    As a practicing engineer with a doctorate in sociology, it is especially evident to me how social sciences are so crucial in gaining an understanding of the use of technology in the 21st century.

    As an economist who teaches and does research on urban and inequality issues, as well as US economic, social and labor history, this continuation of this data sample into the 21st century is essential. If we do not know who is where and with what we cannot actually view the past, the present and the future. We will also not distribute federal funds to those communities with those most in need.

    How can we effectively improve social welfare if we don't know what different groups of people have and what they need?

    This survey is vital to the economic well-being of the county. It is used by many sectors of the economy: businesses, non-profit agencies, local government, as well as educational institutions and researchers.

    ACS was a valuable resource to me in my research on older adults.

    The ACS provides many valuable functions for social science researchers and the public. The author of the addendum Congressman Webster's office staff said Mr. Webster does not know the difference between social science research and scientific research and did not know that two concepts both apply to the ACS

    This is ridiculous! In order to solve community issues and make this a better country, this information is VITAL. It helps with efficiencies, understanding change, and planning for the future. Cut salaries, parking privileges, junkets and health care and retirement for Congress before something that actually can help ALL Americans.

    The ACS and the Census information is one of the most important assets of the United State of America and to its democracy. Are we going to make decisions in the dark? Please do not eliminate it.
