WITH LESS THAN ONE MONTH TO GO IN THIS YEAR'S CENSUS, TAWANNA
WRIGHT--OF "A-A-R-P ALABAMA"--REMINDS ALL RESIDENTS THAT PARTICIPATING IS VERY IMPORTANT...
(WRIGHT):
"THE CENSUS WILL INFLUENCE COMMUNITY-FUNDING AND CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATION FOR THE NEXT DECADE;
THAT'S PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT FOR ALABAMA, AS WE COULD END UP LOSING A SEAT IN CONGRESS.
CENSUS-INFORMATION WILL BE USED TO HELP ALLOCATE MORE THAN 675-BILLION DOLLARS IN FEDERAL FUNDS, EACH YEAR, FOR STATES AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES.
THIS INCLUDES FUNDING THAT'S ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR OUR GROWING
SENIOR-POPULATION--SUCH AS HEALTHCARE AND SENIOR-SUPPORT SERVICES. WE NEED ALL ALABAMIANS TO SAY
'I COUNT'--BY FILLING OUT THE CENSUS BEFORE SEPTEMBER 30TH."
