Not so fast... Where I live we do have a mailing address but it is in NO WAY PHYSICALLY ATTACHED to my property !
My work location... well, I know where it is. Put in the address into a Google map and it shows up 12 miles down the highway, and on the other side of the road.
Google and the Crapgadget... when privacy matters.

Ya... type any address on my mountain in google earth and you'd be lucky if google even shows you the right mountain. I love it. That's one of the reasons they are physically gathering info... won't be long before the data is correctly updated.
Any GPS unit on my house will be taken to a field and blown away with my 12-gauge. Fun.
Geeez, people! They are not going to leave a GPS unit at your house. They are going to use a GPS unit to mark the coordinates of your house. My goodness. Have we got that squared away?
Call me an idiot, but I don't see the big deal. So what if they know the coordinates of my house? Heck, my address is in the phone book, either way they know who and where I am.
I am doing temporary work for the census and I assure you I do not belong to Acorn. Do you not realize that the census....by law...must be done every 10 years and has been done every 10 years since 1780? Do you think Acorn was doing it in 1780? Do you know anything about our country's laws? The census is done to determine the number of representatives to congress each district will have. The reason that we temporary census workers are going door to door with our little hand held computers is to make certain that every dwelling place is counted so that census forms can be mailed next year. It is the same exact thing that happens every 10 years except now we do it via computers instead of paper and pencil.
I don't mind if the government knows where I live. I really do not have anything to hide and I do not, knowingly anyway, engage in illegal activities. I hope they pass the knowlege down to local municipalities so when I call 911 they know where to send the rescue squad.
Just what is driving the conservative paranoia? The government does not care where you are unless you ask for help.
This is not about some radical left wing "community organization" hijacking the census. This is about the Federal Government getting bigger and bolder. Everyday they want more and more from us. They want to know our every action. They Want POWER over us!
When will Americans take back their Nation?

Take it back by the brave and noble act of not being counted?
