Answering the Email

"You're pulled in a lot of directions, but what your constituents want is paramount," [Representative] Edwards said.

[Rep.] Wilcox agrees. He will read e-mails from a constituent before he reads the ones that are "blasted to everyone," he said.

Edwards and [Senator] Liljenquist said if they don't answer the e-mails during the day, they usually will in the evening.

"I get an e-mail and I'll respond, and then I get a reply from my constituent saying they appreciate the answer, but what am I doing up at 1:15 a.m.?" Edwards said. "This is the time I can answer the e-mails."
