Yes, refuse more than the number of residents. The rest is none of their business. And yes, ACORN is a corrupt Community Organization that will do the bidding of the Community Organizer in Chief. Why else would Obama take it over (besides the fact that he intends to take over everything while telling you he's not)? America, take at least this small stand - it's now or never.

It's none of your concern how, where or why my kids work - but it IS my business when they can't get a summer job because illegal aliens have taken the unskilled ones.

Get over yourself - "hatred" is such an easy excuse to use when you have no valid defense for illegal aliens affecting our economy and our nation's ability to provide jobs for CITIZENS.

You're pretty defensive about illegal aliens. How many of them do you exploit?

Oops, sorry, didn't realize your kids want to work in chicken processing. Tell them Koch Foods is hiring. They should be prepared to work 10 hour days, stand knee high in chicken waste, and promise not to organize, that way I won't have to pay more than $5.00 for my chickens. I am sure glad I am not being eaten away by my own hatred. It is nice to wake up every morning and enjoy life unencumbered by fear and ignorance. Yippie!

We all need to take the census, and triple the number of people living in our homes. If we don't, farmers and suburbs will have no representation and inner cities where the census is being taken by the acorn crooks will get all the seats in the house.

How does one "guy" a chicken, Righteous Stupidity?

Is that what you do to them between postings on YOUR "comment" time?

Immigrants haven't taken away jobs - especially "high paying" ones.

The low paying jobs taken from our kids were taken by ILLEGAL ALIENS (scabs & squatters).

Like I said, your name fits you perfectly.

Randy, I'm an old hippie taught by liberals to question authority.

Now that the "authority" in question are the liberal Democrats, I should start TRUSTING now? The double standard doesn't apply - one cannot trust the government no matter WHICH party is in power. They're ALL corrupt.

If you trust the government, you're the one being laughed at.

So true Randy! And while they are cleaning the guns, they should be looking for all those high paying jobs taken by immigrants. Oh wait, that would mean they didn't have as much time to hang on comment columns in local papers. Ready to guy chickens? Or would you pay what other countries pay that have no cheap labor?

The scum at ACORN will be running this Census in a manner so highly politicized that it would astound the Founding Fathers. We should all refuse to participate in the Census, discard the forms, and peacefully picket the local office of the Census.

No one should return the questionaire, make the hired people earn their money by having to catch you at home to ask their questions.

This entire thing is a giant scam. I took the test to be a census worker a few months ago in Fairfield. I scored 97 percent. I have all the qualities they claim to desire. I'm retired and I speak multiple languages. But despite the Census people telling me they would be in touch with me within 6 weeks I've heard nothing yet. I'm either over-qualified or I don't have the right complexion.

Hopefully these questionaires will include postage to help people send the information back. It's cheeper and safer!

Not, I'd be more worried about the people knocking on our doors. I don't trust anyone hired by ACORN/COI - anyone with ties to that organization is criminal in my opinion.

They also will go to each of your neighbors and ask them personal questions about you. My neighbors and I agree to answer any questions asked with an "I don't know".

Righteous stupidity, your name fits you well.

It's also used to RE-DRAW congressional districts to favor minorities.

The minorities they're counting aren't even citizens and have no right to subvert our voting districts because illegal aliens have decided to squat in our communities.

All they need is the NUMBER of people living in a household - not their personal data.

It's a whole different ballgame now that Obama has taken control and placed his criminal cronies in charge - pay attention.

I don't think there is a salary high enough for me to go knocking on doors of crack houses & meth labs and ask the psychopaths why they didn't return their census form. No job is worth a bullet in the face.

Duh! So you all do understand that the census is used to determine how much federal and state money is provided to your counties, right? Refusing to be included just means less money for parks, schools, and other public services. Only in Butler County are residents willing to shoot themselves in the foot to keep their hatred of others alive.

I have lived in West Chester all my life and I am NOT going to comply this year with the census. All they will get is the number in my household. I WILL NOT allow this corrupt, arrogant current administration to have my family's personal information to use against us some day...GO FLY A KITE Obama and your ACORN cronies!!! (BTW, I work in Middletown!)

The questionnaire that acornlies posted was the long form that only about one in seven or eight folks get. I worked for the census in 2000 and it was actually a great part time job. making about $12 an hour to go around neighborhoods and talk to people. And, sorry acornlies, 99% of the people I spoke with (who happened to live in a rather upscale neighborhood) were more than willing to give their information!

This whole job offer for census takers is a joke. My son went in to apply for one of these positions 6 months ago at the Solid Rock Church. They were herding applicants into and out of these "interviews" like Miller Brewery does. Almost like a numbers game. No response from them after repeated attempts. You may be wasting your time when applying for these jobs.

..yet another shining example of the decision making capabilities of governmental officials. I'm certain that West Chester Twp will not be the "hot-bed" of census non-compliance. Perhaps travel time to and from the field, lack of available office space, or the influx (even if temporary) in Middletown or Hamilton of 1000+ jobs ... all made the decision to locate in West Chester the best choice!

Take a gander at the questions we're "required" to answer:

http://www.census.gov/acs/www/Downl...

Since the census is counting illegal aliens as part of our "population" I'll refuse to answer any questions except how many people live in the household.

ACORN/COI is an ongoing criminal enterprise - I don't trust them with my personal information. I might as well post it on a billboard - we don't know WHO has access to these records.
