Not sure how that counted...or if I'm on yet another list

Good point. Currently probating different estates and kept receiving Census mail and cards at each house location here, my house is in a different State, so Just threw away the notifications along with the masses of junk mail. One Saturday or perhaps a Sunday I pulled up to one of the houses and parked across the street was an individual who by all appearances was doing a stakeout. He approached and with the air of authority explained he was with the census and started to interrogate me. I stopped him and explained I had received dozens of the census reporting cards and had no intention of filling them out as I was not a resident. I could see he was exasperated so I started interrogating him. Turned out he was a temporary worker for the census and worked and lived in the neighborhood where the houses were and took it upon himself to follow up in the form of a personal investigation. He lived in a near by apartment and was either retired or unemployed, don’t recall. I explained it would not be legitimate for me to submit any of the mailings and why. He was full of some power he had ordained himself with and to this day I have no idea if he didn’t submit every address I described.
Probably a good look into their latest scheme...
The kind of power that corrupts.
