As some of you may already know, the US Census is taking place this year. The US Census counts everyone residing in the United States -- in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Island Areas-- as mandated by the US Constitution every ten years. Forms have began to ship out and are due April 1st, 2010. Recent projections estimate that there are over 1 MILLION Taiwanese in the United States, but the 2000 Census recorded only 144,795 people. In order to correct this undercount a national campaign has started to inform Taiwanese people to "Write in Taiwanese" on their Census forms. Why is this important? Census data is used to distribute CONGRESSIONAL SEATS to states, to make decisions about what COMMUNITY SERVICES to provide, and to distribute $400 BILLION in federal funds to local, state and tribal governments each year. Please visit this website for more information and to view a Public Service Announcement that was filmed to bring awareness to this undercount. http://www.taiwaneseamerican.org/census2010/ Thank you and please spread the word! --
