RE: Census 2010
If they decide to do so, in accordance with public law, you can be cited and fined $100 for not answering all of the 10 basic questions and $500 for providing false answers. 13 USC Sec. 221 as follows:<DIV class=clear id=abm><DIV id=abc><DIV id=articlebody>TITLE 13 - CENSUS

(b) Whoever, when answering questions described in subsection (a) of this section, and under the conditions or circumstances described in such subsection, willfully gives any answer that is false, shall be fined not more than $500.
They will contact you giving you another chance. Of course that will just cost the taxpayers more money, but what the hell, it really would be a drop in the bucket. Of course if 50 million more take your scofflaw attitude, it will be more than a drop.</DIV></DIV></DIV>
