Group leaks White House staffers direct phone numbers after Trump kills Obama's feedback line

Group leaks White House staffers’ direct phone numbers after Trump kills Obama’s feedback line



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/01/group-leaks-white-house-staffers-direct-phone-numbers-after-trump-kills-obamas-feedback-line/

President Donald Trump’s White House has made it nearly impossible for his constituents, the people of the United States of America, to offer feedback over his actions.

The White House used to have a public comment line that individuals could call to speak with a staffer about everything former President Barack Obama did in his eight years to cause some outrage. But Trump, not a fan of bad reviews, has taken that down.

An anonymous group of citizens has found a way around Trump’s closed comment line — or rather, they have taken the time to dig up all the direct phone numbers to reach staff at the White House.

The group set up a website called “White House Comment Line” where it has listed all the numbers to reach White House staff, and a guide as to what you should say when you call, who will answer your call, and other questions you might have.

The phone numbers still available, as of 11:33 am January 31:

Kiddies, if you really want to do this, be sure to use a cheap-ass throwaway prepaid phone, and buy it with CASH only. This way, your regular phone # cannot be traced and neither can they trace you from your credit card.

Have fun!

from our own phones. I picked up my phone to call one of those numbers, hesitated, and put it down again. If I knew it would do any good, I might bother with a cheap burner, but I'm not really.
