This thread has been created for the purpose of describing the ways to contact President Trump, members of the United States Senate and members of the United States House of Representatives.
1. Contacting President Trump
Use the website https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials to contact officials at the federal, state and local levels. This page has links that will be discussed later.
Using the website https://greatagain.gov/ is problematic. Using its Share Your Story option will take you to https://apply.ptt.gov/yourstory/ which activates the site's error handling code resulting in the page stating "Page not found." Using the Serve America option on the main page will explain the function of greatagain.gov. This website appears to be a transitional website because of the use of the words "President Elect" throughout the website.
There are two methods of contacting the President of the United States. First, google " how do you contact the president of the united states" Use the hit titled "Write or Call the White House" with the URL of https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/write-or-call . The first option is "Submit Online". This option will take you to https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact#page . This page is excellent for messages up to 2,500 characters. Longer messages will result in the error message: "What would you like to say? field has a maximum length of 2500 characters." This page will not accept text with HTML tags. Adding HTML links to your message will result in the message:"What would you like to say? field can not contain any HTML tags." These two limitations are the only ones known to me; there may be more. The second option is "Write or Call" located on the current web page . Scan down the page and find: "If possible, email us! This is the fastest way to get your message to President Trump." SURPRISE! This link will take you to https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/#page , the same page as the "Submit Online" option. Because whitehouse.gov would not accept my great thoughts, I went old school and sent my email to president@whitehouse.gov. I have heard nothing since, not even an automated thank-you letter. I am guessing that my email went into the bit bucket.
2. Contacting members of the Congress of the United States
To contact members of the United States Senate use: https://www.senate.gov/senators/contact/ . I used this address to sent a magnum opus to Tammy Duckworth, the junior senator from Illinois. The email was basically a link farm with links to the Elio Motors' website and to Elio Motors' Youtube channel. The Senate website converted the links into plain text. Therefore, if you add URL links to an email, don't give them a user friendly text name, use the HTML name.
To contact members of the United States House of Representatives use: http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/

This is a good site for info on contacting elected officials https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials. It looks like Perry has not been confirned as secretary of DOE. At least the DOE web site does not show him as the secretary.

"Catch a wave, and you're sitting on top of the world"... We all will be with ocean levels rising.
Better have a floating Elio then.

I just sent the following to Trump. I found that the White House messages are limited to 1,300 characters.

The Elio Motors Corporation can help make America great again and therefore deserves all possible support. First, Elio Motors estimates that it will create 21,000 jobs. Second, Elio Motor's two passenger, three wheel vehicle is targeted to get up to 84 miles per gallon during highway driving. This high mileage vehicle will help make America great again by reducing our reliance on foreign oil, reducing air pollution and reducing the financial burden of gasoline. Third, Elio Motors is targeting the "clunker" market using an innovative system called "Let Your Gas Savings Make Your Payments". Fourth, the Elio Motors vehicle overlaps the motor cycle market and the small car market, markets that are very popular elsewhere in the world. Therefore the export of Elio Motors vehicles manufactured in Louisiana could help reduce the balance of payments, thus helping to make America great again.
Elio Motors has stated "As we have discussed both publicly and in our filings, we are pursuing multiple sources to help us fund each step, one of which is the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) loan program from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). We believe that Elio Motors is a perfect fit for this program based on the government’s own stated mission. "

In response I received:

Thank you for contacting the White House.
If you have questions on Federal Government services, please visit www.USA.gov, or continue exploring www.WhiteHouse.gov.

Thank you again for your message,

Same site as this one?

https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/write-or-call

I think it was in your original post #1. Nothing back on my email yet. Not sure it that's good or bad.

"reducing our reliance on foreign oil, reducing air pollution and reducing the financial burden of gasoline"...

That's the point. The U.S. is about to become the #1 oil producing country in the world... and Trump wants you to spend more rather than less on what's pumped to the surface, to make the industry profitable. He wants to do get rid of Obama's CAFE standards for instance.
