We are working to make participation in the American Community Survey voluntary, ensuring no one faces penalties for choosing not to respond. Our goal is to clarify this choice clearly on the survey itself.

Fine by me—letting people choose might boost trust, but let’s not kid ourselves about missing data headaches.

Voluntary sounds nice until you realize the numbers start looking like a bad Yelp review—biased and incomplete.

Less government overreach, more personal freedom; finally, a bill that respects your right to say no.

I’m all for freedom, but sometimes you gotta pay the toll for accurate policies, and mandatory surveys are the ticket.

Making the survey voluntary is like asking the fox to guard the henhouse—data gaps hurt real communities.

If the government can’t respect ‘no,’ they don’t get an inch—this bill is a breath of fresh liberty.

Government spying? Nah, thank you—making this survey voluntary is the American way.

Voluntary surveys? Great, now we’ll just guess who needs help instead of knowing for sure.

Without mandatory participation, the government’s crystal ball just got a little foggier, and so did our chance to fix inequality.
