Dear Friend: Thank you for contacting my Congressional Office. Due to the tremendous increase in emails I receive from Americans across the country, I have closed this account. However, you can continue to email me by visiting my web site, http://www.house.gov/writerep. Please resend your message there. This format allows me to receive emails directly from constituents of the First Congressional District and I will be able to provide you with a response to any problem or question you may have. Again, thank you contacting my office. Sincerely, MIKE THOMPSON Member of Congress First District of California
