Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann told the Washington Times that she and her family will not be fully filling out the 2010 census forms.

Bachmann, a Republican, said her family will only be indicating the number of people in the household, because “the Constitution doesn’t require any information beyond that.”

Bachmann believes the upcoming census to be “very intricate” and “very personal” and expresses concerns about ACORN’s involvement in the data collection. The community organizing program came under scrunity after charges of voter registration fraud during the 2008 presidential elections.

Bachmann has claimed the $8.5 billion available multiple times, but it should be noted that the St. Petersburg Times’ affiliated fact check Web site, Politifact.com, disputes its accuracy.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Bachmann may be in trouble if she fails to fill out the entire census.

Spokeswoman Shelly Lowe told the Washington Times that anyone over the age of 18 must fill out all the questions and any such person who refuses to answer “any of the questions” faces a $5,000 fine.

Bachmann and other republicans fear that money earmarked to help neighborhoods fix up abandoned houses so people who were hit hardest by Bush’s irresponsible economic policies could have someplace to live, would instead go to rig voter registration? Boy, talk about conspiracy nuts.

Michelle COULD become nominee for president (shudder).
Michelle COULD be hailed a hero for standing up to the bad ole Census Bureau.
Michelle COULD have her seat taken away for being a nutjob.
The likelihood of any of these things happening is very slim.
Michelle, trying to find an issue with some legs to further your career? How about doing something constructive like helping people get back to work.

God, the paranoia is astounding. LOL

Lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit documenting ACORN's crooked practices is not paranoia.
