Postal Service Limits Letter To Santa Program

Service Limits Letter To Santa Program

November 19, 2009
Starry-eyed children writing letters to the jolly man at the North Pole this holiday season very likely won't get a response from Santa Claus or his helpers.

The U.S. Postal Service is dropping a popular national program begun in 1954 in the small Alaska town of North Pole, where volunteers open and respond to thousands of letters addressed to Santa each year. Replies come with North Pole postmarks.

2. Call me stupid, but I don't see any involvement by Obama

If there is none, why blame it on him?
Methinks this looks like a Hannity headline.

7. You need to include one operative paragraph

"Last year, a postal worker in Maryland recognized an Operation Santa volunteer there as a registered sex offender. The postal worker interceded before the individual could answer a child's letter, but the Postal Service viewed the episode as a big enough scare to tighten rules in such programs nationwide."

If the program continued, the nutjobs would be complaining that Obama is intentionally giving the names and addresses of children to registered sex offenders.
