2010 Census |

2010 Census is Important to Each of Us Guest Commentary from Mavis Busiek Some say it is a ploy to know where you live and get your information. Some say it is unconstitutional. Others say the questions are too personal. Not so – not so and not so. When the first Census in this country, called The United States of America, was taken in 1790 the population of the United States was 3,929,214 there were 13 states and our President was George Washington. The U.S. census counts every resident and is required by the constitution to take place every ten years. -- Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution of the United States The U. S. Federal Census is an exceptional tool for family historians. We have access to more than 150 years of detailed family information. Information given as part of every U. S. Census is held confidential for 72 years; the most recent census available for research is the 1930 Census. In April 2012, we will be able to inspect the Census of 1940. In March of 2010, census forms will be delivered to every residence in the United States and Puerto Rico. When you receive your form answer the ten questions for the first person in your household and the seven questions for each additional person living in your household. Remember to mail back the form in the postage –paid envelope provided. It is most important that we fill out the census forms and encourage others to do so. In 2000 the population of Missouri was 5,595,211 and the 2009 estimation is 5,987,580 or a 7.0 % increase. In order to know our population we must participate and fill out the census form. Census information affects the number of seats our state occupies in the U. S. House of Representatives and the number of Congressional seats effect the number of Electoral votes carried in the Presidential Elections. The 2010 census will affect our vote for ten (10) long years as well as how federal funding is spent each year on infrastructure and services like: schools, hospitals, senior centers, job training centers, emergency services, bridges and other public work projects. Participation is not just important – IT IS MANDATORY |

Use Caution When Dealing With Census Workers |

Use Caution When Dealing With Census Workers According to the official U.S. Census 2010 webpage, census forms will be mailed in March. Census workers will be going door-to-door from April to June to collect information from those families who did not return the forms. The Kansas City Business Bureau issued guidelines on dealing with Census Workers on the phone or in person: - Be cooperative, but cautious.
- If census workers knock on your door, they will have a badge, a handheld device, a Census Bureau canvas bag and a confidentiality notice. Ask to see their badges.
- Never allow anyone into your home.
- Do not give your Social Security number, credit card or banking information to anyone, even if they claim they need it for the U.S. Census.
- Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail or in person at home. However, they will not contact you by e-mail, so be on the look out for e-mail scams.
The census includes 10 questions about the people who live in your home. There are no questions about financial information, occupation, or household incomes. If you are asked these questions, it is probably a scam! For more information on the 2010 Census and questions on the form, please see the following websites: http://2010.census.gov/2010census/how/ http://www.kansascity.bbb.org/NewsStory.asp?sid=090506Census |

 The Republican Women’s Club of St. Louis, sponsor of the My Favorite Teacher Essay Contest, held an Awards Ceremony to honor the winning teachers and recognize the achievement of the essay authors (students). Held January 22, 2010, 8:00am in the Boardroom of Eureka City Hall, friends and family were on hand to honor the teachers and students along with Rep. Tim Jones; Eureka Mayor Ken Coffey; Eureka Alderman Marilyn Leistner; Arleen Jackson, Past President of RWC of StL; and Sharon Barnes, President of RWC of StL. Rep. Jones presented each teacher with a House Resolution, a Missouri Blue Book, a copy of the Missouri Constitution and a state flag that had flown over the state capitol. Eureka Mayor Coffey and Aldermen Marilyn Leistner honored the teachers with a City Proclamation. "My Favorite Teacher" Award began during the 2001 National Federation/No Child Left Behind State Summit Program. The purpose of the award is to acknowledge those outstanding teachers across America who have encouraged students to dream big. The "My Favorite Teacher" Award recognizes excellence in teaching and the impact that one good teacher can have on every individual. Each of us can name a teacher who has made a difference in our lives. As Republicans, we are often positioned as the enemy of teachers because of the politics of the NEA and the American Federation of Teachers. The "My Favorite Teacher" Award gives us the opportunity to share good news about the positive impact a teacher can make.

MoFRW Farm Report |
 |

MoFRW Farm Report February 6, 2010 Reported by Kathy L.Chinn In December 2009, the Missouri State Tax Commission approved a 29% increase in the productivity values of farmland grades 1 thru 4, consisting primarily of cropland. This increase equates to approximately 90 cents per acre. Grades 5 thru 7, consisting of pasture land, would decrease about 24% of value, or about 20 cents per acre. Total value of farmland would net at an increase of 11.5%. The tax assessment increases would cause higher costs for farmers in a time of reduced values of products sold. Farmers, agriculture commodity organizations, and the Missouri Department of Agriculture objected to the tax increases. Republican legislators, Representative Brian Munzlinger and Senator Bill Stouffer, brought about a Resolution (HCR-7) to demonstrate disapproval for raising the tax rates. The 95th General Assembly passed HCR-7 by an overwhelming majority, during session the week of January 25. Final approval must take place within the next 30 days and submit to the Tax Commission. The Missouri Tax Commission consists of three, Governor appointees. They are: Bruce E. Davis, Rep. Jennifer Tidwell, Dem. Bill L. Ransdall, Dem. More information can be found on the Missouri Government website: www.mo.gov. “Thank a Farmer Week” February 7 thru 13 – 2010. U.S. farmers are the food producers for Americans and people around the world. The average American farmer feeds an average of 146 people. Missouri farmers produce nearly $5.6 billion worth of farm products a year on an average size farm of 287 acres. Missouri livestock production accounts for 53% of the state’s agricultural receipts and 47% is from a wide range of crops. Check out other information about Missouri agriculture from the Missouri Dept. of Agriculture website: www.mda.mo.gov. Just can’t live without a Farmer i.e., food grower! |

NEWS RELEASE NATIONAL FEDERATION OF REPUBLICAN WOMEN SUE LYNCH, PRESIDENT
| FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 28, 2010 | CONTACT: Lisa Ziriax 405-596-3873 or lziriax@nfrw.org | National Federation of Republican Women Comments on Obama's 'State of Union' ALEXANDRIA, Va. Following President Barack Obamas first State of the Union address, National Federation of Republican Women President Sue Lynch said: "Last night, the President had a genuine opportunity to communicate with the American people and to show leadership on the tough issues facing our country. Instead, he resorted to using the same partisan rhetoric to explain his administrations undeniable lack of progress in revitalizing the economy and creating jobs for Americans. "We congratulate Governor Bob McDonnell on his excellent response, which discussed the role of good government policy in spurring economic growth and strengthening the private sector by enabling American innovation and entrepreneurship to create new jobs. The Governor also questioned the administration's handling of suspected terrorists and emphasized the need to put the protection of U.S. citizens first. "President Obama claims he is looking for new ideas to solve problems. The National Federation of Republican Women hopes he will start listening to common sense ideas, such as those Governor McDonnell articulated."
