You are required to give a number, that's it. As in "There are 2 people living at this residence".

Kenneth Prewitt, Director Bureau of Census Washington DC 20233-2000

Dear Mr.Prewitt:

Thank you for your interest in the age of and racial composition of my household. While I understand your assertion that this information is needed to facilitate the redistribution of wealth from those who earned it to those who did not, I respectfully decline to participate in this portion of the US Census 2000 program.
However, as per the requirements of Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3 of the United States Constitution, I have submitted the number of persons in my household to help enable proper apportionment of our US Congressional representation. I feel that the other information you requested grossly exceeds the intent of enumeration described in the above stated clause.
     My age, sex, and racial origin have nothing to do with how many Congressmen our state will receive to represent us or how any direct taxes shall be levied against our state.
Furthermore, whether or not I am male, female, black, white, green or blue ought not have anything to do with how much of the money Georgians earned will be returned to our community for education, roads, hospitals, child care etc.      
     Any government assistance programs that rely on race as a factor of who should receive benefits would seem to be in direct violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Respectfully,

your name here
