For those who may not know, the U.S. Census Bureau requires us all to complete the American Community Survey (ACS). If you don't answer, you'll get reminders, and could be fined as much as $5,000 in extreme cases.

Of course, our govt absolutely sucks at protecting personal info, and now the Census Bureau is seeking to collect even MORE very sensitive and personal info.

The Rutherford Institute explains:

"the Census Bureau issued a notice of proposed information collection seeking to add questions about each household member’s level of certain disabilities, including mental disabilities, and whether they have psychosocial, cognitive, or speech disabilities. The Bureau also seeks to ask about possession of electric vehicles, use of solar panels, type of sewage disposal, and other matters."
