My recent LTE expressing frustration with communication from Rep Baumgartner’s office seems to have touched a nerve, and I received a response – of sorts – from him. His weekly newsletter of 11/7 implies that I am unreasonable, brushes off messages to him as spam, and states that I am somehow being unfair to other constituents by messaging frequently. He gives the number of messages I’ve sent, in phrasing that implies I am overwhelming his entire office staff, not mentioning that because of the time frame, it averages to only 2 messages daily. I think we can all agree there are more than 2 things to be concerned about in government right now!
In his own words, he gives evidence of my complaints. He himself states that his office has sent me a reply to only a bit over half of my messages. He fails to note that many (if not most) of those replies are topic- less autoreplies, and that a meaningful response to the actual issue doesn’t follow, certainly not in a timely manner. He says his time is better spent “listening to sincere voices” – implying I’m messaging him insincerely, as perhaps an elaborate prank?
