I once complained about a long line at the customs and immigration in the United States. The CPB officer's response was "Call your congressman."

Sure, so that you can ask your congressman to increase funding for the CBP.

Telling someone to call the president isn't exactly related when its the person's legal defense asking to speak with a supervisor who can help.

The answer people seek when calling their representatives about schools is to decrease funding and further restrict teacher autonomy.
