A Reply From The Office Of Sen. Voinovich (Corporate Welfare)

I finally received a reply from Sen. Voinovich. I'm sure it's entirely coincidental that I received this today after several hits from the Senate and House.*cough* *cough*

Anyways...

Thank you for contacting my office.  I genuinely appreciate your e-mail and thank you for sharing your thoughts with me.  As with all communications with my office, your views have been recorded.

Every day, I hear from the people of Ohio through their phone calls, letters and faxes to my office.  As you can imagine, I also receive a significant number of e-mails daily.  Mass-generated e-mails sent by a third-party group, which are usually form text, have hindered my ability to respond to the e-mails, phone calls, letters and faxes that I receive.  Due to the increasing number of mass-generated e-mails received by my office, effective March 16, 2007, my office will be implementing changes to the constituent correspondence process.

Consequently, I have established a new system on my website to better serve Ohio constituents.  If you would like a written response to your e-mail, please go to http://voinovich.senate.gov and click on the CONTACT tab to fill out the web CONTACT FORM.  By filling out this form, you will receive a written response from my office.

Thank you for your patience.  Should you experience any problems with my web CONTACT FORM, please call my office at 202-224-3353 and my staff will be happy to guide you through the electronic correspondence process.

Sincerely,

George V. Voinovich
United States Senator

What he's saying is that he doesn't want any petitions, or organized email campaigns by groups such as ConservativeAlerts.com. If he impedes the ability to easily send emails on important issues, he doesn't have to hear about it.
