I send messages to the White House continuously.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've been to the White House a number of times.
In Democratic administrations, I visit the White House.
Then, all of a sudden, here I am in the Press Room in the White House and walking in with the guards, who handed me three little pieces of paper asking me to send pictures to the guards at the White House.
If I'm just at the White House, I have meetings in my office, I sign letters, I plan different things. Late in the afternoon, I'll quit working and wait for my husband to get home.
I've covered the White House and been yelled at by presidents.
If you write something the White House doesn't like, they take you in and say, 'If you ever write something like you did today, nobody from the White House will ever talk to you again,'
I don't film messages. I let the post office take care of those.
As of now, I am in control here in the White House.
I communicate mostly via e-mail and receive hundreds of e-mails a day.
There's a big gap between 'Click the link to send an e-mail to your congressman' and 'Chain yourself to the White House.'
