The Richmond Hill 2010 Census Committee has kicked off with a big bang its media campaign on Thursday Feb. 4th at the Villa Russo at Lefferts Blvd and 101st Avenue to educate our community about the importance of filling out the 2010 Census form.
Let me stress that it is extremely pivotal that each one of us in Richmond Hill and surrounding areas spread the word of the 2010 Census. We need to impose on our people that it is time that they take a couple of minutes to fill the 10 questions on the 2010 Census form and mail them back in to the Census Bureau. There are only 10 very simple questions, which even their 10-years-old and 12 years-old could fill out.
Everyone in a household needs to be counted, whether they are in the army, relatives living in the basements or attics, and babies. Everyone must to be counted.
Why is it that important to be counted in the 2010 Census? Because you deserve to have your fair share fo the $400 billion alloted by the Federal Government annually to communities across the United States. This money is distributed to communities based upon census data collected by the Census Bureau. Look at it as your own money paid in taxes. You deserve every bit back.
Where does that money go? To improve your lot, to enhance infrastructure in your neighborhood.
To provide better conditions at the schools your children attend, which will help them to excel in their education. You are aware of the over-crowded John Adams High School. That is a result of not filling out the Census form years ago. We need more schools in Richmond Hill for the growing number of children in the community. The 2010 Census is a solution to the over-crowded problem in the high schools.
Hospitals, roads, parks and social services are just some of the areas where the 2010 Census money goes to improve conditions in our community. We need a nice park for the children in Richmond Hill to go to for recreation. Smokey Park is in the heart of Richmond Hill. Why not invest in it's enhancement? Beautify it with a general facelift. Plant more trees and flower beds to enhance its environ. Provide more facilities for the children to play. Create a beautiful park where folks in Richmond Hill will be attracted to it and want to go chill out there. C'mon folks, you deserve a beautiful park in your neighborhood. Fill out the 2010 Census form.
Understand that for each person not counted, Richmond Hill is loosing $30,000.00. Each one of us is worth $30,000.00 of the Federal money. You do the Math in your household. Count the number of persons in household and multiply by $30,000.00. That is the amount of money you can bring in your community. Your community needs you. So, please don't let it down.
And most critical, your immigration status is of no importance to the 2010 Census. There is absolutely no question on the 2010 Census form about your immigration status, so, whether you are a citizen, resident, undocumented, it does not matter, just fill the 2010 Census form and mail back to the Census Bureau. Your information on the form is very CONFIDENTIAL. There is NO shared information policy with other departments in the US government.
