The Department of Commerce must ignore any information their process was not designed to accept. It is likely that the stickers will jam automated scanning.<br /><br />Best case scenario: the stickers are ignored.<br /><br />Worst case scenario: use of the stickers is blamed for ever increasing budget overruns in the decennial census.<br /><br />There are other population enumerations that the Department of Commerce performs at the request of Congress. Work through your elected representatives to press for collection of information about sexual preference. Gumming up the works for the sake of gumming up the works is political vandalism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-37332957842833363762010-01-24T19:00:05.315-05:002010-01-24T19:00:05.315-05:00This is a terrific idea.

I know it will be a thrill for me to check "wife" for both of us, too. And yes, the resistance factor is a plus. The government needs to see how many American GLBTQ couples are affected by the failure to have nationwide marriage equality with ALL the rights and responsibilities given to heterosexual couples.Merlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283909106769808555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-21895049729698147652009-11-19T07:57:32.179-05:002009-11-19T07:57:32.179-05:00This is extremely important, not just for fairness...This is extremely important, not just for fairness' sake, but for history's sake. Documentation is essential in being remembered as part of history. Can't wait to check of "husband" for two reasons: (1) the thrill of it and (2) the quiet message of resistance because, of course, the federal government, which issues the census, does not recognize my marriage.Ken Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15508221606124360658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-28433653454733607082009-11-18T21:40:06.175-05:002009-11-18T21:40:06.175-05:00I can't remember the last time I got a census ...I can't remember the last time I got a census form.
