They’re running radio commericals on all the talk radio stations, the basic message being, Send in your census form so your town doesn’t miss out on it’s “fair share” of government pork. You can really tell the Obamaites are behind this one.

Is it just me, or have you also noticed a huge increase of “Department of Health and Human Services and the Ad Council” commercials running on talk radio shows?
