Communication with Rep. Neugebauer

I received an e-mail from Caitlin Alcala, who is a member of Rep. Neugebauer's staff. She said they appreciate my various e-mails and would be willing to acknowledge more of them, if I would accept form letters. My reply is as follows:

Caitlin,

I accept your generous offer unconditionally. However, I believe some additional information might be helpful to you.

First, I do not require more frequent responses to my e-mails (letters). Your occasional confirmation that they are being received and considered is primarily enough for me. People ask if I ever receive responses from Rep. Neugebauer. I reply that I usually do not, but still feel that I have made some slight impact.

With respect to form letters versus specifically designed letters, I have no objection to the former. I fully recognize that Rep. Neugebauer and his staff have many problems and opportunities to consider and cannot develop personal letters for each person who contacts them. My only limitation is that a form letter should have some relationship to the subject at hand. A converse situation exists on my contacts with Sen. Hutchison. I usually receive from her a form letter response which may be one to two weeks later than my original e-mail. In addition, 90% of the time the form letter has no relationship to the subject I had previously communicated. For example, I may have sent an e-mail concerning military expenditures, and she will reply with an e-mail concerning the wage and hour law. I find this ineptitude in her and her staff unconscionable.

The other aspect that you should be aware of is that my communications with Rep. Neugebauer are public information. Whenever I send an e-mail to Rep. Neugebauer, I send copies to my 35 Political Advisers. I also have a series of blogs, which many times include "An Open Letter to Rep. Neugebauer". Finally, I make a Twitter reference to the same blog. The blog always contains my personal opinions supported by some facts, but I have usually not quoted Rep. Neugebauer directly.

You may not know that I am a chemist/businessman, who is primarily scientifically oriented. That means I am more logically motivated by a search for truth and efficiency than I am by personal emotions. My ideologies are based upon my personal experience and world history. I am not an abuser of compassion, nor am I stone-hearted. If anyone on your staff is interested in my blog, the series is based on the generic http://arthur-[blogname].blogspot.com. There are now 7 different blog topics, each of which has a different [blogname]. Within each blog there are many postings. The blog names are as follows: government, climatecontrol, education, finance, healthcare, energy, and scienceandpolitics. As of today, there are 664 individual blogs.

Collectively, I have a following, but who knows what that is? Just as Rep. Neugebauer does not know how many votes he will garner in the next election. After 33 years of corporate work, I now only work part-time as Director of Environmental Compliance for a university. This gives me a lot of free time to spend the remainder of my years trying to correct the recent abuses of socialism by Pres. Obama and the present Congress, which was initiated as far back as the Roosevelt Administration.
