Another Friday without a letter to Senator Fetterman but with a discussion of the letters from Senator Fetterman.
On August 5, I sent a link to this blog post to the Senator's office.
While it's snark quotient wasn't that high, it's SQ wasn't zero, either. I simply pointed out that in the space of just under a dozen minutes I received two identical emails from the Senator's office.
That was August 5. The next day - August 6 - in the space of just under twenty minutes, I received fully six emails from Fetterman's office.
The first two (received at 10:41AM and 10:48AM) both begin with this:
Thank you so much for reaching out to my office. I appreciate hearing from you.
I believe that Pennsylvanians deserve a strong voice in Washington, so hearing from constituents like you about these critical issues is essential to my work. I’m here in D.C.
And continue identically. It's the same email sent twice.
One minute later, at 10:49AM, I received an email that begins thusly:
Thank you for reaching out to my office. I appreciate hearing from you.
As your senator, I’ve been clear about my views on immigration. I’m unapologetically pro-immigration because I know that it’s what makes our country great, and I know that so much of our country was built on the backs, and by the hands, of immigrants.
It was followed at 10:50AM, and twice at 10:58AM by the same letter.
Six emails but only two sets of texts and none of them even remotely addressing the questions I raised to the Senator.
I wasn't asking about immigration, I was asking for a comment about Kristi Noem. I wasn't asking about Civil Rights, I was asking for a comment about Pam Bondi. He voted to confirm both.
Shouldn't our elected representatives be responsive to our questions and concerns?
Pennsylvanians deserve better.
