Bachmann will push 2010 census

[ccharles000]

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), who last year said she was not going to fill out her census form, intends to vote for a measure this week that encourages Americans to participate in the 2010 census.

According to an aide in Bachmann’s office, the North Star State lawmaker intends to vote for a “census awareness” measure on Wednesday.

The resolution, offered by Rep. Silvestre Reyes (D-Texas), implores “individuals across the United States to participate in the 2010 census to ensure an accurate and complete count beginning April 1, 2010, and expressing support for designation of March 2010 as Census Awareness Month,” according to a description of the measure.

Bachmann is not among the resolution’s 56 co-sponsors, most of whom are Democrats. The Reyes measure, which was placed on the suspension calendar, is expected to easily pass the lower chamber.

is a genius. Love Jennifer Coolidge: "I said, I can do it...but you'd better get me my left-handed scissors..."

if no one in her district answered.

How?.. Maybe a kind of "Dick & Jane" primer.
