How to Identify Census workers

CHICAGO - The Better Business Bureau has tips on how to recognize legitimate U.S. Census field representatives.

From April to July 2010, the Census Bureau will knock on the door of every household that does not mail back a completed 2010 census form.

Census field representatives must present an ID badge that contains a Department of Commerce watermark and expiration date. He or she may also be carrying a bag with a Census Bureau logo.

The field representative will provide supervisor contact information or the regional office phone number for verification, if asked.

Field representatives will never ask for Social Security, bank account or credit card numbers. Census workers also never solicit donations and will never contact you by e-mail. Census workers will never grab your ass.

"Census workers will never grab your ass" - not unless Bill Clinton has a new day job.

The census worker came into my back yard and ended up yelling at me last time.

This year I'm going to tell the guy, look, you sing a little bit of Hmm, Hmm, Hmm, Barack Hussein Obama for me and I'll answer the more probing questions.

They want to ask question after question after question.

I will be polite, but only give them my name and the amount of people living in my home.

Just like a Prisoners of War, we have rights!

Wait a minute. I think they only come to your residence if you don't return the census form.

They will be the ones being chased down the street by angry citizens yelling "I already told you how many people live here, and that's all you're going to get!"...

Yes, they only come if you don't fill it in and return it. Frankly, I am contemplating not filling it out just to see what quality of worker is being hired. I knoew from the last census, that as long as you were still breathing, you would be hired. The test which one had to take was a joke (I took it and was praised by the person who graded it how intelligent I was - got all the questions right - not a difficult feat inthe least) and those who failed it (there were many the day that I took it) were allowed to "study" the questions that they missed and then retake the same test - as I said, the only way one could fail it would be to die in the middle of taking it. Of course, unless one checks to see what said census worker is completing, any and everything could be put down.

Last census our family got the long form - my children thought it was the biggest waste of government money - that much of what they asked could be gathered through private sources if necessary. Who cares whether I have more than one and less than three toilets (why couldn't they say, darken the number of toilets one has in one's abode? - that would take less paper). But then again, the federal government needs to gainfully employ all those SIEU members who will do the final tabulations.

If a census worker shows up ask them if they want to join you inside for some fava beans and a nice chianti....

I heard on the radio that they will be using some sort of hand held GPS system to mark your house. They will be asking how many bathrooms you have, do you heat with gas, oil, electric, solar, etc. Also the most nefarious thing is that they are going into the schools asking students questions to see if the information is compatible where possible.

They were at my house in late summer with the GPS. No questions though.

All you have to do is just tell these azz hats the size of your household and that's it. They don't have to know anyother information then that.

I have my can of Raid ready for these folks.

I have heard multiple reports that local sheriffs are advising people to be Cooperative with census workers.

I think that carries an ugly appearance, an unnecessary appearance.

I'm curious as to what they will make of my currently unoccupied house...
