The Census and the Constitution

Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution of the United States of America (in part):

The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct.

Enough said.

Every household should fill out the census. It is used for the legitimate and lawful purpose of determining the apportionment of the Congress. If you don't like the question about race, write in "American" or any thing else truthful, but fill it out. It's a legitimate exercise of the Congress' authority.
