White House Obfuscates Email

Posted by michael on from the tired-of-nigerian-lottery-spam dept.

markgo2k writes "Do you want to email the president? This John Markoff, New York Times story (reprinted here in the non-subscription Seattle PI) details how the White House no longer promises to read anything you send to president@whitehouse.gov. Instead, you must navigate a multi-page website AND confirm your submission via email. Oh, and they only want to talk about subjects that are of interest to them." The web-form system appears to be a bit overloaded at the moment.

  1. You find ANYTHING about this administration ... by burgburgburg · · Score: 2, Troll
    encouraging? Remember civil liberties? Remember budget surpluses? Remember an economy that was working? Remember employment?

    This government will read anything you have to say if you're
    a) rich
    b) white
    c) male
    d) Christian
    e) You've donated $100,000 to the Republican party

    So stop your whining.
