2010 Census

The Bill of Rights (the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution) at the Fourth Amendment reads:
Amendment IV
Search and arrest warrants
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

The provisions of Title 13 requiring information other than the number of persons, ages and sexes are in violation of the Fourth Amendment. Therefore, no other information need be given. If people will just remember that Title 13 violates the fourth amendment then that is all they need to say when asked for anything other than number, age and sex. See below legal authority citing cases, interesting commentary by Dr. Laurie Roth and a quotation worth repeating. Janet

Legal Authority to Ask Intrusive Questions Not Present
This Constitution and the Laws made in Pursuance thereof... shall be the supreme Law of the Land...all Judges shall be bound thereby...any Thing...to the Contrary notwithstanding.[Article VI, Clause 2, of the Constitution of the United States of America (1789)]

The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and name of law, is in reality no law, but is wholly void. Unconstitutional law bears no power to enforce, it purports to settle as if it never existed, for unconstitutionality dates from the enactment of such a law and not such time as branded in an open court of law. It confers no rights; it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed. No courts are bound to uphold it and no persons are bound to obey it.[16 Am Jur 256]

The Fourth and Fifth Amendments were described in Boyd v. United States , 116U.S. 616, 630, as protection against all governmental invasions ....of the sanctity of a man's home and the privacies of life. We recently referred[381 U.S. 479, 485] in Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643, 656, to the Fourth Amendment as creating a ....right to privacy, no less important than anyother right carefully and particularly reserved to the people.''[GRISWOLD v. CONNECTICUT , 381 U.S. 479 (1965)]


Declaration To Make To Census Takers:"I hereby affirm that the provisions of Title 13 ....requiring me to disclose my race, personal financial data, birth date, or any other personal, private information to the Bureau of the Census, an agency of the United States government, constitutes an unreasonable, unwarranted search of my person, house, papers, and/or effects, and a governmental invasion of the sanctity of my home and the privacies of life. As such, these provisions violate the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution, and are thus wholly void and I am not bound to obey them. I have completed the only those sections of the Census form pertaining to the Constitutionally-mandated actual enumeration, as follows:

1. The actual number of people living at the address printed on the form,excluding untaxed Native Americans;

2. Age of each person in accordance with US Const. Amendment XIV, Section 2;

3. Sex of each person, in accordance with US Const. Amendment XIV, Section 2.

I have thus fulfilled my obligation to the attainment of the actual enumeration of the populace of the United States.. Any fine or other sanction that is levied by any office or organization
stemming from the unconstitutional provisions of Title 13 in connection with my response to this or any other Census-related questioning will be challenged in a court of law.

Census bureau, ACORN, How safe is the information?
Put a lock on your underwear drawer…the census questions are coming.
By Dr. Laurie Roth Thursday, June 25, 2009

Bull's-eye central is afoot. The thousands of volunteer census workers assigned to get answers to questions from every household in the country has launched. How old are you and members of your household? What is your religion? Have you ever been on food stamps? What is your phone number? What is your race?

Magically we have ACORN as one of the groups at the center of collecting data nationally. Don't you just want a stranger from ACORN coming to your door, saying you have to answer personal, intrusive and unconstitutional questions for the first time in our census history? According to Representative Michele Bachmann, she has stated publicly:

"I know for my family the only question we will be answering is how many people are in our home. We won't be answering any information beyond that, because the Constitution doesn't require any information beyond that."

Census bureau spokesperson Shelly Lowe didn't waste any time taking Bachmannto the woodshed by reminding her of a portion of the U.S. legal code sayingthat if anyone over 18 refuses to answer any of the questions asked by census takers you can be fined up to $5,000.
Of course, predictably, the left and census brains are implying Bachmann is above the law and any of the rest of us who might rebel by not answering intrusive questions are horribly in error and will be fined if not more consequences.

We collect census info every 10 years and it is in our constitution that we do need to reveal how many people live at our home. That is for good reason since money is allocated to various states and members are elected to officeby knowing how many people need representation in various areas around thecountry.

All manipulative and personal questions are a violation of our rights and frankly none of our Government's business. When money and potential, political representation is linked to the outcome of census numbers collected we should have all the more concern that a group like ACORN, full of indictments in over a dozen states for fraud and misrepresentation iseven involved!

The question we all should have is what is the Government planning to dowith all this personal info?

Could our personal info be ever used against us? According to Rep. Bachmann
some of the members of congress have had their web sites hacked into. How will all our private information be protected, not sold, not stolen and not used against us at some time?

The census folks and this administration say abuse of the info won't happenand we are safe. Are we safe much like the Japanese were in the 40s underFranklin Roosevelt who USED CENSUS RECORDS TO ROUND UP ALL THE JAPANESE AND PUT THEM IN INTERNMENT CAMPS. No, our Government wouldn't dream of over reaching with control and abuse on the American people.

I encourage all to think very carefully about what your rights are and whatyou should do in answering questions that are vividly unconstitutional!

