Belly it is quite obvious that you did not read what i wrote.
People i have been talking to have been telling me that either they do not recieve replies or when they do ,
It states
That they will no longer be recieving any replies.
Not me.
I already know Combet will not reply to any of my letters.
I do not care who writes the letters, the fact is these people work for us.
Not the labor party,
not the liberal party
not the greens
and so forth.
When letters are written they should be replied to, no excuse.

Dear Mr Tapp,

May I respectively suggest a few points as to how
people can attract a politician's attention
when writing letters:

1) Include your name and address, introduce
yourself as a constituent.
2) Keep your letter brief (no longer than
one page) - and it should be
about one issue only.
3) Long letters are likely to be put aside
and read on a less busy day (and that day
may never come).
4) Be specific in what concrete action you'd
like the politician to take.
5) Be polite and courteous avoid accusing and
criticizing - that won't get you very far.
6) Add a personal touch - how their action will
help you, your family, and others.
7) Always send a Thank You letter - when
they let you know what they have tried to do on
your behalf.

Remember politicians are busy people - and following
some guidelines in letter writing - will help get
you positive results. Doing a bit of research on
the issues that you're concerned about,
adds a more professional touch to your letters.

thank you foxy

now busy people what with.
Nodding to party guidelines
Cleaning the boots of their leader.

No matter what if somebody writes a letter they should get a reply.

These people are there due to being elected so they work for the people of the electorate, and whether it is a nice sucking up to you and a party letter, or one which has complete contempt for them and their party they should reply to all.

Respect is earned not just given for being a representative.
Like we said in the army,
Even though you have to salute an officer you do not have to respect them.
Those that get respect make the effort, whilst those who do not, did not.

Dear Mr Tapp,

Again, respectively, it's very easy to
criticize anything. Anybody can do that.
However, it is more
difficult to offer constructive suggestions,
and ideas,
to constituents to try to resolve certain
issues. Blaming opponents for what they don't
do, doesn't achieve much.

Of course constituents
should receive replies from their elected Reps.
However, Is that the only issue
you've got to deal with? It certainly sounds like
it from your posts as that's all you've dealt with
on this thread of yours. What else have you got to
offer?

Or is this thread of yours merely a cover for an
attack on your opponents? In that case it sounds
like you've not got much ammunition. All you're
doing is singing the same song, repeatedly.

No it was not an attack just facts.
What do you expect,
as my post was also a question but i will reply to your post.

These are some of the points raised by people or i will put it this way, ex labor voters.

It was belly's first post that made me point out Combet.
As it is he who is ignoring the people.

So i had asked the question

OUR REPRESENTATIVES, WHAT DO WE EXPECT

So this is what you should be answering,
or do you expect nothing.

Dear Mr Tapp,

You're the one running for office, Sir.

I don't have to tell you what I expect,
you have to tell me - why anyone should
vote for you.

So, what are you offering?

Why should anyone vote for you ?

Let's start with that, shall we?
