White House survey request - Let's all respond!

Don't know how I got on this mailing list, but let's take advantage of the opportunity. If you can get through the e-mail without puking, or even if you do, follow the link to the survey. Good pic on the survey page - an empty podium.

Here it is:
In just two days, President Donald J. Trump will deliver his highly anticipated first Address to a Joint Session of Congress.

There is an incredible spirit of optimism sweeping across the Nation, and in preparation for this address, the President has hosted numerous listening sessions at the White House. During these meetings he has heard from men and women from all over the country about issues that are impacting American families, communities, and workers.

Now is your chance to give your input. We want to know what issues you want President Trump to focus on and your ideas for the future of our country.

It will only take a couple minutes to complete the survey.
Take the Survey Now

The President is checking off the promises he made to the American people, and he won’t stop until the job is done.

The forgotten men and women of this great Nation will be forgotten no longer. That is the heart of this movement. As President Trump has made clear, this is your country and this is your Government, and now we want to hear from you.

I am not going to choose something that this bigoted racist sexual predator Putin lover has supposedly done. This is just another tool for these fascist to look at and say look what we've done for the country.

That's what they want. As Mark Twain Wrote, "There are three kinds of lies; lies, damned lies, and statistics."
And if the loaded questions don't produce the statistics they want, they'll make something up.

Yeah, they omitted "None of the above." At least there are the comment sections to remind these people that they and their policies are not well liked.

This is not how you get valid research and insights.
It's just propaganda tool for tools.

They conveniently left out the important things; Russia, conflict of interest... ad infinitum.

but I am going to guess at the end they ask for a donation? That's how most political polls work. They don't give a flying fuck about your answers, they want to make your feel like you are important but all they really want is that donation.

Maybe because I signed something on the White House petition page (trump's tax info), or because I subscribed to my republican misrepresentative's newsletter.

Embrace legal immigration.
Support and promote minority interests.
Focus your energies and attention on actual policy and stop with the executive orders
Work to fix the health care insurance system, don't just blow it up with out a replacement.
For the president to shoulder the burden for the decisions HE makes, ie the military action in Yemen. (Here is a clue it wasn't what THEY said that resulted in the death of a Navy SEAL, it was the authorization for the raid by YOU MR. PRESIDENT that directly lead to this man's death)
For the president to spend his time governing the country and stay the hell off twitter!!!!!!
Stop talking about the size of the crowds you draw and how much you are loved.
Fire Racist Steve Bannon
Fire Lyin' Kellyanne Conway
Get used to the leaks, they will continue to happen as long as everyone in the administration feels like they have to defend themselves from others on the inside.
If you want to prove that you promote American manufacturing then start by moving production of ALL Trump branded merchandise to the US.
