This type of shortsighted nonsense needs to stop. The ACS provides a great deal of data that is used, not only to inform high-level government policy, but by researchers at the local level as well. It is time to boot the teabaggers from congress and get serious about running government for the benefit of all citizens, rather than just the top 1%.REPORT COMMENTS

The ACS is a crucial tool for effective decision making in both the public and private sectors. Mandatory response is essential to ensure reliability of the data. It should NOT be the victim of political partisanship.REPORT COMMENTS

What kind of manipulations are going on to defund life resources to US citizens who are not as privileged as you in Congress? Please don't let capitalism be confused with democratic "justice for all".REPORT COMMENTS

The American Community Survey is vital for government and business to make decisions about how they will spend their money. The courts have said it's Constitutional, and we've been doing it since 1800. What could be more traditional?REPORT COMMENTS
