Letters: How politicians avoid hearing from people

Re “I’ve worked to fight gun violence. But the Tehama County rampage hit close to home.” (Viewpoints, Nov. 15): I tried to take op-ed writer Nicholas Kitchel's suggestion to call Rep. Doug LaMalfa's office. His mailbox is full and is not taking messages. I tried to e-mail him but his website will not let me send an e-mail because my ZIP Code is not in his district. That is how you do not allow input from those who may disagree with you
