I looked through the sticky and did a few searches to see if there were any threads where people can post responses to the letters they've sent, but couldn't find any. If there is a better place to put this, feel free to move it. Not sure if it even matters, but I received this today. I think it's the first response I've gotten:

His letter basically told you that he isn't going to do a damn thing. It's just worded in political language.

looks like a standard "catchall" response where they just drop UIGEA or whatever issue you wrote about into the first sentence. This is done in busier offices for issues that aren't incredibly popular (offices will take top 20, 25, 30, or whatever number they decide) and wrtie form responses to all letters on those issues. All other letters get a standardized response such as this.

Essentially not enough letters have been written to him for him to take note.
