On June 27, Justice John Roberts joined the liberal judges on the U.S. Supreme Court to block a citizenship question on the upcoming U.S. Census. form.

Seems totally ridiculous that our government, and indeed Country, cannot ask a basic question of Citizenship in a very expensive, detailed and important Census, in this case for 2020. I have asked the lawyers if they can delay the Census, no matter how long, until the United States Supreme Court is given additional information from which it can make a final and decisive decision on this very critical matter. Can anyone really believe that as a great Country, we are not able the ask whether or not someone is a Citizen? Only in America!

Conservatives took to Twitter yesterday to start a #RejectCensus2020 campaign, telling people living in liberal states to throw their census in the trash. To be clear, we’re not advocating for Americans to throw away their Census. We’re reporting about the frustration Americans are feeling, knowing that illegal aliens can fill out the form, which will falsely affect the actual number of American citizens living in blue (Democrat stronghold) districts.

Initiating a Campaign folks! Say NO TO CENSUS 2020 and hurt them where they hurt the American People 24/7! Less House seats, Less Sanctuary City Funding, Less of our tax dollars being used for everyone but Americans!

VERY SIMPLE, If you’re in a blue state DO NOT PARTICIPATE in the census. Illegals are encouraged to but NOBODY HAS TO !!… ✅

“Marcia Lynn” tweeted:

I think ALL American citizens should refuse to answer the census until we get a citizenship determination on it… We absolutely need to know how many citizens, immigrants, and illegals are in our country.

Is it legal to throw your census away?

In 2014, Bob Cole, who hosts Austin radio station KOKE-FM’s weekday morning show, told his audience he couldn’t believe the U.S. Census Bureau told him he was legally required to participate in a government survey.

“In a few days you will receive an American Community Survey questionnaire in the mail,” the bureau said in a letter to Cole. The letter said: “Because you are living in the United States, you are required by law to respond to this survey.” Cole gave us a copy of a bureau envelope with this nudge outside: “Your response is required by law.”

And are recipients required to fill it out?

You bet. A bureau web page singles out Section 121 of Title 13, which says that any adult refusing to answer a bureau survey shall be fined–and the fine can be as much as $5,000, the bureau separately says online.

Except: The bureau has not prosecuted anyone for not filling out a survey since the 1970 census. Bureau spokeswoman Stacy Gimbel Vidal told us the bureau is “really not in the business of prosecuting people who don’t comply.” – Politifact
