Petition went to Lundgren instead of Matsui

Hi, 1st post here;

 Democrats.com failed to send my petition to the right District Rep.

    I just sent a petition in support of HR 676:

(1st line) 

"Dear Representative,

I urge you to co-sponsor H.R. 676, the "Medicare For All" Bill introduced by Rep. John Conyers." 

 

There is no way to enter my full Zip Code 95660-5479, which might clear up my District.

 

I am Represented by Doris Matsui (D, District 5), NOT Dan Lundgren (R, District 3).

 

This has happened in the past as well. 

Thanks

I hope an adjustment can be made.

I just got an auto-email from

Yup, I just got an auto email from Lundgren's office:

 

"Thank you for your email about the issues that are of concern to you.  I appreciate that you have sought my counsel.  You are receiving this email because you do not reside in the 3rd Congressional District ofCalifornia.  Although I appreciate knowing your views, I would also recommend that you contact your representative in Congress to ensure that you are properly served.  If you visit the official House website,www.house.gov, you should be able to find your representative by entering your zip code.  


Again, I thank you for communicating with me and I hope you will continue to stay involved in the legislative process. 
   If you feel that you have received this letter in error and are a resident of the 3rd district, please contact my district office at 916-859-9906." 

 

Note:I have side note;  The district line cuts through my Mobile Home Park to where 99% of the Park is in Matsui's District 5. That means Democrats.com is erring toward the vast minority in sending these petitions.I am not comfortable posting my exact address on the internet, but if the/an administrator of Democrats.com would like to contact me via IM or email I will give a Google Map of my location.

we changed your district

to CA03.

Our lookup is based on actual street address, not zip+4.

WRONG

But thats WRONG!

I am in District 5. Doris Matsui is my HOUSE REP (NOT THAT REPUGNICAN BASTARD LUNDGREN)

Enter my address and/or Zip (95660 - 5479) HERE:

Are you using an old District map?

 I REPEAT, I am in District 5 

 Thanks,

Dan 

 

EDIT TO ADD:
I went to the State Assembly website http://www.assembly.ca.gov/defaulttext.asp and did a look up "Find My District" it came up with a STATE ASSEMBLY REP in District 5 as well. (State Senate Rep is from District 6, but that doesnt explain where you guys are getting District 3)

Just Checked...

 I just checked "My Account" > "Personal Info" and you have me listed CA District 05 (correct)

So if that wasnt just now changed WHY was my petition sent to Lundgren Dist 03?

I suppose you guys must have just now changed it.

 I will just kick back now. 

Thanks for fighting the good fight!

NOW IT SAYS DISTRICT 03 in

NOW IT SAYS DISTRICT 03 in "My Account"
I went in and deleted my phone number,
Why did THAT screw up what district I am in?

Damn!
I thought we had it.

I have other things to do

I AM IN CA DISTRICT 05

I AM IN CA DISTRICT 05

reset to CA05

n/t

I just emailed Rep Dan

I just emailed Rep Dan Lungren

"Dear Congressman,

I sent a petition the other day and your office replied that I am not one of your constituents. The Map on your website is dead (I tried 2 different Browsers several times). So I went to the US House of Representatives and entered my Zip Code... They say I am in your District. Then I went to California Secretary of State website and found a map (http://swdb.berkeley.edu/gis/) that; when I input my address:

 

   #### Valley Forge Lane, North Highlands, CA 95660-5479

 ... It says I am in District 5.

 

The website that generated the petition which was submitted to your office, insists I am in District 03.

 

Could this garbage be because the ENTRANCE of the Mobile Home park Is in your District and My actual residence is in District 05 ??

 

There should be a ROCK SOLID confirmation of who is my Representative. I want to see.

 

By the way, I just went back to the SoS website, entered my address and find out NOW I am in District 03. YOUR District, correct?

 

The best I can figure, is that Mr Lungren represents me in the afternoon; and Mrs Matsui in the morning.

 

Or I am right on the border and nobody represents me (Tax exempt?) (kidding)

 

Please help me out here.

Is there an official map that is hidden from us peasants?

 

Have a nice day!

 

  Oh, and please co-sponsor H.R. 676, the "Medicare For All" Bill introduced by Rep. John Conyers. 

 

  The Healthcare industries only profit if we are sick, and Insurance has played the pre-existing condition AGAINST Americans long enough.

 

Thank You,

Daniel G######### ""

 

I will keep you all posted.

Best wishes

Dan 

 

 

Thanks Bob!   Although I am

Thanks Bob!

 

Although I am in District 05, I am afraid other persons petitions in my district will be diverted to the wrong and OPPOSITE intended target. Rep Lungren will not even read them, they automatically get bumped like spam.

I talked to a phone person  in Lungrens office for about a half hour yesterday. He couldnt find ANY RECORD ON MY EMAIL, nor my petition.

 

So my Rep (Doris Matsui) doesnt know I want her to support HR 676. I guess I need to call next week.

 

Anyhow, the PROBLEM is in Lungrens court.

Here's the final diagnosis from the Director of the District Map used by Sec of State Debra Bowens website:

(I underlined the most important part) 

 

hi daniel

so here's the accurate answer to your question:

According to our online GIS, Maptitude, the census and the block 
equivalency files his address maps to the 5th Congressional District, 6th 
Senate District and the 5th
Assembly District.

Unfortunately, the online representative look-up on the House of 
Representatives website i.e.,
http://www.house.gov/
maps his zipcode to the 3rd Congressional District which may be the origin 
of the confusion.

Address:#### Valley Forge Lane
         North Highlands, CA 95660-5479
County = Sacramento County = 06067
Tract = 007413
Census Block = 1018
110th Congress = 5th CD
Senate District= 06
Assembly District= 05

this confirms my initial instinct about what was going on with the search. 
we are putting a note on our site so people always put in their entire 
address and not just the zip code, which may lead to problems with the 
geocoding if the zipcode is in more than one district. thanks for bringing 
this to our attention.
please let me know if you have further questions!

best,

karin
