I received a fax at my office from Congressman Pete Sessions.

When I prepared my response, ready to fax it, I discovered that his fax didn’t work. So I called the number.

Some operator from the National Republican Congressional Committee answered and wanted to play a statement from the congressman and “put me on the list.” When I told her NOT to put me on the list, I broke her script.

When I asked her for the congressman’s email address, she was flustered and said she could only get me to the nrcc.org website, that’s all. Obviously, the congressman is good at sending out mass faxes, but not good at providing ways for his constituents to get back to him. I eventually found his website and filled out the “contact” form with the message below.

OPEN LETTER TO CONGRESSMAN PETE SESSIONS:

To Congressman Pete Sessions

Fax: 1-866-280-5716

Subject: Your fax dated 12-18-2012

Open Letter to President Obama

Dear Congressman:

Please do NOT add my name to your open letter.

I believe you took the president’s statement in your fax out of context and twisted the message. I heard that speech, and that was not the message.

Your statement about taxes makes no sense to me. Below is a link to a blog entry I wrote that explains my statement.

You really should be adding an email address to allow us to respond without having to cut trees  and send paper faxes.

Sincerely,
Norbert Haupt.
