To stop the Obama administration from spying on her, Batshit Crazyeyes [vows to not fill out her census form.](http://www.minnpost.com/cynthiadizikes/2009/06/18/9619/bachmann_says_she_won%E2%80%99t_complete_2010_census) I think she should not even report the household number. She should instruct all of her constituents to follow her lead. Then, when the census shows her district with 0 population, we can be rid of the crazy. Or we can put a dent in the deficit with the $5000 fines. ---

If there was a Republican President, I’m quite sure that she’d be calling the same actions “Treason”. ---

First you let them do it, and reap the consequences of ignorance bordering on cuckoo crazy. Then you fine them. ---
