Census 2010 is almost here and it is critical that everyone in Connecticut participate. Regardless of your age or citizenship status, every person must be counted. This is an opportunity for Connecticut to tell the world exactly who we are – a diverse and dynamic population. Be proud of the state you live in and do your part to ensure that Connecticut receives all the federal funding and the Congressional representation that it deserves.
So when you receive the census form at home, I urge you to fill it out. Federal law mandates that all responses be kept confidential. I also encourage you to pass this message onto your friends, families, colleagues and neighbors. By taking only a few minutes out of your day, you will have a lasting impact on the State of Connecticut for years to come.
Census counts will determine the amount of federal funding flowing into the state and the number of representatives that Connecticut is afforded in Congress until the next Census, ten years from now! Together, let’s ensure that Connecticut’s voices are heard in Washington and that federal monies for transportation, healthcare and education services continue to make their way into our great state. | | |
