Census 2010 is Here – So Be Counted!

Every ten years, Uncle Sam takes a tally of every man, woman, and child in the U.S.  But the final count does more than take a snapshot of America.  The census helps determine the taxpayer dollar amounts we’ll receive from Washington over the next decade for everything from transportation and homeland security to education, health care, and social services.  Plus it determines how many seats California holds in Congress.  Census surveys will be delivered to your home this March.  The ten-question survey is safe, easy, confidential, and takes just minutes to complete.  Information won’t be used for any other outside purpose—just the census—and you don’t have to disclose your citizenship status.  So be counted!  To learn more, go here.
