Be Sure and Be Counted

Ready or Not ...
The Census is Coming!
Take Action Now:
The 2010 census forms will be arriving in the mail next week. Be sure to tell your family and friends to fill out their forms and mail them back to ensure your community receives much-needed federal funding.
What if in 10 minutes you could help secure federal funding to support education, health care, housing and economic development in your community? By filling out the 10 questions on your census form when it comes in the mail next week (starting March 15) and mailing it back, you can help your neighborhood, city, and state. Counting every person living in this country is a huge job and we need everyone’s participation!
If every member of your community is not counted in the census, we all lose. Each person who doesn’t get counted could cost the community more than $14,000 in urgently needed resources over the next 10 years. In the 2000 census, nearly 16 million people went uncounted. Most of the people not counted came from low-income and minority populations.
In addition to allocating funds, the census affects your voice in Congress. Census data is used to adjust the number of districts per state and the number of representatives your state has in Congress. Imagine what a powerful, positive impact we can have by making sure that each person in our families, neighborhoods, and communities is counted!
Be sure to tell your family and friends to fill out their census forms and mail them back. Make sure you and your community count.