With a Government that wants more and more control and already identifies masses of law abiding citizens and vets as potential domestic terrorists we must start drawing lines!!! We must draw lines of protest regarding this fraudulent over reach regarding the census; draw lines regarding intrusionon private enterprise and business, draw lines regarding loan shark like plans for additional taxes, via cap and trade, the endlessly growing stimulus bill, and potential UN, global taxation schemes a foot as we speak.We don't have a choice anymore. Those of us who want a country left mustfind our voice, really read and know our constitution, declaration of Independence and bill of rights!!! Once these truth's and foundations are inour heads, organize, march, protest where needed and get behind real publicservants!!! God bless America and our right to privacy!!!

Otero County Commissioners get freebies from U.S. Census Bureau - small soccer balls inscribed "Su informacion esta segura"

I am staring at my souvenir of last night's Otero County Commission.

Yep, the title tells you. It is about 3" in diameter, black and white with red wording "United States Census 2010 Su informacion esta segura". Although it doesn't indicate where this toy/cheap stress ball was made, it appears to the typical import used by marketing/retail. What I know for sure is that your tax dollars paid to inform us "Sue informacion esta segura". (I had to talk someone out of theirs because they were distributed to the commissioners and staff.)

Many questions come to my mind. (1) Why does the U.S.Census Bureau feel the need to sell the idea of security of personal information? (2) Why did the U.S.Census Bureau choose a soccer ball and not a football? Why is the security message written in Spanish? Only Spanish speakers are concerned about security? Were/are these little soccer balls being distributed in Chaparral? Surely, they were not procured just for Otero County Commissioners and support staff.

Please go to Everything Alamogordo by clicking the title to view the presentation of two Census Bureau employees' presentation (It is archived under Live Feeds, Past Events. I am going to watch it even though I was there just to see if I can see the set-up for the 7 minute, tax payer financed, Census video. I clearly saw that it had been prepared for several audiences. We got the "general public" version last night. I will see if I can find the other targeted group's versions so you can compare.

What is Next? A Quartering Act. Nothing Would Suprise Me

So, you are asking what has a 1770's British law got to do with today? Everything. There is not much that is really new on this planet and this Census - GPS activity has got a lot of folks stirred up. Back to that in a second or two, now the Quartering and various other Acts precipitating the War of Independence.

At page 480 The First American, The Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin, H.W.Brands:

Whether the acts that followed were more or less moderate depended on one's point of view. The Massachusetts Government Act suspended the charter of the colony and granted the Crown much greater control over its affairs. The Administration of Justice Act allowed royal officials charged with certain crimes to be tried in England. The Quartering Act required private householders to take in troops upon the order of the British commanding officer. The Quebec Act - not a direct response to the Boston Tea Party but passed in the same atmosphere of disregard for American sensibilities - established a London-dominated civil government for Canada and extended the boundaries of Canada to the Ohio River, effectively vetoing claims of several of the existing colonies to the region.

To hear it these days, Americans protesting this action by the "Mother Country" were certainly backwoods hayseeds, rightwing nuts, homophobes, racists, whatever is diversionary to shoot the messenger. Back then it was Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson and General George Washington appointed to command the Continental Army. We are watching history repeat itself only now we have GPS, EMPs, the Cyber World and here is what the United Nations are planning in part:

INTRODUCTION

1. The recent technological developments, including new high-resolution sensors, global positioning systems (GPS), geographical information systems (GIS), Internet and World Wide Web services, are revolutionizing cartography, surveying and mapping in fundamental ways: geographic data is easily collected and combined with a variety of other data in order to create relevant information for spatial analysis and decision making. Geographic information, in its digital form, is indeed exchanged more rapidly, duplicated without alteration, and easily disseminated to end-users.

2. For the past decade, the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) has been
promoting the development of geographical information systems for population and
demographic statistics in developing countries through technical cooperation projects
supported by the United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA), training
workshops, and technical publications. However, the statistical community in developing countries has been slow to adopt the use of GIS, partially due to the monetary constraint posed by commercial software and the availability of computers, base maps, satellite imagery, work load, etc.

3. This paper outlines some developments in satellite imagery, GPS and GIS with
reference to census mapping activities, and provides some insight on the similarities
between a geographic information process and a census mapping process, therefore, it urges for the integration of these geospatial technologies within the census mapping process. It suggests some future actions to undertake in order to help kick-start the development of this field in developing countries.

My response was to generate this letter to Otero County Commissioners:

Date: Sat, 9 May 2009 18:35:45 +0000
To: Clarissa McGinn; Ronny Otero; Pamela Heltner
Subject: U.S. Census Bureau Speaker at Otero County Worksession


Dear Clarissa, Ronny and Pamela for Doug Moore,

In posting the agenda for the worksession in Chaparral, I see that Tom Chagolla of the U.S. Census Bureau is listed as a speaker for the worksession only.

I would request that Mr. Chagolla also be added to the Regular Meeting on Thursday, May 21st. If Mr. Chagolla is not able to attend the Regular Meeting I would request a written explanation as to why and that, plus a transcript of his remarks at the worksession, be added to the worksession minutes.

By copy of this letter, I am asking Donald Yee of Everything Alamogordo to stream the worksession.

Please read the article below. [ That is the article linked above.] Perhaps Mr. Chagolla could answer some of the questions raised and I am sure you can think of some of your own.

Janet White

I have received an affirmative response from Commissioner Rardin.

To complete the circle, take a moment to reflect on the Acts imposed on the Colonies and compare them to the actions of the federal government and the U.N.
