Well, that senator should have taken a stance on it rather than regurgitate what we already know. :madat:
At least it´s a reply. And he/she is trying to build a mailing list :wink-wink
Form letter…didn’t reveal a thing we didn’t know a week ago….
it is quite revealing
…that was meant to be sarcastic.
I wrote him back saying that I believed that if I took the time to ask the question, he should take the time to respond with more than just a stock reply.
OK…..
If he’s up for election, I’m sure you know how to vote……..
From what I understand from the few friends I have in the political circuit, physical print letters are viewed as far more important (and representative of a concerned citizen) than emails. An email requires little effort to throw together – a print letter implies that the author was willing to invest at least a few cents and some time & energy.
If you want to get your rep’s attention, apparently hand-signed letters work much better.
Too bad its a crummy form letter. It would’ve been nice to get a real opinion from a real person over in DC.
Cheers,
I sent a letter to my Senator about this bill a week before it passed, and
yesterday I received a response that said he would look into the bill
before it comes up for debate in the Senate. DUH! It passed already.hey at least yours knew it was attached, mine in ohio were shocked.

All OH reps and sentators (expect for Oxley who didn’t vote) voted yes, so they don’t even know what they’re voting for but they vote yes and now they say they are shocked. Lame excuse. I know crap gets snuck onto bills but that’s still lame.CGW wrote:I sent a letter to Senator Mel Martinez in Florida asking him how the internet gambling bill could be attached and passed to an unrelated bill without having the opportunity to be debated. This was his response to me, it is quite revealing. I will be writing him back.I got the same, exact letter from Mel.
