Write a letter to the President

Here are a few simple things you can do to make sure your message gets to the White House as quickly as possible.
1. If possible, email us! This is the fastest way to get your message to President Obama.

2. If you write a letter, please consider typing it on an 8 1/2 by 11 inch sheet of paper. If you hand-write your letter, please consider using pen and writing as neatly as possible.

3. Please include your return address on your letter as well as your envelope. If you have an email address, please consider including that as well.

4. And finally, be sure to include the full address of the White House to make sure your message gets to us as quickly and directly as possible:

The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500"

I have written letters to the former Presidents regarding Indigenous People's rights and the impact of Western Industry.

The white house does offer a contact page and there have been people to get a reply, but its pretty rare that the president or vice president actually writes back. I have contacted a congressman, however, and did get a reply from someone in his office. It would probably raise your chances of getting a reply if you talked to someone who doesn't receive thousands of emails per day and needs to help run a country.

So perhaps not the white house directly, but you can definitely contact your congressman or their respective staff. Some people get answers while others don't, but there are at least other people on the end of the line, somewhere...

If you are a gun owner or planning on buying one?

Meh, you might want to not bother. Just letting them know who you are and you are not happy could be enough to get you put on the "no fly list", and after last night? It's obvious where this train is going......

If you are contacting a Congressman, it helps to know what committees he's one and how he thinks about the issues related to it. If your complaint happens to align with his aims there, you can get a response from his office pretty quickly.

As much as I would like to give my honest opinion of the person occupying
the White House.I have to keep my thoughts to myself and NEVER put
anything in writing!

Well, the old man tells a story from his family. The whole family knows it but, I can't prove or disprove it...
When the old man was around 5 or 6 years old their family friend supposedly called the white house to talk to President Carter.
It must have been some "odd or rare" number as supposedly about two hours later the "MIB" or whatever showed up to question him. It's said there were two vehicles full, maybe around 8 or 9 men. They would have had to come from Chattanooga, I would imagine, to meet that "time" criteria...
As the story goes, the "interrogation" lasted around 3 or 4 hours consisting of questions like "how did a dumb hick from the top of a mountain" get this number?
It is said that this guy (initials B.K.) never talked much about it and when he did/rarely he would whisper and look around/over his shoulders, etc.
Now, it is just sort of a family legend/something laughed about at gatherings...

I don't imagine his questions for the President were ever answered though!

Yeah man. I wanna comment on the White House. Isn't it time we changed the color? How about hot pink?
