Reply from U.S. Senator Pat Toomey
March 2, 2012

Dear Marc,

Thank you for contacting me about H.R. 3785. I appreciate hearing from you.

As you know, Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) introduced H.R. 3785 in the House of Representatives on January 18, 2012. This measure would repeal section 1021 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012. I understand your concerns about the detention of enemy combatants, some of whom may be American citizens and value your input. H.R. 3785 is still pending in the House of Representatives. Please be assured that I will keep your views about this legislation in mind should it come before the Senate for consideration.

Thank you again for your correspondence. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future if I can be of assistance.

Sincerely,

 

Pat Toomey

U.S. Senator, Pennsylvania

Note to Congressional staff & elected officials reading this: this letter was sent through Contact-Congress features on OpenCongress.org, a free public resource website, but in the future we seek to compel the U.S. Congress to adopt fully open technology for constituent communications. For more information how your office can better handle public feedback through an open API and open standards, contact us -- even today, there are significantly more efficient and responsive ways for our elected officials to receive email feedback than the status quo of individual webforms. For greater public accountability in government, we must make the process of writing one's members of Congress more accessible and empowering. Looking ahead, we will release more data from Contact-Congress letters and Congressional response rates back into the public commons. This will result in a new open data source on bills & issues people care about, as well as encourage best practices in constituent communications and make it possible to grade members of Congress on their responsiveness & citizen satisfaction.
