I COMPLETELY AGREE with your implications/statement that we live in a "representative democracy", and that more central information increases the ability of this sort of regime to "function".

I long for the restoration, however, of a "representative republic".

It ended with a website reference in a bunch of different languages. I can read three, recognized others, but the two above the bottom one mystify me. Filipino? Katakana?

DECLARATION

I hereby affirm that the provisions of Title 13 requiring me to disclose my race, personal financial data, birth date, or any other personal, private
information to the Bureau of the Census, an agency of the United States government, constitutes an unreasonable and unwarranted search of my person,
house, papers, and/or effects; and a governmental invasion of the sanctity of my home and the privacies of life. As such, these provisions violate the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution, and are thus wholly void and I am not bound to obey them.

I have completed only those sections of the Census form, or will answer questions, pertaining to that which is constitutionally mandated and actually
enumerated in the US Constitution, as follows:

1. The actual number of people living at the address printed on the form, excluding untaxed Native Americans;

2. Age of each person in accordance with US Const. Amendment XIV, Section 2;

3. Sex of each person, in accordance with US Const. Amendment XIV, Section 2.

I have thus fulfilled my obligation to the attainment of the actual enumeration of the populace of the United States.

Any fine or other sanction that is levied by any office or organization stemming from the unconstitutional provisions of Title 13 in connection with my response to this or any other Census-related questioning will be challenged in a court of law.

Further: on March 28, 2000, US District Judge Melinda Harmon granted a temporary restraining order against prosecution of any American who chooses not to answer questions other than the number of people living at their address.

The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and name of law, is in reality no law, but is wholly void. Unconstitutional law bears no power to enforce, it purports to settle as if it never existed, for unconstitutionality dates from the enactment of such a law,
and not such time as branded in an open court of law. It confers no rights; it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal
contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed. No courts are bound to uphold it and no persons are bound to obey it. (Source: 16 Am Jur 256.)

You are trespassing upon my property and must leave immediately or face arrest. You have no inherent right to be on my property, even though you are from the government. In Boyd v. United States (116 U.S. 616, 630), the Fourth and Fifth Amendments were described as protection against all governmental invasions “of the sanctity of a man's home and the privacies of life.” Your continued and persistent violations of my right to privacy are a violation of the Fourth and Fifth Amendments and I will bring suit against you personally for violating my civil and constitutional rights.

About one week from now, you will receive 2010 Census form in the mail. When you receive your form, please fill it out and mail it promptly.

Your response is important. Results from the 2010 Census will be used to help each community get its fair share of government funds for highways, schools, health facilities, and many other programs you and your neighbors need. Without a complete, accurate census, your community may not receive its fair share.
