Some 20,000 government web sites, containing some 27 million pages, have been accessed to a single site - http://www.firstgov.gov. Examples of uses are: you can track your Social Security benefits, apply for a federal student loan, find the nearest VA hospital or reserve a campsite at a national park.

You can very likely send the President an e-mail through it. Does it make a difference? I have a friend in Colorado who sent President Reagan a letter. The President called him personally from Camp David to talk about a couple of things in his letter, plus they both had horses. A couple of years later he shook hands with President Reagan in a receiving line. He mentioned he doubted the President remembered the call; however, the President said, "Oh, yes, you are the one with the horses."

If you email, you get an automated reply. I've only heard back from state representatives and governor. If you want a response you must include your snail mail address because that's how they respond. From experience, anyways. Maybe someone else has received a response from the white house.
