U.S. incensed over census

"The census count is already breaking down. People are in revolt! Calls are flooding into our office. ... They are very upset about the intrusive nature of the questions, such as how a person gets to work, whether they have any disabilities, how many cars they own, what their income was and who they work for!"...

"It's time for some polite, patriotic civil disobedience," said Dasbach. "If you care about privacy, genuine equality, and old-fashioned American liberty, the arrival of the Census form is your chance to literally stand up and be counted. Tell them how many people live in your home, and that's all."

"Maybe $100 is a small price to pay for making a principled stand for privacy and freedom," he concluded.

We haven't received our census form yet but we concur that any information requested other than a head count of the household is an invasion of privacy. The Constitution calls for an enumeration every 10 years in Article I, Section II (later amended by th XIV amendment) for the purpose of apportioning the Representatives of the several states. I can find no other purpose in the document.
