April Snapshot

The result of the Census is a snapshot of our country. The 2010 Census will be the first in US history in which same-sex couples can identify themselves as married. Make sure you and your family arent left out of the picture.

The information the Census collects helps to determine how more than $400 billion dollars of federal funding each year is spent on infrastructure and services like schools, community centers, hospitals, emergency services, public works projects, and senior centers.

"The benefits of an accurate census go well beyond equitable federal funds flows. They include fair congressional apportionment, more intelligent public policy at all government levels, and a stronger economy." -The Brookings Institute

Very cool! LGBT families need to stand up and be counted!!

i'll comply--I'm not a redneck teabagger. But they don't want to know who is gay--more stay in the closet bigotry. When I move to Spain or Canada will they notice?
