Here's a link to the legitimate form. Does it look like this ?

given the concerns regarding NSA, hackers getting your credit card and information fraud websites false advertising such as fake Disneyworld Website and Facebook breach, scam after scam after scam. I received a billing from Newspaper I subscribe to and after careful review and a call to the newspaper it was fake.

Even if this is a legitimate survey chances are your personal information is going to be passed around the country.

I gave limited information on the census in 2010.

Finally if anyone looks closely all of the indexes and leading indicators used by the government are so flawed in their application and political motivated require more space than is provided here. Beside who would read a long response here

Do I have to answer these questions?
Yes. You are legally obligated to answer all the questions, as accurately as you can.

The relevant laws are Title 18 U.S.C Section 3571 and Section 3559, which amends Title 13 U.S.C. Section 221.


I would not suggest throwing it in the trash. Nor is it a cogent argument to suggest that if one believes that the gubment is using flawed data in its projections, the way to help is to refuse to give it good data. Obviously just the opposite is true. The more accurate the input to the data base, the better the utility of that data will be.

the US census will not be conducted again until 2020. i have no idea what sort of census form you would get at this time. i think that it is bogus, but i would defininitely check the census website for advice.

If you do be sure to tell them you have 60 million dependents!

It's like some of the people that say "don't answer it" have not read any of the information supplied by Bogie and others.
1. You can check on the legitimacy of the form by going to their website or by calling them.
2. You are required by law to answer and to answer truthfully.
3. Stuff like this is what being a good citizen is all about. The answers you will provide help determine how 450 billion dollars is spent on infrastructure.
4. After the collected data is published, stores like Target and Walmart use it to determine where new stores will go. They rely on data like this much more than 20 people writing emails asking them to open a new store in their neighborhood.
5. If you still have questions about it, refer once again to point #2!

I totally agree.
