One of the lower-key workshops at the How to Take Back America conference was “How to Deal With Vote Fraud, the Census, and ACORN,” where Republican pols Kris Kobach and Ed Martin talked about the threat groups like ACORN posed to elections. (Kobach is running for Secretary of State in Kansas; Martin is running for Congress in Missouri.)
A key exchange came near the end, when Dave Johnson, an Alabama activist, asked what worried conservatives could do about the “invasive” questions in the decennial survey.

Representation is so overrated. Especially when you've got caging lists and political prosecutions right before the elections.

I find it ironic that they're asking people not to fill out census forms because there is no “long form” any longer. Everyone gets the same short form, which you can look up online and doesn't ask about guns. The 2010 census forms were approved when Bush was in office.
But hey, if Republicans want their districts under-counted so that they end up loosing seats in the House, it's fine with me.

Here's the link to the official census form. http://2010.census.gov/2010census/pdf/2010_Ques…. Has K. Kobach not read it yet, or is this just more fear mongering?

I think these pathological wingnuts would be putting the finger on postal letter carriers (yep, FEDS), if it weren't for the possibility that they'll shoot back!
