Mayor Lee,
Please do not send auto-reply or form letters. I consider them insulting and a waste of my time, as I'm sure do many San Francisco voters. If your office has nothing to say that's related to what I specifically wrote, better to say nothing.
Love & Liberty,

Thank you for contacting us, Mr. Starchild. Your ideas are taken seriously and have been forwarded to the appropriate committee
Sincerely,
Edward Lee
LOL, Marcy! If you ever need extra work, it appears you have a bright future as a PR flack for the mayor's office.

Huuumm...that's an idea for extra work, Starchild. I can just stop by my nearest lobotomy clinic on my way to applying for the job! Meanwhile I will just despair at the thought of the BOS succeeding in nullifying initiatives, thereby ensuring the City Fathers' lucrative status quo. Given that attempting to communicate with the BOS elicits the response you experienced, and given that whoever gets elected to the BOS appears to follow the same views, I would imagine initiatives are the only tool available to attempt change.
BTW, going back to Ann's great letter, her mention of a law suit is genial. We need to use that approach more often!
Marcy
We should have an intern program for law students that enables them to get course credit for suing the government on our behalf.
Love & Liberty,
