Good for you, Jeanne.  Go ahead and call the staff person, have a list  
of talking points and give it to her!  These canned responses are not  
bad, as if enough people write, it will make an impact.

(Summary = Talking points)

My responses have been canned, too.  My most interesting one was a  
response to a subject completely different than the PUPS bill.  I  
disagreed with Ms. Feinstein on that one, too.
