My argument from a prior thread if she leads a boycott, it may cause the Republicans to loose some seats... but of course the fable of ACORN coming to your door may provide her with more political hysteria and capitol especially after they take away her district...

if there is a change then the righties will all say it is about the way they poll or other such nonsense, and the short term memory of what Bachman said will automatically become a non-factor.

GOP House Trio Urges Bachmann to Reverse Boycott of Census - Roll Call

Quote:

Three House Republicans on the subcommittee overseeing the 2010 Census are asking Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) to reverse her decision to boycott the national population count, fearing others will follow her lead.

“Boycotting the constitutionally mandated Census is illogical, illegal and not in the best interest of our country,” Reps. Patrick McHenry (N.C.), Lynn Westmoreland (Ga.) and John Mica (Fla.), members of the Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Information Policy, Census and National Achieves, said in a statement Wednesday.

“[A] boycott opens the door for partisans to statistically adjust Census results,” the trio’s statement said. “The partisan manipulation of census data would irreparably transform the Census from being the baseline of our entire statistical system into a tool used to wield political power in Washington.”

All the hysteria over a Senator who hasn't worked one day in Congress, yet, Minnesota has this lunatic congresswoman constantly getting in the news with statements like these.
I've never heard anyone from government tell us not to take a census, actually just the opposite. How embarrassing.
