April 1, 2010 is The National Census Day.
As you know, the Census-2010 is in progress. It happens only once in 10 years. When you receive the census form, please fill it out and mail it in. It is important that we, as Muslims and/or minority groups, complete those forms accurately and send them in because many policy decisions, fund allocations to the cities and counties, as well as election redistricting decisions will be based on the data collected in those forms.

Before you accept anybody into your house however, please ask and view their badges and documents carefully. For more information, please visit: http://2010.census.gov/2010census/
