After waiting three weeks and getting a canned response email, I am realizing how freaking under represented my interests are. Anyone else want to vote out their representative for lack of representation? Anyone want to run in my district? Is anyone else getting such poor responses, not even mentioning the issue that was written about?
The response for context:
Thank you for contacting me to share your thoughts. I appreciate hearing from you.
First, please allow me to apologize for the delay in my response. I receive thousands of pieces of constituent correspondence each week and I cannot always respond to each email, phone call, and letter as quickly as I would like. I appreciate your patience in this matter and regret if this has caused you any inconvenience.
Your opinions and insights help inform the decisions that I make as your Representative, and I greatly appreciate that you took the time to share your thoughts with me. I look forward to continuing to work in a bipartisan manner on the major issues facing our nation, such as strengthening the economy, creating jobs, lowering health care costs, keeping people in their homes, bolstering homeland security, and protecting Medicare and Social Security. Moving forward, you may be certain that I will remember your thoughts, and I sincerely hope that you will continue to provide your input on any issues important to you. Hearing from constituents is vital to my decision-making process.
As a resident of Florida’s Twelfth District, your comments and opinions are an important source of information to help me carry out my duties as your federal representative. In that regard, please do not hesitate to contact me in the future on any issue important to you.
