Everyone on my block is going to mail it in at the same time and then we are going to have a BBQ. Not really.<br /><br />What I don't understand is why they had to mail a letter telling us the Census was coming. That just seems like a lot of wasted money. <br /><br />Thank you for visiting on my SITs day!Claudya Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17034216831504207496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5396732244209548586.post-82074116380962440362010-03-16T21:49:16.892-05:002010-03-16T21:49:16.892-05:00I agree, but we conservatives know the real reason...I agree, but we conservatives know the real reason there was so much hype. To cover up the controversy regarding the long form. All the information asked. Remember the purpose is to know how many people there are in each district so we know how many representatives we need... the rest is an intrusion of privacy. I'm just glad I got the short form so I didn't have to go to jail. Phew, that was a close one!MOMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5396732244209548586.post-70587019572262421572010-03-16T21:44:48.854-05:002010-03-16T21:44:48.854-05:00I especially love the letter that I got last week ...I especially love the letter that I got last week warning me about the census papers which would be arriving the following week.
