    Cool Re: Atc privatization

    California Reps Are apparently too busy to reply. They have so many socialist aggendas to tend too I guess

    Received that same type of "political speak" letter. Thank you for contacting my office, this is an important issue, after careful consideration,...

    Masterful bit of writing by some staff member or consult. Even after multiple readings, it was impossible to decide just where the representative stood. Even better, the actual top of "ATC Privatization" was never mentioned so the letter can be used for a generic response.

    You know, Your exactly right. I have got one of those letters when I wrote my Rep regarding my profession and the VA. I thought the same thing about how the letter was generic.

    I would not be put off by the non-commital generic response letters we get back. That's how it is done in the political arena as a standard practice. That's a survival strategy in the political trades.

    The real issue is 1) they responded and 2) they now know what your opinion is on the issue...that counts. And the opinions of others.....it adds up.

    In the end, the congressional delegations are counting up the tic marks, but you won't see that.

    Write - let your opinion be known; and, don't think your response is being being ignored just because of the feel-good letter - they are counting the input even if it is done in the background.

    OK, I stand corrected now. My Rep did reply via email and it even stated the issue with details.

    I got the politically noncommittal letter also but agree with Dave S. They cannot possibly personally respond to all of the letters they get but you can be sure they are keeping a tally of pro and con letters.

    Make your opinion known.
