Census Bureau kicks off once-a-decade head count
On January 4th, the Census Bureau kicked off its $300 million campaign to prod, coax and cajole the nation's more than 300 million residents to fill out their once-a-decade census forms. Department of Commerce Secretary Gary Locke and Census Bureau Director Robert Groves started the morning with an appearance on the Today Show in New York City to launch the 2010 Census Road Tour. This link takes you to the Today Show Timeline. Once on the page, scroll on the 'next 5 items' button until you reach 8:31 a.m. A link to the video is at the bottom of the column.
