In July, Mason and I wrote this letter to our US representative, John Shadegg (R). For awhile, I think we were annoyed that we didn't get a response. Now, though, we have, and I think I would've preferred being ignored. I reproduce it below:
December 16, 2004
Mr. Mason Hite
xxxx North xxth Street, Apartment xx
Phoenix, AZ xxxxx
Dear Mr. Hite:
Thank you for contacting me in support of H.R. 3313, the Marriage Protection Act. I appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns and apologize for the delay in my reply.
You will be pleased to know that I voted in favor of H.R. 3313 on July 22, 2004. While the bill passed the House by a 233-194 margin, unfortunately, the Senate did not take action.
Protecting the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman is essential to society, and I will support all legislation to guard this fundamental right. It is my hope that we will address this vital
subject again when the 109th Congress convenes.
Thank you for contacting me regarding this issue. Please continue to express your views regarding this or any other issue that concerns you in the future.
John Shadegg
Congressman
Arizona 3rd District
U.S. House of Representatives
I'm trying to determine if this is a deliberate slap in the face or simply a mindless form letter. Either way, this man needs to come home and quit trying to destroy my country.
And he needs to apologize for this blatant lack of respect for his constituents. Good lord, I'm torqued off.
