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?
1. The main purpose of the census is to find out information about communities and to know how many seats their state gets in the Senate.

To help our borough plan for schools, roads and know how many chairs should be in the house of representatives. Every american shoud fill out a census form because you’re making a statement about what resources your community needs going forward.
ReplyDeleteIt is important for everyone to fill out a census paper so that Americans can get the right number of people in the world. The main idea is to find out how many people live in one house. I like the idea that they want everyone to be honest with the count. Also that you cannot get into trouble that if you say you have dead people in your house. I think that some people in the world will still not send the paper in till they get told they will have to pay a fine. Also that people will lie or miss count. When it is all finished they will be some kind of mistake in the count.
ReplyDeletethe main purpose of the census is to figure out how many people live in a certian area. its importaint because it lets the goverment know who live where
ReplyDeletethe census to me i think would be to better get to know how your house hold is run. it is a servey with questions on it asking you question about your home. they do it a very secure way too, they will not turn you in for anything you put on the census. Americans should fill out the census so that the government can get to know its people.
ReplyDeletethe census calculates the population of a country which can be used for many things, such as locating places to put public service facilities like schools, post offices, roads, libraries, jobs, hospitals. It also helps with funding for the whole country. It's important to fill it out becuase the more accurate it is the more funding you will recieve
