Bachmann Rants About the Census on the Glenn Beck Show

Politicususa.com: Michele Bachmann was on Glenn Beck’s Fox News show today, and the result was an absolute panic over the 2010 Census. Beck worried that by not filling out the Census the government could take away his gun. Bachmann also continued to claim that the Census information could used to put Americans into internment camps. Beck tried to worry people with the threat of a fine for not filling out the Census. Beck asked if there are any other ramifications for not filling out the Census. Bachmann answered, “Let me give you two ramifications Glenn, the US Census Department told my office that if you fail to fill out this form, you will receive approximately six contacts from them either through phone calls or they will knock on your door. If you still do not give them the information they said they will contact your neighbor to the left of you, to the right of you to get information.” UPDATE: Listen to MPR's Cathy Wurzer discuss Bachmann and the Census: U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., says she will leave most of her U.S. Census survey blank next year, even though that violates the law. Bachmann told Fox News she is "just not comfortable" answering questions about income and commuting time. MPR's Cathy Wurzer discusses the situation with a Census Bureau official.
