Dear Mr. President,

Well, I've certainly held up my end! I have written you two dozen letters this year, but I think you�ve dropped the ball--you�ve only written me once. I know you sent me all those pictures of you and the fam, and I appreciated that. And your wife (Laura) sent a picture to my grandson, Lester. But the only time you've written me was when you were on vacation in Crawford and you wrote me a really nice letter saying you appreciated my prayers and you were praying for our country and praying for our troops and I think you said you were praying for a bunch of other things too.

I know you must be awfully busy. But Mr. President, you have elections to think of. I bet I'm not the only 'pen pal' you haven't written to, and if this is an indicator of how you treat your constituents, you're in 'deep doo-doo.' (Remember when your dad said that?) People are going to start thinking you don't care about them.

I know it's almost been three years, and you've had a pretty steep learning curve, but here's what most presidents do: They send a form letter. Here's an example:

Dear Mr. Estrada,
Due to the heavy volume of mail I receive, I regret I am not able to respond personally. Please be assured that your comments are appreciated and have been duly noted. Thank you for taking the time to write.
Sincerely,
President George W. Bush

They have automatic signature stamps so you wouldn't even have to sign it. President Clinton had a nice touch--he used to send me pictures of him giving the thumbs up with Al Gore and they were signed, Your friend, Bill Clinton.

I just think if you want people to vote for you, you should write them back. I bet General Clark would at least send a form letter if he were president.

Awaiting a reply,

Carl Estrada
