Comments on: After 2000’s Undercount, Census Workers Redouble Effort in Montana for 2010
Let’s be civil.
The Flathead Beacon encourages vigorous discussion and lively debate, but we will delete comments that attack other readers, make accusations we can’t verify, stray too far off topic, criticize local businesses (call them if you have a problem), convict someone of a crime, use profanity or are simply judged to be in bad taste. We don’t always have someone moderating comments, so we ask for your help: If you see a comment that violates these ground rules, or you simply deem it offensive, please e-mail webmaster [at] flatheadbeacon.com.

The views expressed in the comments section do not reflect those of the Beacon.

Let’s hope we can bring that down below 50% this time and they can keep their/our money. Wake up people!! Do you honestly think this is good use of tax-payer dollars. Just say NO to the 2010 Census

Paladin-ette is obviously not a patriotic American who believes in the US Constitution.

“The United States Constitution mandates that a census be taken at least once every ten years, and that the number of members of the United States House of Representatives from each state be apportioned accordingly.”

I corrected the above story to reflect that Montana’s response rate ranked it 20th in the nation, and clarified that an accurate count in 2010 could net the state $4,000 per person.

I also corrected the above story to reflect that John Donoghue is a resident of Kalispell, not Columbia Falls. Guess I’m having a tough week.

Just so we are clear:
The poster Paladin-ette above is NOT the same as Paladinette the Unemployed Zealot who is fighting for the rights of the Long Term Unemployed in America.
To not answer the census is against the law and thus I must encourage all Americans to promptly complete & Return their 2010 Census forms.
