Fleischmann's response

[ShamGlock]

 

Just wanted to spread the word to all who have Fleischmann as their rep. I like the response, but I wanted to get the word out so that if he does not act as promised we can all hold him accountable in the ballot box. 

 

 

Dear  Jeremy :

 

Thank you for contacting me about the recent heartbreaking tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut.  I appreciate hearing your thoughts on this  horrendous attack on our children, and I remain honored to represent you in Congress.

 

On December 14, 2012  a deranged young man attacked the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Connecticut, brutally murdering 20 first graders and 6 adults.  This unspeakable attack shook the town of Newtown to its core and forced many of us to question how anyone could be  so evil as  to  murder children.

 

In the wake of this shooting there are no easy answers.  I have heard suggestions for limiting 2 ndAmendment rights to increasing resources for mental  health issues to putting armed school resource o fficers in every school.  I oppose limiting gun rights , however I do believe that there is merit in the other two suggestions, although these solutions may be better implemented at the state or local level than at the federallevel.  School resources and  needs are no doubt very different in a small Tennessee town than in New York City or in rural Alaska.

 

This horrific act leads me to hug my children a little bit tighter, but ultimately  the search for answers to this shooting yields few clues.  We know little about the shooter and what could have driven him to kill.

 

I urge you to join me in keeping the victims and their families in your prayers in the wake of this horrible crime.  Thank you again for your concern and please do not hesitate to let me know if I may be of additional assistance.

 

Sincerely,

Chuck Fleischmann
Member of Congress

Seems like today was Fleischmann form letter day. :)

Yep, A guy I work with and I both wrote John Duncan letters regarding gun control and got back identical replies. I guess that's to be expected. If they personally read and responded to every letter they got they wouldn't have time to accomplish all of the excellent work they get done in DC :-\

same letter i got from chuck.  but it is better that others i have seen.

Guys, form letters that are written to certain subjects are just what they have to do because of the massive amount of mail they get (I know this because my wife interned for Chris Smith out of NJ years ago.) But they DO tally up how many letters/calls/etc that come in for subjects. So that is very important to know.

 

I got a form letter back from Duncan, but it was really bad. It seemed like it was a letter that was supposed to deal with Sandy Hook AND gun control at the same time, but did neither very well. Fleishmann's letter was MUCH better.

Same letter here too.

It does not irritate me to receive a form letter from a Congressman on a sensitive subject. It means they have put thought into it and the answer is the same for each constituent. I would be very suspicious and very unhappy if everyone did not get the same answer to the same question.

My boss emailed a letter to a list of politicians that he received from the NRA website. He actually received a couple phone calls and non-form letter responses. None of which were from the FBI, TBI, CIA or Secret Service.

I don't mind the canned response. It does make me wonder though, if an anti sends him a letter do they get this same response?
