Apparently, in protest to the inclusion of ACORN, move to the White House, and the number of intrusive questions involved, there is a movement to answer only the number in household question on the 2010 Census.
I did not know that there was a fine for not filling it out. Even so I'm plan on following suit. The .gov has already proven they can't be trusted w/ even the most basic of information. Why should I make it any easier for them?

Even if there is a fine for not filling out all the questions (a fine, I would point out, that would have absolutely no Constitutional precedent - not as though that matters, just saying), I still plan on answering how many people are in my household and absolutely nothing more.
It is worth that fine, if it even exists, to tell the government to do its damn job, only its damn job, and not a damn thing more.
I did Census work in 2000, the fine's for not completing the census was never enforced. We went back once or twice and politely asked, but if nobody wanted to do it, the issue wasn't pushed.
I think this issue will only be pushed in area's that can be redistricted.
Depending on how you look at it, since I'm in deep blue country, I don't expect a knock on my door.
If they come to me this year, I am NOT answering it.
And if they want to fine me, fine...
But I won't pay...
