The response was brief, stating simply that:
"We are researching your request and considering whether some action on our part is appropriate."
However, the response to constituents requesting an investigation of Planned Parenthood has been more specific.
Thank
you for your recent correspondence expressing concern about Planned
Parenthood and a recent video related to the organization. We
understand that this topic is of concern to many.
The
issues discussed in the video, and decisions regarding potential state
or federal funding to the organization, are not matters over which this
office has authority. You may wish to reach out to the state and
federal legislators representing your area to express your concerns.
The
primary function of the Attorney General of Washington is to serve as
legal counsel for state agencies, boards and commissions. Neither the
office nor its attorneys are authorized to give legal advice or legal
assistance to individual citizens. I hope that you will understand the
limited role that our office plays in such matters.
Kindly,
A. Baker
Constituent Correspondence Liaison
Washington State Attorney General's Office
To contact the Attorney General about this issue, call him at 360-753-6200. Please be respectful, but make sure you are heard.
