Have You Been Counted Yet? NO? You're Not Alone

Haven't been counted yet?  No, You're not alone.  Apperently, you are among the 93% of the residents of Central Texas that has not filled out and turned in their 2010 Census Forms. 

What are you waiting for?  The Census Worker's to come knock on your door?  Well, that's what they will have to do if you don't return the form in the next week.  What a waste of time and money when you could just take 10 minutes and complete the form and drop it in the mail. 

Don't want Federal Dollars to benefit your communitity?  Good, cause by not participating in the Census you're going to insure that your state, county, city and school district is going to loose out. 

Sadly, Census Workers are reporting that only 7% of the estimated Central Texans have returned their forms.   That is going to result in an even worse than the pitiful 68% participation in 2000 Census. 

Just fill out the form ok?  Don't obsess over it, just fill it out with your best information and send it on.  You and your local government entities will thank you with improved services.

Hi Mike~  I filled mine out the day I got it and I returned it the very same day.  Why put it off?

It is so easy to fill it out. Not sure why someone would not fill it out.

Mike - I agree folks should just fill it out and help their communities out.  Lots of fear going on?  Seems that way...

Mike:

I think there is a lot of fear in some minority communities about the census. My wife filled out ours.

That is some scary low numbers for returns on the census. I wonder what the reason is?
