Senator Lieberman's response

I sent an email to Senator Lieberman expressing my disappointment on the position he has just taken on healthcare. I noted that I was a contributor and worker in his campaign for president in 2003, contributing more money and time than I had ever given to any candidate prior.

This was his reply:

Dear Mr. Baker:

Thank you for taking the time to contact me. I appreciate the opportunity to know your opinions on the pressing issues facing our nation. Regrettably, due to the huge volume of mail that I receive, I am only able to research and address comments sent to me from Connecticut residents. If you are not from Connecticut, you may want to consider sending a message to the Senators from your state of residence. You can do so by visiting http://www.senate.gov for a link to the websites of each member of the United States Senate. The websites for each member of the United States House of Representatives can be accessed at http://www.house.gov. These sites also list the standard postal mailing address for each Senator and Representative. If you are currently residing out of state, but are still a Connecticut resident or have a connection to Connecticut, please be certain to use your Connecticut address or indicate your Connecticut connection in future communications.

I value having the benefit of your thoughtful concerns, since I do receive detailed weekly reports from my staff providing a sampling of comments from across the country on timely issues before Congress.

Thank you again for sharing your views and concerns with me. I hope you will continue to visit my website at http://lieberman.senate.gov for updated news about my work on behalf of Connecticut and the nation. Please contact me if you have any additional questions or comments about our work in Congress.

Sincerely,


Joseph I. Lieberman
UNITED STATES SENATOR
