I have received and processed your letter and deeply value the input that you have offered. I consider civic engagement to be the backbone of our democracy, and you can rest assured that I will keep your thoughts in mind when considering the COMPETES Act and similar legislation in the future. Again, thank you for contacting my office.
I am honored to represent you in the United States Senate, and I hope you will continue to contact me and my staff about the issues that are important to you. There are many challenges before us, but I know that if we work together, we will not only succeed, but make our state and nation stronger. For more information on my work in New Jersey and Washington, DC, please visit my website at booker.senate.gov.
Sincerely,
Cory A. Booker
United States Senator
Tell me if I'm wrong, but as I read this, I think Mr. Booker is going to require some more convincing.
I personally think that Mr. Booker missed the whole point and is just trying to talk you into voting for him.

This is basically what one of my senators replied back. I'm not too worried about them voting for the bill purely on the fact he's republican and so will automatically vote against it because it's a democrat bill. Doesn't matter what's in it.

Don't count on that. My Republican senator sent me the form letter back stating that she supports the bill.

Re: New Lacey Act Amendments
I received this response from my other U.S. Senator today:
Thank you for contacting me to express your concerns regarding the Lacey Act. Your opinion is very important to me, and I appreciate the opportunity to respond to you on this critical issue.
The Lacey Act is legislation designed to combat trafficking in “illegal” plants, fish, or wildlife. The statute was amended as part of the 2008 Farm Bill to include protections against illegally harvested lumber.
I understand your concerns about the regulatory burdens associated with complying with the Lacey Act. At the same time, there are legitimate concerns about troubling logging practices used in certain parts of the world. You can be sure I will keep your thoughts in mind as I continue to monitor the implementation of this legislation.
Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I may be of more assistance. I invite you to visit by website to learn more about how I am standing up for New Jersey families in the United States Senate.
