B. Then why are you asking anyone, Carnac the Magnificent? What difference does my explanation make when you are so omniscient?

Try contacting them again until you get a response. It might take some persistence. It might involve, you know, actually getting off your ass and picking up a phone, or going down to the office, or going to an event where Obama is speaking and asking your question.

I'm not being facetious about this. I'm serious. If this is such an important issue to you, and is such a harbinger of how detrimental an Obama presidency will be to GLBT rights, then it is your duty to make your case to your community. If you don't take on that duty it's on you, my friend, not me.
