getting a lot of faxes. There is no way you can see all of that stuff.
So what is the priority for staff? What do they pass onto you?
A. More than anything else, they try to separate issues based on
relationships. We look at those issues that are sent to us by
people we know first, and we try to give a response to everybody.
I am one of the rare ones that looks at all my e-mail.
Q. OK – so you actually sit down at the computer and go through
your e-mail. But you say that is rare, so most others don’t?
A. That is true. I will have to issue one condition on that. If I
detect that the e-mails I am getting are form e-mails, generally I
will read the first one and delete the rest. We can’t respond to all
of the form e-mails. If you want your e-mails to a legislator,
whether it is in Tallahassee or Washington, if you want it to be
effective, my advice would be to put it in your words, don’t use
somebody else’s form e-mail, but make it personal.
