“Thank you for your thoughts on this matter, I didn’t read them. Here is a boilerplate statement espousing all the great things about this bill that you specifically criticized in your message to me. Please don’t reach out again.”
This is exactly what they do. Interns look at them (or some text comparison output) and take a general temperature.
It usually doesn’t matter what you say (aside from for/against) because your opinion is going to turn into a tally mark on one side or the other. (To get any sort of real audience takes money.)
And then the tallies get ignored, unless an issue is going absolutely viral and the politician is on the wrong side of it.
