So, why don't some Reps in Olympia want to hear from the Netroots?
I'm building the pages to contact the House committees, and I notice that at least two members (so far) of OUR legislature have asked to have their email addresses removed from the list.
I asked leg.wa.gov Support, and confirmed that this was intentional. So, my question now is why?
Why doesn't our representative for Ellensburg, home of Central Washington University, or Kittitas, capital of Kittitas County, or Moses Lake, location of the Grant County Airport, want to hear from her constituents? Of course, Judy Warnick would say that she does, she just wants to force those citizens to jump through additional hoops and use the telephone or snail mail. Why doesn't our representative for Ritzville, capital of Adams County, or Asotin, capital of Asotin County, or Pullman, location of Washington State University, or Cheney, location of Eastern Washington University, want to hear from his constituents? Of course, Steve Hailey would say that he does, he just wants to force those citizens to jump through additional hoops and use the telephone or snail mail. I don't know if the standard email format works for these two Representatives, but if it does, that format is lastname.firstname@leg.wa.gov. I'm considering whether I should include email addresses using this format on the forms I'm building, but I'd like confirmation from someone in those districts what those email addresses actually are, and if they work at all. If someone wants to check and get back to me about that, please do. And if I find any other Representatives or Senators, from either party, who choose not to make it as easy as possible for their constituents to contact them. I'll add their names to this post.
