I don't know how many of you remember, but about a month or so ago I took my frustrations out on my senators in the form of a satirical letter. In this letter, I demanded that they release all incarcerated Americans, regardless of their crimes, who had children. I implored Boxer and Frankenstein to think of the innocent children who had nothing to do with the crime, who are now being deprived of a parent. I was hoping to show the insanity of the argument that illegals with children should be given a "free pass" so not to punish the "innocent children". While I was out on vacation, I actually received a reply. I thought this was too funny to keep to myself.

ear Mrs. XXXXX:



Thank you for writing to express your views regarding children whose parents are currently incarcerated. I read your comments with interest and will keep your comments in mind as my staff and I review legislation. Please feel free to contact me again in the future with any matter that is of importance to you. I value your opinion and appreciate your interest in actively contributing to the legislative process.



If you have further questions, or if there is some way I can assist you in the future on other matters, please do not hesitate to contact one of my offices:

Sincerely yours, Dianne Feinstein
United States Senator
