Comments on: Official: Census Problem In Century In 2010? Response In 2000 Was Poor http://www.northescambia.com/2009/07/official-census-problem-in-century-in-2010-response-in-2000-was-poor Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Tue, 07 Apr 2026 16:50:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: JD http://www.northescambia.com/2009/07/official-census-problem-in-century-in-2010-response-in-2000-was-poor/comment-page-1#comment-18022 JD Sun, 16 Aug 2009 00:32:19 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=9547#comment-18022 If Americans believe the country is going the wrong way then Americans shouldn't participate at all. Because the 2010 Census is a ploy by Obama to raise. I got fooled by Obama when he ran for President and voted for him. No more Americans shouldn't participate in the census at all. The more Americans that don't participate in the Census at all is better. If Americans believe the country is going the wrong way then Americans shouldn’t participate at all.

These reports were made strictly in case of a poisonous gas release, and evacuation became necessary. We went house to house gathering information on the number of people in the house, if there were special needs like someone in a wheel chair or on oxygen. We explained that we were in no way connected to the government, that we were doing this for an oil company and the information would only be used in case of an emergency, to get people out of the effected area. They were told that H2S is a deadly gas and could kill them in a matter of minutes. Still about half the people we surveyed would not give you any information, in fact if you ask some people who lived in the next house they would tell you they didn't know, it was strange how when you ran those people down a couple of days later, they had the same last name as the people in the house next door, and looked a lot alike. So with this experience, I'm surprised that they got even 46% of the people in Century to answer any questions.

She needs to admit that she and her workers did a very poor job, both in publicity and gathering data. Tina Joshua is looking to place the blame for poor response on the wrong people.

If they have formatted a new census only asking a few basic questions, then people may not have a problem with that and co-operate. We'll see! I recall when FEMA came to do an damage inspection of our home right after Hurricane Ivan because we submitted a claim for some outside roof damage/leakage, they came inside and recorded all contents of our home (electronics, phones, firearms, personal items and etc...) and we didn't even claim any property damage on the inside. We felt sorta violated to a certain extent! It's because the Government sometimes crosses the line and will get all up in your personal business that creates people to have distrust issues. Census is seen as another way to do that on a 10 year basis. Maybe this 2010 census will be different?
