Citizenship
By Garth J. Christie, CMC

Citizens should be aware that it is now census season and perform their civic obligation by filling out and returning the questionnaire they receive in the mail. The 2010 census form is one of the most concise forms ever asking only 10 questions. Participating in the census is the easiest civic obligation citizens will be asked to perform; far easier than, jury duty, paying taxes or even voting. Redford citizens are asked to do one more small task in conjunction with the census.

In an effort to cut costs, forms mailed to Redford citizens were labeled "Detroit". As a safety precaution, Census Bureau officials advised us to ask our citizens to cross out Detroit and write in Redford Township. Citizens who have already mailed their forms in should not worry since a bar code should count them in the proper community. Above all, do not disregard the census form because it has the wrong city printed on it. It is imperative that every one of our citizens is counted.

The information gathered by the census will, most notably, be used to determine our representation in Congress and State Legislature. Also, this data is used to determine how $400 billion in Federal Funding will be allocated for schools, health care programs, roads, public safety, highways and other essential services. This is not a socialist conspiracy as some right-wing pundits have claimed.

Our Founding Fathers established a revolutionary idea that people should have a fair voice in their government. To accomplish this everyone needs to be counted and congressional districts drawn accordingly. This is why the census is a constitutional mandate. In addition, it lays a basis for the fair distribution of resources. Moreover, complying with the census is the right thing to do.

Many citizens remember the story about Caesar Augustus' decree that the whole world be taxed, the three holiest figures in Christianity when to Bethlehem to be counted for this purpose. The right-wing pundits that deride the census are a little overly self righteous.

Citizens should feel safe in the knowledge that the census is required by the U.S. Constitution and it is not immoral to participate in it. This is the largest domestic undertaking by the Federal Government involving two mailings to over 300 million people at 134 million different addresses. Citizens should shrug off the offense at being lumped in with Detroit and perform the simplest of all civic duties.
