A penny saved is a penny earned!

Whatever happened to people that believed in this statement? Do they still exist? I hope.

What brings me to this topic is our civic duty as US citizens to submit our 2010 census. The more people that submit this easy form, the less money we're paying to have our census done for us. In addition, it helps to allocate federal funding to needed areas and identifies political boundaries so we are well represented (not that it always matters though).

A new added feature this year to stimulate competition, or accountability, is the internactive map. It allows you to see who has, or hasn't submitted their data down to the penny (ok, Township).
