The Census is coming! The Census is coming!

In 2010, the Federal government will conduct a country-wide census. Here is the official US Census website:

http://2010.census.gov/2010census/

Many questions are being asked about this census, for example:

Who is overseeing the census—the Secretary of Commerce (as mandated by the Constitution) or the White House?

Who will the census actually count and who is legally allowed to be counted (as mandated by the Constitution)?

Who will conduct the census/door-to-door canvassing?

Is the census asking information that is too “personal”?

Does the information that is being asked have any bearing on the final outcome, which is used to determine how many Representatives will head to Congress from your district?

We’d like to know what you know/think about the upcoming census.

This is not meant to divert discussions from the health care debate, but we do believe that this is another very important issue that “We the People” need to be concerned about, especially with the 2010 mid-term elections just around the corner.

As always, thank you for taking the time to read/respond to our post. More importantly, keep on educating yourself about what our government is up to—“ Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives”—James Madison.

God Bless America!
