Census 2000 Home Page

Have you ever wondered how our government spends our money? I am sure we all have at one time or another. But have ever wondered how they divide it up? What factors go into determining what states get what amount, or what programs are chosen to be funded? If so, then today’s FamSite will be of interest for you.

It is called Census 2000 Home Page, and is the government site that tells all of us how the next census will be conducted.

At this website, you can learn about the mechanics of this every-decade event, how it is conducted, how to participate in it, and most importantly, why it is very important that you participate in it.

So stop on by today, and find out about what will become a source of news programming for the next year. This site is a great educational tool, as well as a source of information about how our government works.
