Fix ``whitehouse.gov'' web site so that it spells the names of cities correctly, including capitalization

Created by T.A. on February 28, 2014

There is a bug in the ``whitehouse.gov'' web site where it fills in the city name based on zip code. It does not permit the user to correct its choice. It gets the names wrong.

It is probably too much to ask that they get the names right, though failure to do so is a bug. Since getting it right is a hard problem, we the signers of this petition suggest allowing users to fix their city names manually, in much the same way that they can fix their names and zip codes.
