White house email is working again
Jan. 13th, 2003 05:07 pmI'm not quite sure when they fixed it. It was down for at least a few months after he took office, starting the day to took office, but I haven't tried it recently until today. Standard form letter from the autoresponder, pretty much the same one that Clinton used, with the addition of the "presidential greeting" option. I'd never heard of this,
apparently, there's a whole office in the White House devoted to mailing out letters for special occasions, signed by the President Himself. Interestingly, they included a Bar Mitzvah "or equivalent occasion" as one of the events you can get a Presidential Greeting for. From what I understand of the Bar Mitvah, I suppose the closest thelemic equivalent would be a IInd degree initiation. I think it would be kinda cool to get President Bush to sign a note congratulating someone for that.
Anyway, here's the reply:
Thank you for emailing President Bush. Your ideas and comments are very
important to him.
For up-to-date information about the President and his policies, please check
the White House web site at www.whitehouse.gov.
Unfortunately, because of the large volume of email received, the President
cannot personally respond to each message. However, the White House staff
considers and reports citizen ideas and concerns.
Again, thank you for your email. Your interest in the work of President Bush
and his administration is appreciated.
Sincerely,
The White House Office of E-Correspondence
