Dole’s office responds to request for assistance

I read with dismay the letter of Sandy Bundgaard (May 21) and the complaint, obviously correct in her experience, about the poor constituent service afforded to her by Sen. Elizabeth Dole’s office.

However, my experience was completely different. I requested assistance, using the same background information material on a State Department matter, from Sens. Dole and Richard Burr and Rep. Howard Coble, all my immediate congressional representatives.

I had no response from Burr, one short discouraging telephone call from Coble’s staff with no subsequent follow-up although it was requested, and an immediate response, establishing an interest in helping me if possible, by Dole’s staff. They made no promises, yet my problem was solved simply by a show of interest in the matter by Senator Dole’s office.

Only one of these three will get my vote in the next election. I leave it to the reader to judge which one that will be.

Gee that's a judgment to make, Harris.

By the way, can anyone tell me where Liddy Dole's residence in North Carolina is? How about the last time she spent the night there?

...a difficult judgment...

Same song, if I read this letter 1 time I have seen it 50 times in the NR. What was it that professor said last week, do not believe a thing you see in a newspaper. Wonder why this person left out Brad Miller? I written Burr several letters and also received a reply. May have not liked the answer, but always got a reply.

In February, I wrote to Burr, Coble, and Dole regarding the suspension of adoptions in Vietnam (friends have been waiting over a year for their son) by U.S. government. No response from Dole, not a peep, But received sincere and supportive responses from Mr. Burr and Mr. Coble. I have never felt "Libby" had the best interests of North Carolinians in mind, just her own self-aggrandizing agenda. I'd vote for my dog before I would ever vote for Mrs. Bob Dole.
