April first isn't just April Fools Day - it's Census Day. That's when every person in the country will be counted, and it's an expensive undertaking. Billions of dollars are at stake for communities, and the Census Bureau will spend thousands of dollars to make sure each person is counted. The 2000 Census had a 72% return rate, and census officials are hoping to match that this year. It will cost about $3,000 to follow up on each unreturned census form. The government could spend as much as $85 million in follow-up efforts, money officials would rather spend on communities, which is why it is asking everyone to mail back the forms. Don’t forget to take the NewsDepth Census on our website.

I think that the 12 year old boy is very talented. He never gave up i hope that he keeps on succeding his dreams.
I can’t they let you get that close to the allagators!I could never get that close.If ever got that close I would back up right away.A lot of wild life lives there, a lot of birds.It’s amazing that the allagtors don’t care if you take their picture.I would like to go there just not get close to the allagators.
