From the White House...

On behalf of President Bush, thank you for your correspondence.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, President Bush and all
Americans send their thoughts and prayers to the families of
those who have lost lives and to all those affected by this
natural disaster.

The President is directing Federal agencies throughout the
government to do all in their power to assist the victims of
Hurricane Katrina. The top priority is to save and sustain lives.
President Bush established a White House task force to oversee
Hurricane Katrina response and recovery, and he convened a Cabinet
meeting to ensure that Federal agencies' efforts are timely and
fully coordinated.  Residents of the Gulf Coast states affected by
the hurricane have lost loved ones, lost homes, and been displaced
from their communities, and they will have the full support of the
Federal government.

The President has called for the coordination of all parties
involved in the response and relief efforts. Federal, state, and
local governments are working side-by-side to deliver relief to
the areas physically damaged by Hurricane Katrina and to
communities across the South that will be affected in the aftermath
of the storm. Efforts and resources are focused on saving lives,
sustaining lives, and supporting long-term recovery.  For
information and guidance you may wish to visit the FEMA website at
www.fema.gov or call 800-621-3362 or 800-621-FEMA.

The President has called on all Americans to support the relief and
rescue efforts through charitable contributions and aid. Americans
who wish to contribute can do so by contacting charities that are
assisting with hurricane relief.  For more information on relief
and recovery efforts, please visit the USAFreedom Corps website at
www.usafreedomcorps.gov.

Thank you again for taking the time to write.

From one of my Senators...


Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to contact me via
e-mail. Because of the volume and range of e-mails I receive, it can take
some time to send a response that specifically addresses the subject
raised in your message. I do, however, want to let you know immediately
that your message has been received and that a more detailed response will
be forthcoming. In the meantime, I hope you will visit my website at
http://coleman.senate.gov, to monitor the work I am doing in the Senate.

Sincerely,
Norm Coleman
United States Senate

Those aren't responses.

In other news today:


Blahblahblahblahblahblahblah.

A form? Nice. I'd expect no more.

Looks like a whole lot of nothing.

You will probably receive a snail-mail letter from your Senator.

Whether it says anything more than the boilerplate email you got or not will be interesting to learn.

Soon you will be getting spam E-mails asking for campaign contributions.

"Shut up and get in line, peasant."

Quoted: Soon you will be getting spam E-mails asking for campaign contributions.

LOL!!!! Yah no shit!!! If ya would have sent an E Mail titled "Katrina" and in the letter you wrote "Sally sells seashells by the seashore" you would have gotten the same canned response.

Hey but its OUR GUMMINT... THEY ARE THERE FOR US AND THEY LISTEN!!!

Whole lot of jibba jabba meant to make the stupid people feel like there question was answered.

Quoted: Those aren't responses.

Ya, think?
