Ok, living in California isn't always milk and honey (yeah, I know, BIG surprise to some of you). Just for the hell of it, I jump on Boxer's web site, and send her an email detailing the problems I had with her stance on the Healthcare 'reform' she's pushing. I don't know, I wrote pretty damn fast and detailed my concerns about the whole process--rushing it through, the cost, who's going to be affected, etc.
My last line was something to the effect of "I'm a voter, and I vote in every election. I await your reply". I figured I'd get an office worker to write some b.s. about how hard she's working, what the legislation means to the American people, etc....
Two minutes later, I get this in my Inbox:
Dear Friend:
Thank you for taking the time to write and share your views with me. Your comments will help me continue to represent you and other Californians to the best of my ability. Be assured that I will keep your views in mind as the Senate considers legislation on this or similar issues.
http://thomas.loc.gov to track current and past federal legislation.
Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me.
I appreciate hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Barbara Boxer
United States Senator
WHAT THE F*CK? There's no 'of the people' here, it's just "I'm going to do what I'm going to do", and I'll send you some b.s. form letter that won't address your concerns. Mind you, I WAS on her website, that's the only way to 'send her an email'.
Total disconnect from their constituents. I hate the government b*tches (male and female) that only serve their interests......
