[nfb-talk] {Disarmed} Fw: www_email

It does seem like a form email, which doesn't surprise me.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."

You are, of course, correct.  Such responses are not at all 
unusual from
senators or representatives of either party, of course.  A more 
personalized
response would be rather unusual and it has been my experience 
that these
usually come only from politicians with whom one has developed a 
personal
relationship.  This is why our leadership constantly hammers at 
us to develop
such relationships when possible.

Again, although such canned responses are regrettable from our 
point of
view, if you consider how many people write to senators and 
representatives,
they would do nothing but answer email were they to devote the 
sort of
personalized attention to them that all of us would like.  
President Lincoln
answered most of his mail himself by hand (typewriters were 
relatively rare
then) but I dare say he'd be swamped were he to be alive now and 
practicing
the same behavior.

Seems like canned crap to me.  Sorry y'all; but, frankly, I 
consider that
very much a  non answer.  Why?  Simple.  It addresses nothing of 
our
concerns specifically.  But, of course, you know this right?  I 
could have
written her about garbage pick up on the moon and gotten back the 
same
response.  "Garbage pick up on the moon?  How rediculous!" you 
say; and, of
course, you're right.  Makes the point  all the same.

 Dear Mr.  Chrane:



    Thank you for getting in touch with me.  It's good to hear 
from you.



    I appreciate your thoughts on the National Federation of the 
Blind's
legislative priorities.  As a United States Senator, I am 
committed to
meeting the day to day needs of Marylanders and the long-term 
needs of our
nation.  One of my guiding principles here in the Senate is that 
Marylanders
have a right to know, to be heard, and to be represented.  
Information from
people like you is essential if I am to be not only the Senator 
from
Maryland, but also the Senator for Maryland.



    If I can be of assistance in the future, or if there is any 
other
federal issue on which you would like to comment, please feel 
free to let me
know.




 Sincerely,
 Barbara A.  Mikulski
 United States Senator
