You can talk to a real person at the White House...
at 202 - 456 - 1111 ... this is the President's Comment Line.

You may have to wait awhile, but I eventually got through.

2. A REAL person at WH?
There are no REAL people there. No people with spines or morals.

Why bother? What will talking with these jackasses do? What will you convince them of in a phone message.

Sorry to rain on your parade but I am not sure why this isn't a supreme waste of time.

They do NOT care what we think or want. They are doing what they are doing because it is what THEY want.

5. I just wanted to tell them something.
Will the President get my message? No, of course not. But there was an actual human being on the other end of the line. That was something.

6. It helped me.
I felt a little better afterwards. I don't care if he gets it or not.

And the phone company could sure use the money. Lotta lines down in LA.

8. As far as we know they are all OK.
Haven't talked to anyone myself but I got the word through the Louisiana grapevine. We are still trying to decide whether or not we should go. We think we'll wait until it calms down a little -- they have generators and they have food and water. Not much gas though. Gas is a problem.

9. I heard some of the evacuees saying that the police are taking all the gas
and won't give it to anyone else.
Don't know the truth of that--but the guy that said it was pissed.

10. Well it's definitely a supply problem too.
If it's hard to get in Atlanta then of course it's hard to get in LA.

21. The Whitehouse closes business at 5 PM?
While people on the sidewalks of New Orleans die for want of water, they keep normal business hours!
