    Political Replies

    When I write a letter to the President, to voice my opinon for or against something, I always send a courtesy copy to my Congressional Representative, my two Senators, and to the Speaker of the House and President of the Senate. When i send an email, I send the same thing to each, except for the Speaker of the House and the Senate.

    I was cleaning out my desk this morning and found something very interesting, to me at least. In 2009, I wrote seven letters and sent seven emails to the President. I received 14 replies from Congressman Brett Gutherie; 14 replies for Senator Mitch McConnell; four replies from Senator Jim Bunning; and ONE repLY from the President; ZERO replies fron Nancy Pelosi; and ZERO replies fron Harry Reid.

    Since I am not a constituent of the Speaker of the House nor the head of the Senate (usually), it is not unusual that they did not reply although many have in the past. Bill Clinton is the ONLY President that NEVER REPLIED to any of my letters. At least Obama is one up on him.

    This letter to Obama tells it like it is. I don't know if that Old Soldier got a reply but he, sure as heck, deserves one.
