Sikh American Census (SAC)

<body> <P> <Div align="center"><H1><U>Sikh American Census (SAC)</U></H1></Div> <h2><u>Welcome to Sikh American Census</u></h2> <p>Does America know who the Sikhs are? Sikhs first came to the United States in the 1800s but even after more than 130 years Sikhs are still invisible and virtually unknown to most Americans. Our community has remained fragmented and failed to speak with a single strong voice.</p> <p>Every 10 years the United States conducts a census of all Americans. It is time that Sikhs were finally counted. If we lose this opportunity to unite as a community for the 2010 Census, we will remain invisible for yet another decade. Will we organize this decade, the next decade, or decades later?</p> <h2><u>Mission</u></h2> <p>Sikh American Census is building a united Sikh community. Our goal is to facilitate communication among Sikh Americans and educate all Americans about Sikhs. To do a study and find out what our Sikh numbers are and empowering Sikhs across America.</p> <Table width="100%"> <tr><td> <h2><u>Important Dates</u></h2> <ol type="a"> <li> Fall 2009 Recruitment for peak 2010 survey </li> <li> Feb - March 2010 Questionnaires mailed/delivered</li> <li> April 1, 2010 Census Day</li> <li> April - July 2010 visit households that didn't return</li> <li> Dec 2010 By law deliver population report to the President for apportionment</li> <li> Mar 2011 By law complete delivery of redistricting data to states</li> </ol> </td><td> <h2><u>News</u></h2> <ol type="i"> <li>Sign the Petition For Sikhs to be Counted by the US Census Bureau</li> <li>CENSUS PETITION </li> <li>Call to Sikh Community to Actively Participate in 2010 Census</li> <li>Sikhs Advocate to be Counted Separately by the US Census Bureau</li> </ol> </td></tr> </table> <hr/> <div align="center"> <a href="http://www.census.gov/pubinfo/www/news/"><b>US Census news updates</b></a>       <a href="_images/census_2010_form.pdf" title="Census Form"><b>Sample Census Form</b></a>       <a href="http://www.census.gov/"><b>www.census.gov</b></a> </div> <hr/> <div align="center">Copyright © 2009 Sikh American Census All Rights Reserved.</div> <h4><p align="center">This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p></h4> <hr/> <h4><i>"Sikh American Census (SAC), Sikh American Census, SAC, united Sikh community, Sikh community, sikh, sikhs, usa, america, American Sikh Census,Sikh Census, Sikh American, American Sikh, punjabi sikh census, punjabi"</i><h4> </P> </body>
