I will give the man (or more likely his aides) credit for at least responding... They sent a very concise and to the point email response to me.
While I obviously disagree with his position, I have to respect him taking the time to respond... only problem being that I have never written to Representative Chaffetz about gay marriage.
I did however write him about the importance of ENDA and that no person, regardless of orientation, should fear discrimination in the workplace. So thanks for proving that you don't actually even bother to pretend to read the correspondence before sending out a premade form letter... apparently you get as far as GLBT and send out the gay marriage letter.
On an unrelated note, I'm still waiting for Obama's office to send a reply to my email asking how they reconciled his campaign promise to end DADT with him ordering the DOJ to defend the law... I kind of doubt I'll get a response to that.

Dear Mr. Smiley,
Thank you for contacting my office regarding same-sex marriage. My position is that marriage should remain a sacred union between a man and a woman. In other words, I am in favor of traditional marriage.
Thank you once again for your concern and for sharing your views regarding this issue. I appreciate you taking the time to write me. Feel free to follow my positions on issues on my website: http://www.chaffetz.house.gov.
Sincerely,
Jason Chaffetz
Member of Congress
