I wonder if they will make it illegal to ask a census worker if they ae affiliated with ACORN. Maybe hey could call it hate speech.
Not only is not illegal, your local PD will tell you that it is good safety practice to verify the credentials of anyone coming to your door that you have not scheduled to be there.
Imagine the fun of having the ACORNian holding their census credentials up to the totally useless peephole, then telling them to sip it through the mail slot. Even if they keep it on their neckcord you could yank it a few times.
Then try to find the right phone number to verify the identity of a census worker! 'Cause as we all learned, we NEVER use the phone number they give us, because it's probably either Bubba's cell or their babymomma's corner payphone.
When you cannot get verification, call 911 and report a possible attempted home invasion. Heck, for all you know it could really be one, right?
This could be more fun that comparing GPS readings with the front-door verifiers that are currently our crisscrossing the country. A reading that's off by a few seconds could mean reports that you are in fact either living on your front lawn or literally in the street. Try to reconcile being homeless with the fact that you have a McMansion just a few seconds of angle away, or vice versa.
stay safe.
