I intermittently receive emails (Lucas_d_Smith@live.com) and telephone calls (319.804.0440) asking me whatever became of the Lucas Daniel Smith 4th of July (2010) letter to United States Congress?<\/span><\/p>\n

For readers who are not already aware, I sent a seven page 4th of July (2010) Letter to every single member (minus two vacant seats at the time: House District 3 of Indiana<\/strong> and House District 29 of New York<\/strong>)\u00a0of US Congress, including non-voting members.\u00a0\u00a0Five hundred thirty-nine (539)\u00a0letters in total.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each letter was individually addressed to its Congressional recipient. Each letter was notarized in July of 2010 at US Bank\u00a0located at 222 2nd\u00a0Avenue SE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52401. Following each letter are scans of the letters hand addressed envelope as well as the USPS date stamped certified mail receipt.\u00a0All of the letters were sent in August of 2010 at the counters of\u00a0the United States Post Offices located at 615 6th Avenue SE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52401 and 1930 Wiley Boulevard SW, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52404.<\/span><\/p>\n

All postage fees, certified mail fees and notary fees\u00a0were paid for in full (more than $3000.00 US Dollars<\/strong>) by friend and compatriot, Bruce Steadman<\/span><\/a><\/span> of Georgia.<\/span><\/p>\n

The said letters, hand addressed envelopes (with postage), attachments and USPS Certified Mail receipts have been available to the public since September of 2010 in PDF format via my Patriot1980 scribd.com account in this folder<\/span><\/a><\/span>.\u00a0 The PDF is nearly 4000 pages in length and, due to the file size, had to be divided into 8 segments for upload to the scribd.com website.\u00a0 The letters are grouped by state, commonwealth and territory. Letters are listed in alphabetical order by the last name of the Congressional recipient.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever became of the letter?\u00a0 Out of the 539 letters sent I received 3 postal mail replies:<\/span><\/p>\n

1.<\/strong>\u00a0 David “Dave” Loebsack (D – Iowa), US House of Representatives, September 1, 2010.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/strong>\u00a0 Charles “Chuck” Grassley (R – Iowa), US Senate, September 3, 2010.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.<\/strong>\u00a0 Joseph “Joe” Lieberman (D- Connecticut), US Senate, September 22, 2010.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their enveloped letters, along with 2 relatively gimongous stacks of 539 USPS Certified Mail Receipts, are pictured at the head of this report.<\/span><\/p>\n
