Just got off the phone with the Washington,D.C. office of my congressman. I expressed my opinion about illegal aliens. I was told by one Amy Linn, intern, that I needed to give my name and address so that my opinion could be logged. I explained to Ms. Linn that I have given my name and address repeatedly over the course of the past 2 months and NOT ONCE have I received a response from the representative or his office.

Now here's the good part: "Maybe your opinions got lost in the shuffle."
How in the heck can they lose at least 30 calls and emails "in the shuffle"?

Obviously they aren't losing them. They are blatantly and purposely DESTROYING THEM. There is no other reasonable explanation.

I will continue to call and email because I know it is making some kind of an impact. Ms. Linn's little remark has just made me even more RESOLUTE.
