Back in the good old days, up until Guiteau and Czolgosz ruined it for everyone, ordinary citizens, office-seekers, people with grievances, even just your run-of-the-mill crank, could walk right into the White House and meet with the president.

FEATURED QUOTE

"It is the logic of our times
No subject for immortal verse
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse."


-- Cecil Day-Lewis from Where Are The War Poets?
