I haven't answered yet they KEEP sending me mail over and over saying I'm am required by law to answer. I wish they would leave me the hell alone. I don't want to fill it out.
After six or seven months of ignoring them and sending their mail back to them, they are still harassing me. Today I come home from work only to find a "Request for Interview" form attached to my door. A William Hardgrove (Field Rep) wants me to call him at my convenience. I am not going to call him. They think that if they keep harassing you that you will give in and give them what they want just to get them off your back.
We have been singled out by the census to fill out this questioner with questions about children in our house. There are no children here we are all adults! I just got another one today. My question is why are they really pressuring people and fact finding?
This is happening to me right now… I felt like being harassed. A lady stood up in front of my door for a minute, I’ve only noticed coz my dog kept barking and he does that only when someone he doesn’t know standing right at the door… the lady didn’t even knocked on my door at all just stood there. And when I opened the door the lady was standing outside my door and told me I needed to answer the census survey. I’ve asked her if it was voluntary (which I knew) and she No!!! I just closed my door coz I knew she was lying 😡😡😡 I’ve already told one of them I’m not answering it since it’s voluntary and just like that lady said on the video they wouldn’t stop at all
Apr 5th 2020 I'm being harassed currently by the Census Bureau.. Portland Oregon... they have posted written letters and have gone through our trash to find the census information/ then repost it at our door with handwritten letters saying that we have to fill this out...... we are supposed to be in quarantine right now why are you having the Census Bureau at my front door harassing me
Did you ever get them to stop and how? I live in Eugene and am going through this now. I have emailed their district headquarters in California and am still being harrassed.
I called the police on one of them and they tried to walk away. I made her stay. The cops told her to lay off. They know they're harassing us. This country was good but is now a piece of shit.
I WAS HARRASSED AS WELL!!!! I FEEL THEY SHOULD STOP HARASSING CITIZENS IN THEIR HOME....THEY SHOULD GO TO ALL THE ( HOMELESS) CAMPS AROUND THIS SO CALLED GREAT COUNTRY WE LIVE IN AND COUNT ( ALL) THE POOR HOMELESS PEOPLE LIVING ON THE STREETS OF ( AMERICA)!!!!! 🙏
And if you have the stupidity to come to my house you're not going to like what l have to say.this is private property and you will be charged with criminal trespass.
This same exact thing happened to me a few years ago. It was unbelievable. I had to move for them to stop. I even found my inside door from my garage wide open, which I closed and locked on my way out to work. The guy wouldn’t leave me alone, exactly like this woman. I couldn’t get over it. I called and said leave me alone. I did everything to say no, yet nothing change. Complete harassment for months until I moved away.
They're doing the same thing to me right now. I've had four calls from them in the last four days. It's been going on for a couple of years. They'll go away after I say no 10 times then they start all over. We do the regular census every 10 years and that's fine, but this NCVS crime survey census is voluntary yet they treat you like it's manditory. I told one of the workers the only crime I've had committed against me is being harassed, bullied and stalked by their agents!
Census keeps sending me American Community Survey and reminder letters/cards about once a week. I keep ignoring them, and sending that shit through the paper shredder!
The ACS is a mandatory survey. When you don't answer your hurting the development of your community. I don't know much about the Crimes Victims Survey. The only one that's mandatory is the American Community Survey. If you're uncomfortable with answering some of the questions, then don't answer those. It's fine. But don't deny your community the opportunity to grow. Not answering it is how areas end up without ambulance services or the elderly are forced to move several miles away from home due to the lack of retirement homes.
The Census really needs to be more forthright with the public about how they do these special surveys...and why. They do tell them in an advance letter that participation is voluntary. What they DON'T tell them is that once their address is selected the field reps are expected to contact them, repeatedly, until the term of the survey is reached (which is usually a period of many months) or they contact their regional census office and request to be removed from the sample. But I think we can all figure out why they don't.
Follow the money!!! I won't ever trust a Census Rep. to punch in my answers on their iPad. They could be punching in what answers they want to get funds for programs they want! Ridiculous!!!
They have been to my house 7 times now. The first time I was on my way out the door and I told him I want to participate and I left. The next time he comes by in the middle of the day when my wife is trying to work from home. With the dog freaking out and her phone ringing off the hook, she tells him the same thing, No thank you we don't want to participate. Now on the 7th time its just become harassment. I told him he was trespassing and the next time I will call the police.
What if census people keep bothering even though you already filled it out online?!? Several people keep knocking on my door and at 8pm esp I don't like that! I repeatedly tell them my husband filled it out already online and to stop. One lady said "lemme make it real easy on you then...how many people in your household? What's your name?" I said NO and shut the damn door. Wtf
@@renalopez6672 This happened to me. I literally received a handful of requests - I filled out the long form. I received 2 threatening letters and was assigned a personal census gestapo worker. Then, she confirmed they did receive it. I still received more letters and requests to fill out. You think I trust mail-in voting now? LOL. This is fucking nuts. They finally fucked off in July.
@@katenizri5239 LMAO heck no!! OMG they're insane. I thought it was voluntary. I heard they're so persisitent bcz the state wants more funding bcz of Covid but they're Fkn harassing us!! One of them was my neighbor! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ Now I just printed out my confirmation form that I filled it out and taped it to my front door😒
