Constituents get the brush-off in two different fonts

In the last month I have written letters to both of our senators on certain issues, and their replies were the usual pastiche of supposedly mollifying text and overly long defenses of their votes. I expected that.

However, it was the form of the letters that caught my attention. In these email letters two different type fonts were used and in two different sizes (Times Roman and Helvetica). It seems to me that there is a file of random appropriate responses for any occasion — a faux efficiency cut and paste that seems to say “I really don’t have time for you.”

Perhaps the senators need to instruct their staff on proper written etiquette or at least good public relations. I have the impression that their constituents are not their priority anymore no matter what they say.
