Please tell your friends, family, and anyone else you know that is
Taiwanese American to check "Other Asian" in Section 9, and write in
"Taiwanese."
十年一度的美國普查即將開始! 只要你住在美國,就會收到普查單, 請大家
務必記得填寫,並在第九項勾選"other asian" 並寫下 Taiwanese American.
目前粗估美國有一百萬台美人,但十年前的普查,僅登記了144,795人.
這為什麼很重要呢? 美國國會是依照普查來分配國會預算和資源,所以每一
張普查單要有正確確實的記錄,我們才能呈現出美國真正的全貌和族群需求.
請大家記得確實填寫普查單!! 謝謝~ 歡迎將此文轉載給親朋好友們!
As some of you may already know, the US Census is taking place this year.
The US Census counts everyone residing in the United States -- in all 50
states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Island Areas-- as
mandated by the US Constitution every ten years. Forms have began to ship
out and are due April 1st, 2010.
Recent projections estimate that there are over 1 MILLION Taiwanese
in the United States, but the 2000 Census recorded only 144,795 people.
In order to correct this undercount a national campaign has started to inform
Taiwanese people to "Write in Taiwanese" on their Census forms.
Why is this important? Census data is used to distribute CONGRESSIONAL SEATS
to states, to make decisions about what COMMUNITY SERVICES to provide, and to
distribute $400 BILLION in federal funds to local, state and tribal governments
each year.
Please visit this website for more information and to view a Public Service
Announcement that was filmed to bring awareness to this undercount.

Thank you and please spread the word!
