Thank you very much for your Internet message to Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. If you provided your postal mailing address, Senator Hutchison will respond to your comments or concerns by regular mail. Again, thank you for contacting Senator Hutchison via the Internet. ** Office of Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (TX) **
The reason political members ask for a postal mailing address is so that they can find out which physical district you represent. None of them respond very well without knowing this context. Sad, isn't it. -blast %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \ Tim Keanini | "The limits of my language, / / | are the limits of my world." \ \ blast@broder.com | --Ludwig Wittgenstein / \ +================================================/ |Key fingerprint = 7B 68 88 41 A8 74 AB EC F0 37 98 4C 37 F7 40 D6 | / PUB KEY: http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/pks-commands.html \ %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
