This constituent wants leaders who respond
I try to be active in the political process and give input to my representatives at the local, state and national levels. It is very frustrating when they are not responsive in any way. I have e-mailed Sen. Hagan a number of times and, other than one auto response saying I would get a response in the future (which never came), I have never gotten a reply.
I’ve e-mailed the mayor, City Council and my councilman via the city’s Web site and have never gotten a response from any of them.
I will say that on the state level the response is good, and the same with Congressman Coble and Sen. Burr.
Is it any surprise that the level of confidence in politicians is at an all-time low?

I contacted both Senators Burr and Hagan in early February. I received the same auto response from Hagan that you got and I just got a relevant form letter from Burr this past Wednesday. I figured when I contacted them that Hagan deserved a little more leeway since she just moved up there, but as time goes on, I'll expect more prompt responses.
That said...Burr has been there for more than 5 months and I just got his response on Wednesday....so, I'm not sure any of them understand 'prompt.'

Never heard from Dole, haven't heard from Hagan in two attempts, always get a written response from Burr & Coble in a timely manner.
