<p class=MsoNormal>I am not fond of many of Sali's votes and positions

responded to my letter or email with something other than a canned response.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>It is clear to me that Sali and/or his staff actually took
the time and effort to research, find out the facts, and individualize their
response to your letter so that they could provide information that was
accurate.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I would be shocked to get such a response. As 90% of the
time I write a government official I get a letter back that is either a
canned general response, doesn't address what I was asking, or I never get a
response at all. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>August of an election year, is in all honestly, the worst

<p class=MsoNormal>It would be nice if our represenatatives could drop
