[sasi] [Sasi] Fw: Census will begin on April 1st 2010

Sat Oct 24 00:27:42 GMT 2009

Hi. You do not have to let the sensus worker in your house. If you don't, 
you'll get a form in the mail. You do need to fill that out. They'll just 
keep coming to see you, calling you and I really don't know what happens 
otherwise but I do think people are really supposed to cooperate in some 
way.
But if you prefer, just have whomever helps you with other print mail--and I 
know we all have it and somehow deal with it--complete and send in the form.
