Mine also went in the trash..they dont need to know who I am or how many live here..if they care so much about it, then they can buy me a new house and pay all my bills to boot.
Amen!! I was going to fill one out I thought I was only going to have to say how many people lived in my household, not all the names to boot. I want to stay under the radar as much as possible with this govt.

What this country needs is more people willing to stand up and tell this govt where to go.

The census is essential to plan services, to have a functional infrastructure and planned economic recovery/growth.
Perhaps people who object to being counted should not count, and can be provided with the service of removal of citizenship and export to a country that does not perform a census.
It would be interesting to verify later whether India (over 1 billion people, did its first census last year) has a better participation rate and more reliable results than the US.
