Here's what I got from my senator:
Dear Mrs. Pauls,
Thank you for taking time to contact my office to share your concerns about ammunition containing lead-core components. Your input is important to me, and I appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts.
I understand your concerns that EPA has received a petition calling for a ban on traditional ammunition containing lead-core components and is considering taking such action. Also, thank you for making the points and including the information you did in your letter about possible inaccuracies contained in the petition. My staff and I will certainly look into any EPA action on traditional lead-core component ammunition and the information contained in your letter will undoubtedly be helpful to us in doing so.
Thank you again for your letter. I hope you will continue to share your thoughts with me.
Sincerely,
Bob Corker
United States Senator
Here's what I sent back:
While I appreciate your automated response, you have completely missed the point. I was not complaining about ammunition. That was already "shot" down. My letter was in reference to that part of the petition regarding lead in fishing tackle. Maybe you should read my email again . . . slowly and without distractions . . . better yet . . . actually read it yourself instead of a staffer . . . . hmmmm
Active voter and constituent,
