"Men give me some credit for genius. All the genius I have lies in this: When I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort which I make, the people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought." - Alexander Hamilton

Counting the People and Much Much Much More

So how do we answer only the numeration questions on the upcoming census and provide a good . The census data collects a ton of info from the people and uses it, in who knows how many odd ways. The bottom line is that I really do not trust my government at this time in any way. I have seen to many abuses of power by BO and the government as a whole.

Answering only the numeration question has been suggested by Michele Bachmann (R-Minn) as right thing to do.



So here are my suggestions:

5th Amendment: We sign saying that under penalty of perjury the foregoing is correct and accurate. What if we make a mistake? That opens us to self-incrimination, which is clearly against the 5th amendment.

5th Amendment: "[N]or shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation." This one may not seem so obvious to many people. Many marketing companies pay top dollar for marketing data. The census is top notch marketing data that would all for direct marketing. This seems to be a real possibility as BO has allowed private information to be given to legal companies for helping with homes. Since my demographic information has value the government is taking something of value from me that I am not being compensated for.

10th Amendment: The 10th would seem to allow the state to conduct an in depth census. Therefore the federal government is overstepping their bounds.

4th Amendment: The census is an unreasonable search that could easily be abused by government. The search could happen without our knowledge and then be used to point us out to the federal government for whatever evil purposes that Washington DC would want to use them for.

14th Amendment: The equal protection clause also provides help. We are all guaranteed the right to be treated equally. What about all those who are not counted. Or who are guesstimated to be counted.
