Census 2010

According to PRNewswire, a TV ad will be filmed today in order to inform the Hispanic community about the importance of the U.S. Census. Hispanic Census Ad

Will this ad campaign succeed in increasing Hispanic participation in the census? It’s so important for the Hispanic population in the United States to understand the importance of the census; however, there are so many myths surrounding the census-for example, that it’s used to document who’s in the country illegally, that you have to pay to answer the questions, etc.  If this campagin is successful, it will certainly be a step forward.
