I randomly received a letter from the US Census telling me that I have to fill out an on-line survey called the "American Community Survey". I really have no problem with the gathering of statistics by the census bureau, but this fricking thing is supposed to take 40 minutes to fill out. It says that I am required by law to fill it out, but I really don't want to spend an hour answering questions.

Has anyone heard of this before?

Sounds like a load of shite. They can't make you answer anything.

Ignore it and they will start calling and eventually end up at your doorstep. Been there done that. Asks crazy questions like
How many toilets you have also. Good luck, they are very persistent about it.

I got one. It didn't take too long and I only had to give them my social security number, but no credit card info so no big deal.

They want to know how many guns you have.

Technically you could go to jail, but probably not. What they'll really do is keep escalating--phone calls, and eventually a census worker will come knock on your door in person. You'll give in at some point and answer the damn questions just to get them out of your hair.
