The Census

I believe in the census. An accurate count of the population is critical to representative democracy. In America the number of congresspeople a state gets is based upon its population – which is known from an accurate census.

My census form arrived in the mail today. Prominently on the front of the envelope it says, “YOUR RESPONSE IS REQUIRED BY LAW.” In bold, all capitals, large font.

This is what is known as poking the animals or trying to pick a fight. Are these government bureaucrats loco or just plain stupid? They most certainly were born in a barn.

The racists on the right wing don't want a accurate census. They detest the idea of one man, one vote if this also applies to people of Mexican American or African American heritage. The tea party weirdos are solidly against the idea of an accurate census.
