I recently received a reply from you to a message that I sent through www.opencongress.org . In essence the message said that you will not respond to communications sent through third parties.
The purpose of this letter is to register my disappointment in your decision to not accept electronic e-mail correspondence through third parties such as www.opencongress.org because sites like this allow citizens to track, read, and evaluate legislation and directly, efficiently, and effectively contact their representatives about matters important to them. It also allows individual citizens to follow the progression of the bill through congress and monitor the way individual representatives voted on that piece of legislation.
Clearly, your interest is to reframe the communication between you and your constituents in a way that makes it more convenient for you rather than the citizen. That is precisely why Washington is a problem and why I will work as hard as I can to see that the voters of Virginia do not return you to your elected office at the first opportunity.
