Thank you for contacting me.  Your message is very important.

Due to the discovery of anthrax on Capitol Hill, our offices have been closed since Wednesday October 17th in order to be evaluated.  We have made every effort to continue the work on behalf of our constituents at an offsite location, and aside from a few technical difficulties, this effort has been largely successful.

In order to continue effective constituent contact, I have set up an efficient way for you to contact me through my website.  Once you log on to my homepage at www.house.gov/degette, please click on the "Contact Diana" button on the left hand side of your screen.  Then click on "Write Your Representative" and follow the instructions from there.  This system will ensure the most timely response to every constituent who writes me.

Thank you for your support and understanding through these challenging times.
