Over the past two months, the Census Project’s stakeholders and allies have visited scores of key congressional offices to talk to members of Congress and their aides about the upcoming 2020 Census budget crisis.
As the chart above shows, the planning and execution of each decennial census runs on a 10-year cycle. Funding ramps up for a field test of new census counting techniques in each year ending in 8, leading up to the decennial.
But, Congress has provided woefully inadequate funding for the 2020 Census over the past few years as compared with previous decades.
Now, Congress and the new Trump administration must find the funds to properly fund the 2020 Census. In three separate letters to Congress, organized by the Census Project, a diverse group of organizations — ranging from governors and mayors to business groups like realtors and home builders to civil rights groups like the NAACP — each urge Congress to properly fund planning for the 2020 Census.
Soon, because of the pending April 28 federal budget deadline, Congress must act!
My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net

the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less.
I’ve been using WordPress on a variety of websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform.
I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my
wordpress content into it? Any help would be really appreciated!
