I sent them some email about 2 weeks ago about some solutions for the health care debate. No form letter response, no acknowledgment of my mail, but I got added to one of my senators mailing lists.
I know they get lots of letters from special interest groups, lobbyists, and astroturfers. But that’s why you give them your home address and phone number, so they know it’s from an actual constituent. The staffs of your representatives need to at the very least acknowledge your mail, even if you don’t get a personal response.
My representatives are:
Senator Patty Murray
Senator Maria Cantwell
Representative Rick Larsen
It’s no wonder people are pissed off in these town hall meetings, you can’t even get a email auto-responder.
I’ll let you know if these folks ever reply.
