My Form Letter From Sen. Lieberman

[chrisau214]

I apologize if anyone has already posted something similar but I think this lovely little blow-off e-mail from Sen. Lieberman shows exactly why people need to actully make phone-calls and send physical faxes. I think it shows why people actually need to make pests of themselves if anything real is ever going to get done.

I received this in response to an e-mail sent requesting that the Senator do the right thing and filibuster the Alito nomination.

Dear Friend:

Thank you for taking the time to contact me. I appreciate the
opportunity to know your opinions on the pressing issues facing our
nation. Regrettably, due to the huge volume of mail that I receive, I am
only able to research and address comments sent to me from Connecticut
residents. If you are not from Connecticut, you may want to consider
sending a message to the Senators from your state of residence. You can
do so by visiting http://www.senate.gov/ for a link to the web sites of
each member of the United State Senate. If you are currently residing out
of state, but are still a Connecticut resident or have a connection to
Connecticut, please be certain to use your Connecticut address or indicate
your Connecticut connection in the first paragraph of your email.

I value having the benefit of your thoughtful concerns, since I do
receive detailed weekly reports from my staff providing a sampling of
comments from across the country on timely issues before Congress.

My official Senate web site is an excellent source of information about
my work here. As you know, you can access the site at
http://lieberman.senate.gov. I encourage you to visit my web site, or if
you have already done so, to return to it often. I am also pleased to let
you know that I have launched an email news update service through my web
site. You can sign up for that service by visiting
http://lieberman.senate.gov and clicking on the "Subscribe Email News
Updates" button at the bottom of the home page. I hope these are
informative and useful.

Thank you again for letting me know your views and concerns.

Sincerely,


Joseph I. Lieberman
UNITED STATES SENATOR


Thanks Senator, I only wish that I lived in Connecticut so that I could vote against you.
