As I mentioned in an earlier post today, I emailed President Trump to let him know that I expected him to stand steadfast in his commitment to the wall on the southern border. I described to him the low quality of people coming over that border, which I experienced from my position of educator in the NYC public school system. And I mean LOW. I reiterated my desire for the wall, in conclusion.
I guess his aides are working overtime to read all emails and letters addressed to him, as I received a boilerplate reply only a couple hours later:
"Instead of setting politics aside and putting the safety of our country first, Democrats in Congress have continued to obstruct. In doing so, they have refused to come together with Republicans to pass commonsense legislation that provides adequate funding to secure America's borders and prevent a partial government shut down.
As I have said throughout this process, I remain committed to finding an agreemnet that reopens our Government and ensures that our Nation's borders are safe and secure.
I urge Congress to rejoin me in Washington to immediatly pass appropriations legislation that properly addresses the critical issues affecting our Nation's security and prosperity.
Thank you for your email."
So what’s wrong with Boiler Plate? Sheez.
HAhaha. I am a NYer also. Upstate/Central/Triple Cities/Twin Tier - all the same place/region. Mostly conservative. Tenney let us down big time - she acted like she could care less about being reelected for a second term. Seriously. Bah! People need HEART!
LOL
Not only missed the boat on the spelling, he missed the boat in earning any.
I believe that our feral gubmint is irrepairably broken. I believ Washington city and burbs are inhabited by leaches that need extermination. I believe the United States has been laid waste by the values of leftists, communists, liberals, and progressives. Have a nice day.
This is the office of the President of the US so they will speak at a high level in terms of objectives and not details. The wall is just a means to an end and not an end to itself. The goal is border security.
How much time do you think President Trump would have to fight for us if he personally answered the fan mail? Hint, he wouldn't be able to even sort/prioritize the fan mail...
Im not bothered by the lack of specificity. It was probably written by a staffer who didnt want to make specific promises on behalf of the president. Its probably sent out in response to a wide range of correspondence, in which making specific promises would be irrelevant. I think the wording of the letter was driven by a need for efficiency.
Ill tell you what bothers me. The multitude of FReepers who think you said you were bothered by not getting a personal reply from President Trump. Im still not accustomed to seeing that level of ignorance elsewhere, though it abounds. Its especially shocking to see it here.
You got a canned reply that was written by some low-level intern. It’s as simple as that.
I think thousands of people are writing and emailing, and this reply is more than adequate to answer many similar emails. In a nation of 315 million people and counting, we can’t expect individual attention merely to an email.
