During 2010 Census, let them know you are of Turkish origin. ATAA is partnering with the US Census Bureau to spearhead the national campaign to count people of Turkish and Turkic heritage throughout America. You should either have recently received your census form or you will receive it shortly. Complete and submit the Census 2010 Form by writing “Turk” in the “Other” box on the Census 2010 form. Watch this video for further detailed explanation on how to fill out the form to be counted as TURK. More details can be found at www.ataa.org.
It is very important for us to know how many Turks are living and voting in America to become a political force to reckon with. Depending on the results of Census 2010, over $400B in federal funding will be available to state and local projects, including diversity programs. In addition, depending on the enumeration of Turks, the Census Bureau may decide to include a “Turkish” box in the 2020 Census. So it is really important for each and every one of us to be counted as having Turkish heritage. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. TASNO |

Mart 2010 tarihinden itibaren evlerinize 2010 Nufus Sayimi geregi doldurmaniz gereken formlar gelecek. 10 yil once yapilan son sayim sonuclarini gordugumuzde, malesef gerek ABD capinda gerekse eyaletimizde yasayan Turk kokenli kisilerin sayisi yaklasik olarak bile belirlenememisti. Halbuki diger etnik guruplarin cogu irk sorusunun altindaki OTHER kismini isaretleyerek yanina etnik kokenlerini isaretlediklerinden sayica daha belirgin guruplar olduklarini kanitlamislardir.
Turk kokenimizin tam belirlenmesi durumunda Federal Hukumet veya Eyaletler bazinda cesitli projelerin yururluge konulmasini isterken, egitim gibi onemli konularda butce tahsisati yapilirken ve Konuya gostereceginiz destek icin simdiden herkese cok tesekkur ederiz. TASNO |
