Census 2010 - Strictly Confidential? - Hardly

If you are actually searching for more reasons to skip Census 2010, here’s one.

When the US Government rounded up Japanese-Americans in 1942, they used the “supposedly private” census data to tell the soldiers how many Japanese lived on each block. The Census Bureau handed out the data needed to put them into prison camps or otherwise be harassed. Reams of information came from the “strictly confidential” census. In 1943, a direct tabulation of “Every Japanese person living in Washington, DC”, including name, address, sex, age, marital status, citizenship, profession, and employer, all taken directly from individual census records, was provided to the Secret Service. Throughout the war, individuals “of interest” to the FBI and Secret Service were looked up, and their private information was released for purposes of government harassment.

I’ve mentioned skipping Census 2010 here, here, here, and here.  I urge you to express your disgust with the United States government by skipping Census 2010.  It is a peaceful and polite form of civil disobedience.
