After 4 attempts to get something from John Kerry since he became the U.S. Secretary of State in February 2013, I was finally able to get something today August 5, 2013. I sent the fourth letter on July 29, 2013. Even though it is a Note Card with a PP signature it still is something to cherish and share here. [us]

Wow a sec & pre print all in one. Personally, I would feel insulted as a taxpayer. As many times as you tried, a hand signed photo was in order.

You are exactlly right Michaelwsnyder, I did request a photo as well and that was all I got. It wasn't even a sec it was PP of his signature. Even when Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State I got an AP photo and a note card. I'll try again in a few months but now I doubt I'll ever get a signed photo of John Kerry ever again because he is SOS, maybe just a AP photo next time. Even when he was Senator his office sent out AP's but never real hand signed photo.

Also, I looked at the signature and it is a printed out signature not a sec.

Really? Us autograph collectors are owed nothing by anyone, regardless whether they're part of the government or not. These people have EXTREMELY busy lives.. so to say "insulted" and a "hand signed photo is in order" is just ridiculous and selfish.

Okay, first off I'm joking! Secondly, unless you're a public servant, you have no clue what the 'Sec' of States schedule is like. You autograph collectors, hilarious! Yes, I think public servants, 'our employees' should respond to our request. They certainly have time for lobbyists with money after all.

I apologize Michaelwsnyder. I thought you meant to say that one of his assistants signed the note card. Now I know you said "sec" meaning Secretary of State not a secretary signed photo.

Actually, I'm a political science major, pal.. I'm pretty sure it's more important to handle affairs that affect this country rather than autograph requests, especially with the revolution going on in Egypt, a possible terrorist attack looming from al-Qaeda, and you're worried about signing autographs because we pay tax dollars. You're hilarious. A secretary of state isn't a desk job and it's far from it. You travel to a TON of different countries. It's an international job.
