WASHINGTON – Faced with record levels of red ink into the foreseeable future, Washington is spending $2.5 million to create buzz for the census — by advertising during the Super Bowl.

WASTED TAX DOLLARS....PING!!
good grief...I’m still not doing anymore than telling them who I am and how many live at our house.
I did not get my census package yet. Have they mailed them out?
Should have read, “Government FORCES Americans to buy Super Bowl ads.”
I agree with that headline!!!!
This is so like Hussein, isn’t it? Wonder what his Ministry of Propaganda has cooked up this time?
Really. How can it cost so much to count citizens? Just count the number in social security. Advertise that if you do not have social security that they should contact the census to be counted. Simple.
NOW BESIDES BEING AN INCREDIBLY WASTEFUL MOVE, I CALL THAT DONRIGHT INVASIVE!
I did the “long form” over the telephone about eight months ago. Very mundane actually.
What is this census about which they keep talking? Looks like I’ll have to watch the commercials to find out more. :)
...folks this is not “Govt” doing this...and it’s not about counting people like you and me....it’s about the Dems expanding their power base by making sure they enroll the huge underclass that’s out there....to keep the federal money/programs flowing so that they’ll stay in power.
“I did not get my census package yet. Have they mailed them out?”
That’s why you have to wait for the commercial to find out. Just like we will have to wait to see what final poem Charles Barkley comes up with for the Taco Bell $5 Buck Box.
$2.5 million is a drop in the bucket. How many people from how many Federal agencies have already been in Miami for how long in the name of “security”? Who foots this bill - the NFL? Nope, the taxpayers.
Yup, here in Vegas they're promoting it as "getting our fair share"
Completely disgusting.
So are the ads going to be cute or funny? Because the next best thing after the actual game are the ads. If they aren’t decent they will be lambasted in the main stream media as lame.
Monday morning should be interesting with the commercial reviews.
Oh, and why are we paying for this crap again?
The bloated corrupt government doesn't have any money...They're using the peon tax payers money as usual...
Get the moderator to change the title.
Just like the “Ask your doctor” ads, the Smokey the Bear ads, etc. All an unconstitutional waste.
“Yup, here in Vegas they’re promoting it as “getting our fair share”
...similar attitudes here in Raleigh and Charlotte...it’s mostly an urban effort...that’s where the large populations of blacks,illegal immigrants,homeless,felons,students ect. are more concentrated...and that’s the powerbase of the urban DEM politician.
