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

Sat Oct 24 00:44:15 GMT 2009

Jessey,
I don't have a problem with the paperwork, but people knocking on my door 
and/or calling me is a different matter. I firmly believe we need the sensus 
and the supporting info that can be gained by this, but with all the scams 
that go on these days, its hard to trust folks at my door or on the 
telephone with whom I can not varify their validity or true representation.

Theresa
