The 14th Amendment states: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. So if they exclude Indians not taxed sould we also exclude Illegal imigrants not taxed? Just wondering if this means the reason they exclude certain Indians because they are not taxed or does it mean something else.

1970 $230 million-President Nixon, 1980-$1.1 Billion-President Carter almost a 5X jump in cost, 1990-$2.6 Billion-President George H.W. Bush a jump of 2.5X of 1980, 2000-$5 Billion-Prsident Clinton doubled cost of 1990, and 2010-$15 Billion President Obama 3X the cost in 2000. Even in 1960 JFK was $120 million which doubled with Nixon. So why did Carter need to Quintuple the cost of Nixon and Obama needed to triple the cost from Clinton when history shows a doubleing effect between Census costs.

The Article was not about the PSA during the Superbowl as much as it was about the amount of money the government is spendg on the census. This should help you sleep at night:
The budget for the 2010 Census is $15 Billion.
The budget for NASA in 2010 is just under $19 Billion.
It doesn't make sense to spend almost as much money on a head count as the Space Program especially when the last Census only cost $5 Billion

Send out letters informing the people about the Census and warning them about scammers who come out this time every Census year to get people's personal information. I am not talking about letters of propaganda telling us the "Horrible stuff" that will happen if we don't answer the census. I have heard radio ads telling people to fill out the Census so our communities get their "Fair Share" of Government funding (Actual Radio Ad). The actual intent was so that we can adjust the number of people in the House of Representatives so the PEOPLE have adequate representation in our nation's capitol.
Here is what I would put in a letter to Americans:
As required every ten years by the Constitution the United States must get a...
Off the topic a little

The government wants answers to the problems with toyota. Last time I knew it was GM that was bailed out not toyota. If I was Toyota I would say to BHO "It doesn't concern you worry about your own car company"
while on the topic of cars I guess GM doesnt stand for General Motors is stands for Government Motors.
Why don't they start thinking about the Welfare of the children. If you are sick you are sick. Take the day off without pay instead of risking hundreds if not thousands (depending on the size of the school)of children getting sick.
Why is it every time I hear about these large Unions they are all about getting as much money as possible for doing as little work as possible.
