Rubio Launches Constituent Mail Box

The Daily Caller reports:

Marco Rubio quickly glanced at several papers handed to him by an aide as he sat in a wooden chair in a small television studio in the U.S. Capitol complex.

“I’m ready, ” the telegenic Republican senator from Florida said before flashing a smile and staring into the television camera.

He read the papers — two letters from constituents asking questions on the debt ceiling and foreign aid — out loud and then answered the queries on camera.

It’s part of a new weekly Web video series Rubio is launching today where he’ll answer questions from the folks back home on video and then post it online.

“I think, honestly, a lot of people doubt whether those letters go anywhere other than into a span style="color: green;">computer system< that just spits out a form letter back to them,” Rubio said in an interview with The Daily Caller after filming his first installment. “So part of it is I want people to know letters are being read, and it does have an impact on us.”
