I got this today and thought it was worth passing on.  It comes from a 
group I follow called the Census Project.

To: Census Project Stakeholders

A blog post written by Terri Ann Lowenthal yesterday notes that the 
House Appropriations Committee is about to CUT funding for the Census 
Bureau by another $100+ million for the FY 2014 budget. While the Census 
Bureau has not reacted yet, it’s likely this budget cut, if enacted, 
would seriously impact Census 2020 planning.

We want to alert House and Senate appropriators to this disastrous move. 
We have drafted a new co-signature letter 
(http://www.thecensusproject.org/files/Census_Project-FY14_ltr_to_appropriat…)

that we hope your organization can sign. The deadline is next Monday, 
July 15, at noon (EDT). If you wish, please feel free to draft your own 
letter to both House and Senate Appropriations Committee leadership and 
feel free to pass this letter along to others for their possible 
signature. If you can sign on to the Census Project’s letter, please 
contact Jason Shevrin at jason.shevrin(a)gmail.com by mid-day next Monday.
