RICHMOND -
Putting millions of dollars into Virginia's coffers.
All it takes is 10 minutes of your time.
That's the message the U.S. Census Bureau is pushing. Officials want African American men especialy, to understand how important it is to fill out and return their 2010 forms.
During a Saturday morning forum, citizens learned how the census impacts political representation in congress and guides the government as it doles out $400 billion to communities across the country.
Traditionally, African American males have not participated.
Saturday, they stressed it's easy and confidential.
2010 census forms should arrive sometime in March.
