Your taxes at work for Rick

Rick Santorum will remain a U.S. Senator and continue to receive a taxpayer-funded salary to represent the people of Pennsylvania until January 3rd. He also has 9 offices that will continue to operate at taxpayer expense.

So we found it very interesting when we learned that Santorum is apparently no longer interested in providing constituent service, or even responding to requests or inquiries sent to his office.
How did we learn this? A reader recently sent us a copy of the following auto-response email she received after submitting an email through Santorum's senate web site. We then also submitted an email to Rick's office and received the same response. Here it is:

Thank you for contacting me. As always, I appreciate hearing from you.
As you may know, the United States Senate is currently in a period of
transition. Accordingly, your concerns may be better met by contacting
your new Senator, Bob Casey, Jr. You may call the Capitol Switchboard for
Senator Casey’s contact information at 202-224-3121. I also recommend
that you contact Senator Arlen Specter or your Representative in the
House.

Thank you again for contacting me.

Sincerely,
Rick Santorum
United States Senate

Since Rick is no longer interested in serving his constituents, do you think he'll stop collecting his salary from the taxpayers? Of course not, because Rick has always believed the rules are different for him.

1. "no longer interested in serving his constituents"

You mean there was a time when he actually was interested? :crazy:

[babylonsister]

2. Couldn't this fall under the category of an ethics violation? More

squandered funds that could be put to good use elsewhere.

3. What a fucking sack of "conservative" values

the correct thing to do would be to notify the constituent that they would start action on their concern and pass onto Senator Casey's office any and all pertinent data. Its great the citizens of my birthstate are so well taken care of by the dogfucking conservative bastard.

5. That would be "compassionate conservative" to you.

[Cosmocat]

6. Yep ...

12+ plus years of scumbags like him going on, and on, and ON about "good values", and this is what their actions have ALWAYS BEEN ...

4. Typical Repug -- everyone from "Loser" districts should try writing to them

I bet you all get similar responses.

7. He's still sending out fundraising letters, too

Heard from a neighbor that they got a letter asking them to send money for "emergency debt retirement" or some such thing. In other words, now that I've lost, how about kicking in money for my campaign?

8. The entire Repug congress is on strike right now

I've been hearing this from a number of sources that the Rethugs have over $500 Billion of apporpriations that they are just leaving for the next session. Apparently they think that if they do nothing in the lame-duck session, the dems will be too overwhelmed to follow their 100 hours agenda.
