Members of

Congress ignore responsibilities to Americans

I would like to express my

disappointment of our representatives, you know, the representatives of

the UNITED States of America. Since when do the representatives of our

government send back e-mails with this response: "Due to the high

volume of e-mails ... we can only respond to the constituents of our district

..."? I've never heard of such a thing.

Don't individuals of the United

States of America pay federal taxes that help support representatives

at a federal level? But, let me get this straight, our representatives

of the United States of America are too overwhelmed to talk to anyone

other than their constituents whom live in their district? Yes, I think

I have it right now. Do these representatives think that they live in

a bubble where nothing that happens outside their district matters?

"Due to the large amount

of correspondence my office receives, replies will only be sent to constituents

of the 26th District of California."

"In the weeks to come,

if you are a constituent, you will receive a written response from me

regarding your message."

"Because of the overwhelming

number of e-mails I receive every day, I can only respond to residents

of the state of Arizona."

"Due to the volume of

mail my office receives, I am unable to respond to individuals who do

not reside in Ohio's 13th Congressional District."

"At this time, I am only

able to respond to residents of the 5th Congressional district."

"If you are a constituent

and have written concerning a legislative issue, I will be responding

to your inquiry as soon as possible."

I am in utter amazement at

the responses that I have received from our "public servants."

How is someone's voice supposed to be heard in OUR government when representatives

close off all contact with other taxpaying citizens (who help supplement

their public service pay checks), other than the citizens in their districts?

I have been writing every Congressman

and Congresswoman to express my concerns over identity theft, the largest

growing crime in the United States. Identity theft affects people from

all walks of life from every background all over the United States. It

is a crime that affects the most vital group of our country, the hard-working,

taxpaying citizens. This crime grinds people's lives to a halt and shows

the inadequacies of our government to protect its most productive sector.

This is a crime that can put innocent people in debt or worse, jail with

a criminal background for life.

This crime affects us all,

in every district, every zip code, every neighborhood. I was hoping that

more Congressmen and Congresswomen would be anxious to learn of "new

age" crime that is affecting their constituents as well as their

non-constituents and contemplating some sort of legislation to help protect

these people. I think I need to go
