Do you want to send an e-mail message to the White House?

Good luck.

In the past, to tell President Bush -- or at least those assigned to read his mail -- what was on your mind it was only necessary to sit down at a personal computer connected to the Internet and dash off an e-mail to president@whitehouse.gov.

 

But this week, Tom Matzzie, an online organizer with the AFL-CIO, discovered that communicating with the White House has become a bit more daunting. When he sent an e-mail protest against a Bush administration policy, the message was bounced back with an automated reply, saying that he had to send it again in a new way.

 

Under a system that was deployed on the White House Web site for the first time last week, those who want to send a message to Bush must now navigate as many as nine Web pages and fill out a detailed form that starts by asking whether the message sender supports White House policy or differs with it.

But you forgot a line:

 

 

if (agree == true) {

translateToTwoSyllableWords();

mailto:president@whitehouse.gov;

}

else {

mailto:\dev\null

}
