Not a single response

So far, I haven't received a single response. This leads me to question whether the ones leading us actually have any idea of the United States direction, or they just weren't interested in responding to me- my inclination is it's both. The lack of response did motivate me to do something that I should have done a long time ago, call Jeff Bingaman's office (Senator from New Mexico). Within the last 2 years, I've sent his office several e-mails and postal letters. Not once did I receive a response to my questions and or concerns. I might've been able to excuse them for not responding to my e-mails, but via postal mail... I really believe this one to be inexcusable. I've written to other congressmen and have received responses (actually, I've only received a response from one congressperson -Steve Pearce, R, NM-, and that was regarding a bill that I didn't support but he and his district did. Though, all the same, at least he responded). It's quite disappointing that the officials who have been placed into office by people like me, won't spend the time to acknowledge our thoughts or positions.
Personally fed up with this situation, I decided to call his office and let them know of my dissatisfaction. I know, it sounds like I don't have enough to do. Well, this couldn't be further from reality. I just personally believe we need to start holding our Representatives accountable for their actions- or in this case, inaction's. Remember, they are our representatives. If we don't express our thoughts, opinions, likes, and dislikes, they'll just continue on with the status quo.
