Cool, I got an email response from Senator Boxer. This seemed promising. But reality was disappointing…
OK, Senator Boxer gets extra credit for being the first to respond, but she loses points in the “Personal Reply” and “Data Management” categories. Her “auto-reply” feature pulled the suffix field from her contact database and used it as my last name. I included “J.D.” in the suffix because I graduated from law school. My last name is not “J.D.” 
Additionally, her letter doesn’t address which bill I wrote about, much less answer my questions. For what it’s worth (not much), here’s the response…
Dear Mr. J.D.:
Thank you for contacting me with your request for information about specific legislation. I believe that all citizens should become involved in the legislative process by letting their voices be heard, and I appreciate the time and effort that you took to write to me.
As you may know, the status of a bill often changes from one day to the next. To find the most accurate, up-to-date information about a specific bill, I would advise you to visit http://thomas.loc.gov. This site will allow you to track current and past legislation.
You can find more information about the federal government, my work in the Senate, and current issues on my website at http://boxer.senate.gov. On this site, you will find my statements and press releases about current events and pending legislation, links to other government websites, and detailed information about the many services that I am privileged to provide for my constituents.
Again, thank you for taking the time to write to me. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future about matters that are of importance to you.
Barbara Boxer
