Your census forms said you were invited? Mine requested the same info and said
it was mandatory.
My business is an LLC and I am organized under the IRS as an S-Corp. Last year
I received a questionnaire that wanted all kinds of info about my business. I
think it was from the department of commerce.
I don't get it.

I hear that. My wife and I had a very serious conversation when we were
"chosen" ("you've been chosen") for the special US census survey that asked all
kinds of private details (mortgage values, commute times, home values, medical
insurance information, etc), and filling it out was required by law under
threat of both fines and jail time for not complying. It was the spammiest
thing I've ever gotten outside of
please-helpme-move-massive-sum-to-your-bank-account emails. My wife and I
began a very serious discussion about how far we were willing to go to protest
the intrusive census; a survey we felt was far in excess of the census
designated in the constitution. We wrote letters to our representatives, made
a stink on facebook, talked to everyone we knew about it, and began making
backup plans in case things got ugly. We had a number of sleepless nights, and
were very grateful to Ron Paul for proposing that participation in the census
be changed
from mandatory to voluntary, and the federal penalties dropped.
We all probably did the same thing last year with the SOPA fiasco. We wrote
letters, signed petitions, blacked-out websites. Granted, writing letters is
not likely to quickly return us to the glory days of the late 18th century, but
the response I've seen from the untold number of people writing letters has
been surprising to me.
