chelidonI have to say, I like my new Congresscritter (sample reply attached below). Yes, the system is in dire shape, but it gives me a bit of hope in the process when I can help send such folks to Washington.

Thank you for contacting me about H.R. 2015, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2007. I appreciate hearing from you.
I believe that everyone in this country should be afforded equal opportunity under the law. H.R. 2015 ensures this core principle by prohibiting Federal employment discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation. This legislation will provide new regulations, which would be enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. I am a proud cosponsor of H.R. 2015, which has been referred to the House Committee on Education and Labor. I will monitor this legislation closely and keep your thoughts in mind.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with me. If you would like information on this or any other issue, visit my website at http://hodes.house.gov. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future to express your views or if I can be of help on any matter.
Sincerely,
Paul Hodes
Member of Congress
