There was a story on KIMT about the station sending out 30 letters to area politicians. The letter was sent by someone working for the station and asked the politician some questions about the foster care system. Out of a dozen responses mayor Eatons made the biggest impression. She respond right away with a hand-written response. That's pretty good considering the letter likely had a Mason City return address.

A few days later the written responses she had asked for in the letter started coming in. So who responded? Anne received a personal note from the mayor of Albert Lea, letters from the governors of both Minnesota and Iowa, as well as other lawmakers.

The president's response may still be on the way, but chances are it isn't hand-written - like the note from the mayor of Albert Lea. Anne says,"The one that's most meaningful for me is the one that Jean Eaton from Albert Lea wrote."

Was this the person with an Iowa address? She should check her mail, I thought it was odd that some one from Iowa would send a letter, but I sent a response back. I remember it because of the person being out of state.

I'll simplify...
I have emailed representatives in St. Paul a couple of times, with no reponse received.
I did not email repdan (I know better).
