Net surfers outside the U.S. interested in U.S. President George Bush’s re-election strategy aren’t currently able to learn about it from his campaign Web site. Visitors from a number of international locations reported hitting “access denied” errors as they tried to reach the site on Tuesday.
Web surfers in London; Paris; Oslo; Linz, Austria; and Taipei encountered a “403 Forbidden” access-denied error page when they tried to contact Bush’s Web site, GeorgeWBush.com. Surfers in the U.S. reported no problems.
GeorgeWBush.com is the official Web site of Bush-Cheney ’04 Inc., Bush’s Arlington, Virginia-based re-election organization. The site features campaign material such as advertisements along with Bush’s position statements and policy plans. The site also includes a link to an outside site processing campaign donations; surfers both outside and inside the U.S. said they were able to reach the donation Web site.
A Bush-Cheney campaign spokeswoman referred questions to Michael Turk, the organization’s Internet campaign director. Turk did not return several calls seeking comment.
