Anyone else suddenly getting responses from Senator Webb?

I contacted Senator Webb on at least two occassions via his Senate website. The most contact would have been in December. I never received any replies. On January, 16, I received a generic "thanks for writing" response. Today, I received a more direct response regarding the letter to Interior Department Secretary. Has Senator Webb finally started reading correspondence from his website?

I received a somewhat generic response after I wrote in April 07 asking him not to jump on the bandwagon and start initiating rash legislation after VT.

Last week I got a generic "thank you for making your views known" e-mail.

That's all.

As I've posted and blogged, I wrote him no fewer than six times on supporting concealed carry in the National Parks. Finally I just asked for his views, since he seemed to be unwilling to acknowledge mine.

Still nothing.

I've only written 2-3 others outside of those. I will continue to write, as I feel it my duty, but :banghead::banghead::banghead: seems to be MUCH more productive.

This is what I got long after I emailed about the carry in Federal parks....

Dear Mr. Kaiheitai17:

Thank you for contacting my office regarding the bipartisan letter I sent with Senator Mike Crapo] and 45 other Senators to Interior Department Secretary Dirk Kempthorne. I appreciate you taking time to share your thoughts and concerns with me.

Because I believe law-abiding citizens should have the right to transport firearms on certain land managed by the National Park Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service, I joined 46 of my colleagues in asking that both the National Park Service and the Fish and Wildlife Service allow citizens to carry firearms in accordance with state law.

I believe this change in administrative rules is needed in order to bring legal consistency for geographic areas within a particular state. For instance, under current rules a person legally authorized to carry a gun under state law would be in violation of the law if he or she merely drives into another part of the state under the jurisdiction of the National Park Service.

As you know, the Second Amendment] states in pertinent part that ".the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." I believe that this right is important to ensuring individual freedom. Moreover, I take seriously my role as a United States Senator in protecting this constitutional right.

As the U.S. Senate continues to consider legislation pertaining to Second Amendment rights and administrative rules, please be assured that I will take your views into account on this important issue. I hope that you will continue to express your views with me and my staff in the years ahead.

I would also invite you to visit my website at <a href="http://www.webb.senate.gov/">http://www.webb.senate.gov</a> for regular updates about my activities and positions on matters that are important to Virginia and our nation.

Thank you again for contacting my office.

Sincerely,
Jim Webb
United States Senator

If it was yesterday, it might have been this:

Mr. and Mrs. Tess xxxxxxxxxx (I used "Mr & Mrs" as my selection from the drop down,as it didn't offer a "none" for salutation)

Dear bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
Thank you for contacting my office regarding Michael Sullivan, Acting Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). I appreciate you taking time to share your thoughts and concerns with me.
In October 2006, according to a White House spokesperson, President Bush appointed Mr. Sullivan acting director so that he would be installed quickly, without being confirmed by the U.S. Senate. In March 2007, President Bush nominated Mr. Sullivan to be the permanent Director of ATF. Mr. Sullivan's nomination was reported out of the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary in November 2007, and is awaiting consideration before the full U.S. Senate. I will continue to review Mr. Sullivan's decisions as Acting Director of ATF, and his testimony given to the Senate Judiciary committee. I will support Mr. Sullivan's nomination only if it is in the best interest of Virginians and our nation as a whole.
Thank you once again for your correspondence on this matter. Your thoughts are helpful to me and my staff. I hope you continue to share your views with us in the years ahead.
I would also invite you to visit my website at <a href="http://www.webb.senate.gov/">www.webb.senate.gov</a> for regular updates about my activities and positions on matters that are important to Virginia and our nation.


OK...says nothing. Doesn't agree to support or oppose. And takes a dig at the administration (not that they don't deserve it, but it has no place in this type of correspondence) and quotes a "spokesman" - like he wasn't willing to quote a source or get to the source, but was willing to believe what he wants.

I'm becoming LESS impressed by the minute.

And BTW, he has been mentioned as a possible Running Mate for the female socialist candidate.
