Census Advertising

Obviously, it's been controversial, and Census officials ended up trying to explain their strategy again on CNBC. As someone who wasn't old enough to participate in the previous Census independently, I've been fairly impressed by the Census's bread-and-butter outreach. When I came home last week, there was a flyer stuck on my door explaining the Census and privacy issues. And a letter from Robert Groves, telling me that my form will be arriving in a week and asking me to please send it back, came in the mail last night. I certainly was thinking more about the Census generally because of the television ads (which I really do think are quite witty), but now it's on my calendar as a specific task for next week.
