Lots of Comment!!

Now,we have established that non-compliance could result in a $5000 fine.I don't have a yellow sheet in front of me,and I don't know if being charged with breaking a federal law with a maximum penalty of $5000 could potentially tieup a background check.

There is a woman Senator(I think) who has this issue on her website.I think she is in Washington State.Among the questions on the long questionaire,to be administered by Acorn(can a felon work for ACORN) are the names and phone numbers of all in the household,what hour/minute do you leave for work? What hour/minute do you return home?They do not ask,"Are you a US citizen?

I believe in choosing battles wisely,but not being a doormat.It would be great if a few million Americans said "No"

But,it would be terrible if they failed the next background check

My capacity to think "Oh,there is nothing to worry about,they wouldn't do that...."
Is rapidly evaporating.
