Is it wrong to post Senators' responses

[Pushed To The Left]

to letters/e-mails we have written them? I posted a response I wasn't happy about some time ago, but felt bad about it afterwards. Would it be a good thing to print positive responses, or would that be a breach of etiquette? (I got a really good response on something that might bring disagreeing DUers together on the illegal immigration issue.)

1. They are public servants - their words should be made public

I mean - all our tax dollars pay their salaries, so I think their emails and/or letters should be published anywhere and everywhere.

2. You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth...

Only I was gunna' say: The fuckers are public servents. : )

3. Put 'em up there...

They're supposed to be "public record", so post away!:D

5. Dear X Form letter

Thank you for contacting me regarding the Class Action Fairness Act of
2005 (S. 5), of which I am a co-sponsor. I agree that this is important
legislation and appreciate hearing your views.

Throughout my tenure in the Senate, I have supported responsible tort
reform efforts, including comprehensive product liability reform, small
business punitive damage limits, and other efforts to protect Ohio
businesses and the millions of people they employ.

As you know, the President signed the Class Action Fairness Act into law
on February 18, 2005. This law will move certain types of class action
lawsuits to federal courts. It also will help ensure greater consistency
in judgments and fairness in cases where parties are from different states
and would place limits on "forum shopping" practices. In addition, this
law will limit frivolous lawsuits and prohibit excessive settlements to
plaintiff lawyers.

Should any other tort reform measure come before the Senate for a vote, I
certainly will keep your views in mind. If you have any additional
concerns, please feel free to contact me anytime.

Very respectfully yours,

MIKE DeWINE
United States Senate

As a note, the responce had nothing to do with the concerns that I pointed out in my letter, I just got a form letter... 3 months afterwards.

My orriginal letter was politely worded that I disagreed, where I disagreed and that for disagreeing I was going to put 100 bucks into a jar to donate to his opponent, that every time he made a vote I agreed with I would put 100 dollars in another jar and that, when it came time for the reelection whichever jar had the most money in it would get my donation.

I thought it might be an interesting incentive... I got a jarred responce and doubt anyone even read it.
