The Census is not a modern innovation that's
been thrust upon the American people.
It is as old as the republic itself.
When we look at census data we can watch the United
States transform from this fledgling republic with this
relatively sparse population scattered
on the Atlantic seaboard,
And we can watch it transform into this
continental super power that today is able
to project so much power globally.
Once a decade, we are called upon
to stand up and be counted.

So that everyday, of every year,
the needs of your community are met.

and empowers us to make better choices for moving forward.
In the words of Thomas Jefferson:
"Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be
trusted with their own government."
And in the process, the Census tells us much more
about where we have been and where we are going.
