Effectively? No. But you may wish to write the president via e-mail at:
President@whitehouse.gov or send him a fax at (202)456-2883.
You might also wish to contact Secretary Espy at the USDA. I think they could
easily set up a satellite link to Texas, don't you?
Hope it works, Troy Bogdan, Farmer, Pure Earth Organic Farm
