I just emailed the people in charge of the federal census 2000 and gave them several reasons why everyone should receive the long form and also why my family especially should receive this long form, too. My daughter has a severe disability. She is 21 years old has ADHD,OCD, and PDD as well as severely types of non convulsive epilepsy. I pointed out to them their own commercial about the waitress who had to bring her child to the place where she worked because she couldn't find daycare for her young child. The same thing could be said for those who are disabled, but the DISABLED CAN'T BE COUNTED WITH THE SHORT FORM!!!!!!!! So those who have family members who are disabled, go to the census web site and email them and let them now that you don't agree with this short form. In doing so you help out the disabled as well as help out those who want the long form for purposes of genealogy. Thank you very much, Gwendalynn Gohlke Dunn P.S. Who knows, the more emails that they get might make a difference...so everyone email this office and let them know how you think about the short versus the long form!!!!!
