What if you don't get a Census form?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Should I have gotten one by now? Everyone else in my family got theirs weeks ago, and I feel so left out. Is there someone I should call to request one?

I want to be counted, dammit!

On Census 2000’s FAQ page, click on the first link; there’s an 800 number for questionnaire assistance. Might see what they say.

Shoulda known they’d have a website. Thanks.

Do you want mine? Between the kid and dog, it’s pretty chewed up and has crayon marks all over it. I see a Waco-style siege of my residence by the Bureau of Census SWAT teams in the near future.

…send lawyers, guns, and money…

I’ll take it. I want to be counted, tallied, and entered into the database. My four killer attack cats can handle the SWAT teams. Sure, they’ve got tear gas, but we have catnip! They’ve got grenades, but we’ve got hundred-mile-an-hour hairballs! Stick that up yer…computer.

If you don’t get a census form?

Last I heard, either you have to leave immediately and relocate to Canada, or you don’t have to pay taxes anymore. One of those. :slight_smile:

I didn’t get one either. And I filed independantly from my parents last year. Gee, the federal government must be idiots. Huh. Didn’t see that one coming.

Umm, SR? I think you are talking about tax forms, not census forms. The census only comes around once a decade, not every year. Agreed though, the gov’t seems to be full of idiots. Well, RTFirefly doesn’t seem too bad, but the conclusion about the idiots seems to fit my general observations.

Thanks, Unc - from you, I’ll take that as high praise. :smiley:

SR: where do you live - with your parents? In a dorm? In a house with a bunch of other people? In an apartment by yourself? Whether you should have seen a form depends on your living situation. If you live in a house or apartment, there will be one form for the entire household, even if it’s not exactly a traditional household. If you live in a dorm, they’ll be by to enumerate you with individual forms sometime in April.

Neenah, you DON’T get a census form. They are sent to the ADDRESS. :slight_smile:

Handy, thanks for pointing that out. I’ll have my mailbox call the folks at the Census Bureau immediately to request one.
