To help the July-September group get out of the black hole, I sent an e-mail also. This is what I got from vice president, auto-reply: Thank you for emailing Vice President Cheney. Your ideas and comments are very important to him. Unfortunately, because of the large volume of email received, the Vice President cannot personally respond to each message. However, the White House staff considers and reports citizen ideas and concerns. Again, thank you for your email. Your interest in the work of Vice President Cheney and the administration is appreciated. Sincerely, The White House Office of E-Correspondence
