Jerry Day Productions, The Census, Getting Personal

I am reposting this because of my own personal experience with the census bureau…

Firstly I would like to say that each and every one of my neighbors who came to census us were very polite [we knew most of them]…and were also very easy to talk to…

I had already decided that I didn’t want to answer anything except for how many people live here…Some people like my son would question “why”?… He loves to argue with me, lol.. being a fully fleged 20 yr old, and so is a good sounding board.

On this one he said…”Hey!…What if I want to know how many Mormans live in the United States?” or etc…blah blah blah… His point being…”Why didn’t I just answer the “damn” questions and be done with it!!…My answer was.. “Because I have the Constitutional right to decide whether I want to answer the questions or not….[see George Carlin's video on rights here [ George Carlin on America ] …it’s a Hoot!!… Seriously]…So watch the video so you kinda get the grasp of what are called “Rights” or “God given Rights”…

Being the oldest of five and raised by a lifer Lt.Cornel in the AF [dad was a pilot and Nam vet] and my mom who was the principal of a Catholic school…well you can see I was bred to question everything and test all boundries…Do I know that the government already has all this info about me?…OMG…If you are reading this and on the internet than you must know they do…and if you don’t well…better wise up but it’s too late…The point being I had the so called “right” to say no~

On to the census… I had not one, not two, but five people come down my driveway marked “Private” and come to my door to ask me questions…The first time, someone else answered the door, when I heard who it was I said…”Ohh, came on in and have a seat.”…They started on the spiel by saying do you live at such and such address to which I replied…well…the county hasn’t decided [which they haven't] we have one platt number and a different address….Then I just interrupted and said I will answer one question and one question only and that is how many people live in this house, that is my constitutional right….and BTW when someone asks that………. Since *when* did anyone have to have a constitution or even a “God” to give us rights…Aren’t we born with them?” …They did always said they understood my rights…well till the last guy…But anyway after the first one came a supervisor came to make sure that we were asked everything correctly and proceeded to re-ask every such and such question….or try anyway…I interrupted with the same answer… no problem…and again…till the last who said, “I totally understand, but DO YOU understand that it’s illegal to not answer these questions?…and gave me a piece of government paper..to which I duly noted and read that the government did in fact try to tell me that it WAS illegal to not “Duly Comply”…I said well I disagreed and he said,  ”I understand, just had a fellow right over there [pointing] say the same thing…and he had been visited ELEVEN times.”…..Another person I know here was visited at his business NINE times [NOT a home]…and there you go…would you consider this harassment for so many DIFFERENT individuals to drive down a private drive, look around, come in your house [invited of course by me] and ask questions concerning income, phone number [hell no]…etc…? This is my rebuttal to the person who questioned this video…

This is an expose’ of the Census Bureau. This video itemizes the fundamental

legal questions that the Census Bureau refuses or fails to answer about its

collection and use of personal information from every American (see questions

below).

This program aired on Matrix News Network (syndicated national

television) in January of 2010.

Without any apparent authority the Census Bureau has expanded it’s information gathering activities. In addition to the once-in-10-years Census authorized by the Constitution, the Census Bureau conducts more in-depth “Surveys” of 250,000 Americans every month of every year. It has no Constitutional authority for that, in fact the Bureau is violating the 4th Amendment to the Bill of Rights by suggesting that Americans are “obligated” to provide any personal information whatsoever to government.

The Constitution allows the government to count people once every ten years, but does not require any American to BE COUNTED, OR TO PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION AT ALL, much less to provide personal information to the temporary worker and stranger who comes to your door with a Census Bureau badge.

My reason for producing this video and for posting it on YouTube is that I see so many people everywhere who don’t seem to understand that the USA has become something very different than the country of our origin, and we have ALREADY lost many of the rights and freedoms that were given to us by nature (God?) and were protected for us again in our Constitution. Our Constitutional framers never imagined the spending, waste, taxation intrusion and aggression that our government now commits without restraint.

There is a pdf file of the Census Bureau’s AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY Questionnaire at:

If you are not disturbed by the questions they will ask you, then you are not reading it carefully.
