Census officials aim to boost count

Count | 5:37 a.m. April 1, 2009

Good story, let's all be counted so we can have our piece of the pie. And why stop with the new 4th Congressional District; let's shoot for the creation of the 5th district so we can have another voice in DC. Why have those guys in CO speak for us here in Utah, when they don't have a clue what goes on here.

If you care at all about your family history, you will gladly become part of the US Census. The past census records are invaluable in doing family research. Please participate willingly. Census records are kept from the public for many years - the 1930 census is the latest one that is accessible right now, so privacy is not an issue.

I could not agree more with what the census bureau is doing. Threatening census workers with 5 years in jail and a huge fine for NOT reporting illegal activity. Good grief - a crime is a crime is a crime; whether it is illegal immigrants, illegal drugs or a bank robbery. I don't care what the supreme court said - it should go back for another hearing. Why are we counting the illegals anyway - they of all people are not entitled to ANYTHING FROM ANYONE!! When are we going to stop all this nonsense?
