Carib Life Central is a proud US Census 2010 partner. We strongly encourage Caribbean persons across the USA to complete the Census 2010 form in March this year and answer question 9 with their ancestry and/or country of origin. Spread the word by telling your Caribbean friends and/or family about completing the US census given it's importance. In addition it is only ten questions long.
For example:
The U.S. Census counts every resident in the United States, and is required by the Constitution to take place every 10 years. The 2010 Census will help communities receive more than $400 billion in federal funds each year for things like:
* Hospitals * Job training centers * Schools * Senior centers * Bridges, tunnels and other-public works projects * Emergency services
The data collected by the census also help determine the number of seats your state has in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Thank you for this valuable information. For many years I have been a strong and vocal advocate for the proper recognition of the various nationalities as well as ethnicIties that are represented in this great nation of "many people". We must present a united front, in order to achieve the benefits that our "tax paying dollars" can afford us. REMEMEBR: that even if a person does not have the "legal status", WE ALL PAY TAXES every time we make a purchase....and can really WE shop. We all contribute to the coffers of all levels of government and as such are entitled to the revenue sharing that is afforded to the "communities". Above all, the proper identification also sends a loud voice to Washington with regards to our VOTING POWER.
