changes, but one might want to consider heeding the rules of common courtesy.
I recommend listening to Jerry Day's list of unanswered questions. In the eyes of this citizen, the Census as practiced today is unconstitutional. It may also be driven out of fear of demographic changes. There must be a perceived need on government's part to try to understand the impact of open immigration.

Mistakes happen. Let the system haul a few million SENIOR/DISABLED citizens into civil court for a mistake some unskilled census taker claims you made. Not going to happen.
"they" do not need to haul millions, just a dozen here and there to scare everyone else into 'voluntary compliance'*. They do not care if it makes no sense. * voluntary compliance see: income tax

Several of the questions allegedly involve toilets in your home, others about sleeping habits...NO KIDDING ! Most of these questions are probably geared to assess new taxes, others are going to be sold to marketing firms.."to recoup costs"
