Are they really telling you, we don't want to hear your voice?
Should you revert to snail mail?

Nah, its quite standard in the web development world. It's too easy to start long winded rants and copy/paste tons of stuff that makes it difficult to read (no formatting, plain text only). I've set up many Contact Us forms with the same stipulations - if the there is no limit people *will* abuse it.
From Verizon to the white house all these type of contact us pages on web sites always have a limit to the number of characters. I don't know if it is a space thing on the server it gets sent to or they really just don't want to read a long drawn out message.
Obama is saying, repeatedly: "I reject these theories, and so did the American people when they went to the polls in November and voted resoundingly for change." Or, in another venue, "I won".
By the way, before Bush left office, I called all day and got a busy signal. I believe they quit answering the phone altogether.
It's all about 'pay to play', now; even with Obama.
George,
What has this to do with the OP's question?
Na, just walk on up toe the Big house and say, "Yo, 'Bama what up dawg. Lets kick it old school all up in dis place and talk the walk." Haha, kidding kidding.
I have a question, are you just over analizing the fact that they limit the number of characters? If you have something to say, then say it short sweet and simple. Like "Joe the Plumber."
Peace and kindness.
Can you imagine how lengthy messages might be if there wasn't a limit? Do you have any idea how many people will use that website? I'm sure it will take forever as it is to read and/or respond to messages sent.
I made an edit. The website has a limit of 500 characters, not words, so that's like less than 50 words.
Sir your stimulus bill was hijacked by the Congressional Democrat back benchers. Take it back and rewrite it with what you think should be included in an economic recovery act. You don't want to own what is being passed .It will tarnish your Presidency.
Oh I didn't think that was a serious question NK :p I have no idea if whitehouse.gov had that section during the Bush admin. But if they did I would assume it was probably the same limit of 500 characters. Have you ever seen any contact us page for any company or politician that had an unlimited number of characters? I don't think I have.
I agree with you. It's basically a non-issue.
It is a non issue but of course since it is Obama there has to be nitpicking.
