Bernie Sanders' digital team offers a way for people to call the White House

Source: Mashable

<snip>

WhiteHouseInc.org was created last year with a PAC to push Trump to divest from his businesses while in office. The team that worked on Sanders' digital presidential campaign, Revolution Messaging, is behind the project.

"Until Trump steps away from his businesses for real, their property is no different from the Oval Office."


On the site, callers fill out a form with their email and phone number and then receive a call that connects them to one of Trump's properties — from all over the world and totally randomly. The website is aware that you will probably be connected to a hotel or golf course, but they suggest you "tell management that until Trump steps away from his businesses for real, their property is no different from the Oval Office and you want to talk about the issues that matter most."

The site explains that they view his resorts, hotels and clubs as "satellite White Houses all over the world." So if the main line isn't up and running (which on Wednesday evening it was not), this site has a few dozen numbers that connect you to real, living, breathing humans, who like the White House staff, work for Trump.
