Here is the response received from Senator Patty Murray of Washington state:
Thank you for contacting me regarding conditions in Taiwan. I am pleased to have the benefit of your thoughts on this important matter.
While the American government has an obligation to take care of its own citizens through various domestic programs, I also believe that the U.S. should support other nations in their efforts to democratize, assist marginalized peoples around the world, contribute to prevention and treatment of diseases in other countries, and generally be good international stewards. Doing so will contribute to both world stability and our own security. Throughout my tenure in the U.S. Senate, I have worked towards a sound U.S. foreign policy.
Should this issue come before the full Senate for consideration, I will be sure to keep your thoughts in mind. Again, I appreciate hearing from you, and I encourage you to contact me again in the future.
I hope all is well in XXXXX.

It sure sounds like those form letters prepared by an aid.
When it comes to US national interests, human rights of others are not important…
