Tea Party could cost GOP in census

[240 is Back]

Republicans were thrilled when Tea Party-backed Scott Brown won a special election to capture Ted Kennedy's Senate seat in Massachusetts.

But they're not quite as thrilled with the Tea Party now. Angst at the government in power may fuel some conservatives to boycott the US census, costing their party coveted seats in Congress for years to come. Republicans could also lose seats in state legislatures if districts are redrawn.

The US population count, done every ten years, determines how House seats are allocated and informs distribution of federal funding.

Why anyone cares about not filling out the census is retarded.They have all that information already.I wouldnt fill out the other longer form that they send out to 250,000 people a year where they ask how many times you flush the toilet etc.but the census is info they have when you get your license.

Too bad the redrawing of districts will not be done in time for the November elections, despite what liberal fools believe or say.
