Just call (202) 456-1111 and this is the message you will hear:
Thank you for calling the White House. Unfortunately, we cannot answer your call today, because Congressional Democrats are holding government funding, including funding for our troops and other national security priorities, hostage to an unrelated immigration debate. Due to this obstruction, the government is shut down. In the meantime, you can leave a comment for the president at www.whitehouse.gov/contact. We look forward to taking your calls as soon as the government reopens.

White House voicemail accuses Democrats of holding government funding 'hostage' during shutdown
Anyone hoping to give the White House a piece of their mind got an earful about the government shutdown instead.
A voicemail on the White House comment line at (202) 456-1111 brazenly blames Democrats for bungling talks to avoid the dreaded shutdown on the anniversary of President Trumps 2017 inauguration.
The bizarre message goes so far as to say Dems are holding funding hostage.
