On February 12, 2009, I joined Republican Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and other ranking Republicans in the creation of the Republican Census Task Force created by Boehner and the Republican Conference. The task force is comprised of the three ranking members of the House Committee Oversight and Government Relations, the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on the House Administration. Additionally, one member from each of the three committees has been designated to the task force.
The creation of this task force is necessary to ensure a fair census for every American citizen. America deserves real counts – not estimates or extrapolations. Every citizen has the right to be counted in the census that will take place in 2010.
The 2010 Decennial Census has far reaching implications. The results of the census will impact the drawing of district lines, apportionment of members to the House of Representatives, and the distribution of monies to state and local governments.
Below, I have provided links to detailed information compliments of the U.S. Census Bureau that will help you walk through the census process and answer frequently asked questions. Please take a moment to learn about how the 2010 survey will differ from previous years.
