I was an intern for a congressman. My job was to answer and return constituent emails and calls. We took the feedback, searched for the proper prewritten form letter, printed it out and sent it back with a stamp of the congressman's signature. He never got a single bit of the feedback himself.

Not even a summary of the feedback? Or was the staff chief basically running the show policy wise?

  What do you mean, "policy wise"? Responding to (unpaid) feedback is in practice a PR / campaigning issue, not a question of policy.

    I would hope feedback from constituents would at least be a consideration in forming policy?

      If you're not paying the bills your views aren't interesting. Advertising is what wins elections.
