White House Comment Line: 202-456-1111 (if the comment line is not working, please call the White House switchboard: 202-456-1414).
On hold now, and I will ask permission to record my call.
I got through!
I was very polite, and asked for permission to record my call...I was put on the line with a supervisor, who asked why, and told them for personal reasons. I was denied, then the female supervisor on the line refused to identify themselves even by first name, and I made my polite comment. At this point the telephone connection was disconnected followed by a dial tone.
