US Census to be tied to massive GPS address database

The Census Bureau says not to fear the men with the handheld computers. In preparation for the 2010 census armies of temporary workers are fanning out across the nation to "verify" more than 145 million street addresses. Their aim is to associate every street address with GPS coordinates, and then cross reference it with the demographic data that gets collected as they count noses.

So now ACORN (yes, they were hired by Rahm Emanuel to conduct the census) will have access to all kinds of extremely personal data about you, and the government will conveniently correlate it for them with your GPS location. That's just what we need, a bunch of loyal Obamabots gaining access to the ultimate community organizing database.

When it comes to the original intent of the Founding Fathers, an enumeration of the population was never supposed to be so intrusive. Tying GPS and census data together is one step away from implanting each of us with an RFID chip. It's an outrage and if we value our privacy we should refuse to cooperate.