I have filled the census out many times but every few months i get another one,lol, i seem to remember the census used to be taken every 6 years or something like that, funny thing is i live alone,i wouldn't be much fun to be part of a census, they need to find someone with 5 kids and several relatives all living under the same roof,now thats would be a census. On another note, what is wrong with that interviewer?
I just reported tp the census number that I have had 3 census takers come and i am getting frustrated and harassed. The first one had a mask on...showed me her badge and was professional. I have had 2 more show up unprofessional with no protective gear when i cant even go to the store without a mask. And neither can they. I do blame the census takers when they could be bringing the virus To my front door.
@@angeelee9277 How do you report them? I did my census online earlier in the year and this is the first week they've came to my house (3 times this week) talking about doing an unemployment/employment survey. I only answered the door once and now the guy keeps coming back and banging on the door, then walks away and comes back to ring the door bell.
@@mmarie5947 sorry to hear that. Call your mayor's office...our state is under executive order to do so. I think I had 3 visits when I posted but I also got one more. So I have had 4 now. The last one that came knocked but I refused to answer the door. That is the best way to do it for an immediate result. We have already complied and this is harassment and dangerous when they don't wear the mask. Best way....ignore them. That will nip it in the bud. Best wishes. Stay safe.
The census bureau has racist questions on it.this is a free country,l am a veteran l fought for my right to privacy and you lazy census people didn't pay for my house,so stay out of my business
@LibertyIsDead yeah, and one of those limited powers is to trespass. I dare you to harm a census worker. I've seen your kind, I'm not surprised. I don't like the questions any more than the next person, but it's not my place to care. My place is to do my job and ask the questions. If someone refuses, I just mark it down as a refusal and let the bureau do the rest. As for the need of a census, you couldn't be further from wrong. Without the census, we'd have no way of knowing how to allocate representatives per state in order to represent each state in Congress. Always has been that way and always will every 10 years (Edited a typo)
Omg...the victimhood. Lol It is a once in a 10 year "inconvenience". It is important and frankly a responsibility of an American citizen. Just go online and get it done and they will stop "harassing" you. Lol
They dont leave you alone, i have filled it out out 3 times in the last 4 years and they are still bothering me,never ends, once your house is picked your screwed, it has nothing to do with you,they pick your residence by a algorithm.
i get the annoyance of someone coming all the time, that shouldnt happen, but i dont think the importance of the participation is stressed enough. this is how different regions get federal funding among other things. lets say u have 1000 homeless people in a 40k city. if all the honeless people refuse to participate, there wont be funding for homeless people so they get nothing, while another area with the same amount of people, if the homeless take the surveys the government will know theyre there and theres a homeless issue. the census is a year round thing, not just every 10 years, and there arr different types. not participating is killing your community. if everyone has her attitude, that city/county could lose thoudands of federal funding. and for what? she doesnt even have to fill out her name. knowing the number of people living in the dwelling is the most important part. im not for the harrassment either way, but its a bit silly and i cant believe this sillyness made news lol
This woman like so many others is misinformed. She’s the one making this effort more expensive by NOT participating. That results in the govt paying field reps additional hourly rates + mileage for each attempted phone call or visit plus the mailings. Just cooperate and allow the Census Bureau to do what it’s tasked with, which is measuring various aspects of the population. She was randomly selected to represent her neighborhood with survey responses. You’d think she’d be interested in the crime rate of her community. Who isn’t?
Oh come on. You can't answer a few questions pertaining to crime or victimolgy in your neighborhood? When a crime is committed close to home you will be the first to scream about it, when it takes to long for a response. What do you think these surveys are for? To increase funding in needed areas!! It's your choice!
That’s the things I’m going through it and it has nothing to do with crime. They wanna know your health insurance see u left handed or right how many rooms in apartment that has nothing to do with the community
Then I hope they come to you one day and you don't mind them knocking at your door at 7 pm! The survey is 8 months long. Every month they will hound you with questions. Funding in needed areas? BULL. That's what they want you to believe. Funding goes where THEY (government) want it to go.
The government has no right to harass citizens! This woman is great.
This Government is way out of control. Never trust these Government bastards!
Stand your ground! Boycott the surveys
I haven't answered yet they KEEP sending me mail over and over saying I'm am required by law to answer. I wish they would leave me the hell alone. I don't want to fill it out.
Erehistruth same here,.do we get fined if we don't answer?

Its like Nazi Germany
Holy Spirit warned me not to do the census and brought up nazi germany as reference.

Yes. We're going to have to stand up together more and more. Or divided,we will fall.

I feel her frustration!
This is happening to me now. When she calls again I'm cussing her out!
Did the census worker come by your house? They have been coming by my house multiple times.
The NCVS is "not" required to be completed by anyone. The "regular Census" must be completed once every 10 years.
We don't live in nazi Germany.
I got one of these, and was also harassed and threatened with prison!

Wait ... so it's required by law or is it voluntary? The envelope says required by law.
the headcount census is mandatory by law every 10 years and we are in a census year

Because it’s their job. It’s how they pay their bills. If they don’t make their quota, they get fired and loose income. Does anybody think about that?

@LibertyIsDead tell that to politicians, not census workers. Census workers do as their told by the bureau. I'd know because I am one

Hey meathead, this isn't the regular census which you refer to. Do some research and take a shower so that you might clear your brain.
