2010 Census

Well, the 2010 Census forms have begun arriving. I got mine yesterday. Please make sure that you take the five minutes (or less) that's required to fill out this form and return it as soon as possible.

Participation in the decennial is required by law. The goal of the US Census Bureau is to count every man, woman, and child living in the United States as of 4/1/2010 (Census Day). This count is important in many ways. The results of the census are used to determine, among other things, the amount of Representatives in the House of Representatives in Washington, distribution of federal funding to the states, counties, and, most importantly, the local governments.

Don't forget - complete your form and mail it in. Otherwise, you will be getting a visit from a census taker sometime in the early summer.
