By signing this petition, I am pledging to refuse to answer any questions on the 2010 Census or the American Community Survey conducted by the United States Census Bureau that are not specifically called for in the United States Constitution. Article 1, Section 2 of the United States Constitution provides for a Census to be taken every 10 years for the purpose of enumerating the population. Therefore, I will reveal how many persons are living in my household. I refuse to provide any other information as it is not the right of the Government to demand it.

The feedback I receive reveals a deep concern regarding the boundaries of governmental authority in our private lives. I am currently reviewing the legal precedents concerning these mandates to better understand how we can protect our constitutional rights. This process takes time but your persistence justifies the effort.

Reaching this milestone confirms that many others share my deep concern regarding the limits of government reach. It is a quiet testament to the importance of protecting our personal privacy in accordance with the Constitution.

The constitution says count the people, it doesnt say ask for our whole life story. Stop the invasive questions.

They want to know way too much about my personal life. None of their business how much I make or what I do in my own home.
