Hi Rich,

My own response is that the government is acquiring and selling this
information, and I don't think they should.

Although they tell you in sometimes capital letters that this information
is not being disclosed to unauthorized parties, their web site indicates
that the authorized parties do include private companies, to assist with
planning future operations.  Bleah.

I regret filling the long form and sending it in.  I do plan on writing
congresscritters, although admit that is futile.  I don't agree with the
northern Wisconsin resident who assaulted the census taker, but I give
slight sympathy for the thought behind it.
