It probably was a leftover sent to you by your Senator or Congressman's office. I've received number of them in past.

Holy shit, just got mine in the mail as well! At this point it's no joke or conspiracy theory, this was intentional. I can understand if this was limited to just counties or a certain state, but across the country?

Ok, so when do stage a coupe against the post office bureaucrats???

I thought about that, as steady monthly donors, the only contact we received was thank you, while asking for more. Would you mind posting a picture of the invitation?

I received my "Invitation" in the mail today - 3/7/17. Aside from the obsolescence, it makes the mistake on the letter portion to refer to the United States as a "democracy" - which sets my teeth on edge. Heaven help us if we actually ever become a "democracy".

Well this solves the mystery of why so few were in those NPS pics of the inauguration. Damned USPO.

To all of you who may have gotten the invitation to the Presidential Inauguration - late - as I did. I re-read the first page; and it apparently was not designed to be an actual invitation to the inauguration that took place on Jan. 20th 2017, but a commemorative "memento" given out to those who helped Donald Trump to become president. That would answer the question of why we received them in late Feb. and early March.
