On the recordJuly 30, 1998

We need to have actual counts. We should not use polling. And we need to work together to trust the system of government. It is too important to play politics with this issue. The President is playing politics with it. It is very clear. We need to count everybody. We need to put the resources in. There are a lot of good ideas, from paid advertising this time, and working in outreach programs, whether we need to use the WIC program. Why do we not use the WIC program to help count kids? Why do we not use Medicaid records? We can provide the resources to do that. We can come together and get a good census.
