Washington, D.C. – The White House notified Congressman Andy Harris, M.D., that it is reopening for tours of the East Wing and Executive Residence on Tuesday, November 5, 2013. The President shut down tours when the sequester, which he proposed, went into effect. Americans have been unable to visit the home since March. The White House is still operating under the same funding levels as they were when the tours were banned. Individuals interested in visiting the White House should email tourrequests.md01@mail.house.gov or call 202-225-5311. While tour requests are submitted through congressional offices, the White House makes final determinations on whether tour requests are granted.
“The President was playing politics by blaming sequestration for his decision to shut down White House tours,” said Congressman Harris. “I am glad the White House is reopening for tours and I encourage constituents to contact my office for more information.”
Constituents may also contact the office for tours of the United States Capitol which remained accessible to the public despite sequestration.

You couldn't pay me enough to step foot in there until those freaks squatting in there leave. The air in a chicken house is less foul.
who the hell wants to go there and hear lies and see fake smiles?
