Don't Forget!
Today is the deadline to do something very important...send in your US Census Form.
What is the census? First, read this to find out.
Does the 2010 Census asks lots of intrusive, personal questions? Is it true that the Census Bureau has no constitutional authority to ask us these things? Lots of claims have been flying around the internet about the Census. Check out this video below from factcheck.org for the real scoop:
After watching the video, answer the following questions in the comment section:
1. What is the main purpose of the census?
2. Why should every American household fill out a census form?
The main purpose for the census is to tae account for every citizen living in an area. Every one should take the census just incase a grant was given out by the population.
ReplyDeletei believe that the government is asking alot of personal questions but they also have the right to do it. i have a theory that they are asking these questions so they can be able to understand the average american person/family.
ReplyDelete1. The main purpose of the Census is to keep up to date with their citizens and it has been going on for centuries now, so it's apart of tradition.
ReplyDelete2. Every American should fill it out because I don't think anyone wants a stupid $5,000 fine when they could've avoided it by just simply filling the form out.
The census helps confirm town and city population. Every family should fill out a census because it will benefit they're town, city, state, etc...
ReplyDeleteThe main purpose of the census is that it determines the number of seats of each state in the House and in the Senate. It is also used to plan public services such as schools and roads. Also, the census data is used to help people who suffer from cancer, and other victims.
ReplyDeleteFilling out the census isn't just important but it's mandatory. And it doesn't violate the constitution.
