When I went to Africa in 05 I hit a stonewall trying to get my passport. Could not get it done and was running out of time. I called a family friend that called President Bushs office. A Bush staffer called me that afternoon and said my passport would be in my mailbox by noon the next day from N.O. office. Just before noon a car drove up and deposited my passport in my mailbox, hand delivered from N.O. The staffer called a little while later that day and asked if I got my passport. Thats sending the chitt downhill at warp speed.
