The U.S. Census Bureau began mailing advance letters to about 120 million addresses nationwide, notifying households that 2010 Census forms will be arriving March 15-17. The one-page letter urges households to complete the 10-question census form when it arrives and to return it in the accompanying prepaid envelope as soon as possible.

10 Questions, 10 Minutes
With the Census around the corner, when the time comes we ask you to fill out your Census form and forward this Action Alert onto friends, especially to our Senior Citizens, college students and new immigrants in our community.
Census directly affects the distribution of more than $400 billion in federal funds annually to communities for schools, transportation, public health and other vital social programs, such as English-language education and job training. Additionally, not only is Census data used for reapportionment, it also factors significantly into the drawing of congressional, state and local districts (redistricting).
You can get more information about the Census by clicking this link: www.census.gov
You can also download the pdf format of the JACL Census 2010 brochure at Counting the Japanese American Community , please distribute as widely as possible.

Messaging for the NRFU campaign assures all that Census takers are sworn to secrecy and that they are there to help.
