Of all the “services” that our Federal Government provides for it’s citizens, one that is actually enumerated in the Constitution is the census.\u00a0 Yes, the Constitution provides for the Federal Government to conduct a census every 10 years.\u00a0\u00a0 So every 10 years for over 200 years the government has been counting us.\u00a0 You would think they have the process down, wouldn’t you?\u00a0 Think again.<\/p>\n
I read article in the local Cherokee County paper this evening that some citizens in my zip code received mis-addressed census forms.\u00a0 In this area there are three towns right together, Woodstock, Holly Springs, and Canton.\u00a0\u00a0 It seems that the Census Bureau addressed some of the forms to people in Woodstock incorrectly putting them in Holly Springs.\u00a0 Holly Springs doesn’t even have mail delivery.\u00a0 Any addresses that are Holly Springs would as far as the post office is concerned be either in Woodstock or Canton.\u00a0 Apparently the Census Bureau didn’t know that.<\/p>\n
But the post office ignored the city in the address and delivered the mail from the street address and the zip code.\u00a0 Great!<\/p>\n
In an interview with the local news the director of the local Census Bureau instructed people to go ahead and fill out the forms.\u00a0 The Census Bureau has a bar code on the form with the address, who knows if it is correct.\u00a0 However, some people have already returned their forms without filing them out because they were misaddressed.<\/p>\n
What a Charley-Foxtrot!\u00a0 One thing the government is actually supposed to do, they can’t even pull it off without screwing it up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
