[Quietcars] US Census form question: Off Topic but helpful.

[Corbb O'Connor]

While helpful in preparing for the census, it's too bad that the  
Census Bureau doesn't have OFFICIAL Braille and large type versions of  
the census that can be mailed to blind residents upon request. (The  
website to which you linked says that the questions aren't the  
official questions on the form but are just a sample.) Let's work for  
that in 2020!

Thanks for sharing the info, though, Mike.

One of our good friends called about the census form and how one if  
blind
could fill it out.

After we'd spoken at some length, I did some research after talking to  
her
and found the following on the web.


Here's an example of how one organization has given thought to working  
with
the Feds in trying to get t his program straightened away.

Thanks.
