I just cut and pasted the poem into a comment from me to Biden on the White House website. It worked. I'm gonna do it now to Kamala Harris. Then I will cut and paste it into a comment to my Congresswoman (Judy Chu, D Pasadena). I write/scream/bitch to my elected reps on a regular basis not because it will make a difference because they are so full of shit. I do it because I want their interns and staff, and for the White House, their political appointees, to feel guilty (or maybe just a teeny bit uncomfortable) for working for them. It brings a smile to my face when I push submit or hang up the phone, so it's worth it to me. I was a congressional intern like a million years ago, and look at me now! Try it my friends!!

Here's the answer I received from whitehouse.gov, oh the irony!

I have many of those ha. Occasionally they respond with " Thank you for agreeing with the Senator/Rep view point" ha. Seriously that's how little they care.

Yep every time. Why would we think there’d be anything different.

I sent it to POTUS on Twitter. I want it to slap them in the face too.
