Brad Sherman, my Congressman (person)

My Congressman is Brad Sherman. He's a nerd, always was always will be. He'll never be cool but sometimes he looks as though he's thinking he is. I've never met the guy and if his responses to my letters are anything like him I'm glad I've never met him. He would really piss me off in person. Once I called his office to find out how he was going to vote on a particular bill. The chickie who answered the phone said she couldn't speak on behalf of the Congressman and said she didn't know how he was going to vote. Fuck you, Brad.

Check this out: I sent an email asking if Congress was serious about buying those jets when the rest of the US is in the tank. His emailed response came about 10 days later. (10 days to click "reply" is a bit too long. In fact, there's got to be a machine that automatically sends the response.) It's a very polite response and even includes a little commercial-- Notice how they hit the return key a lot to spread it out --

Dear Mr. Locke:



Thank you very much for contacting me. I appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns with me.



Hearing from you is very important to me because it provides me with insight into your thoughts and concerns on the major issues facing Congress today. I look forward to your continued input and will keep your concerns in mind.



Only part of my job is voting in Washington. Another important part of my job is helping resolve problems that constituents are experiencing with federal agencies like the Social Security Administration or Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services. If you are interested in any of these services, please contact my district office at (818) 501-9200 or visit my website at http://BradSherman.house.gov.



You can also follow me on Twitter by visiting Twitter.com/BradSherman, or become my fan on Facebook. My official government Facebook page is registered as "Congressman Brad Sherman."



Again, thank you very much for contacting me and sharing your views. I hope to hear from you further in the future.



Sincerely,

Brad Sherman
Member of Congress
